XSynth 25-Key Digital Synthesizer

ESI Audiotechnik XSynth

The XSynth from ESI Audiotechnik is an ultra-thin, 25-key synthesizer with integrated audio and MIDI interface, providing an incredibly portable platform for creating music anywhere. With twenty-five full size keys with polyphonic aftertouch and onboard parameter controls, the XSynth gives you access to diverse sound generators devised from its ROM-based virtual analog engine. From powerful basses and leads to lush, 10-voice polyphonic pads and captivating sound effects, the XSynth provides tons of great sounds to jump into right away in its four banks of 128 patches. The engine itself offers a deep platform for sound design, with three oscillators, LFOs, and AHDSR envelopes, sixteen modulation matrix slots, master EQ, and three dedicated effects sections.

A streamlined and efficient UI allows you to navigate this vast engine with ease, with parameter controls close at hand thanks to the four encoder controls. Buttons on the left allow for further expressive control, with pressure sensitive modulation and pitchbend buttons adding nuance to your performance. On the back of the super-slim enclosure, versatile connectivity enables XSynth to be the center of a mobile production studio, with onboard MIDI I/O, and an integrated audio interface for recording the external input and XSynth itself directly to a computer. If you're looking for an affordable instrument for creating music on the go, the XSynth from ESI Audiotechnik is a wonderful choice.
