Synth-Engine:

Xenophone is an advanced analog mono-synth with 100% analog signal path. It has three oscillators, two subs, four ring modulators, one multimode VCF, and analog distortion, all based on discrete analog circuits followed by a high-quality stereo digital delay and reverb. The extensive modulation capabilities of the sound engine plus the warm and unique character of Xen's filter enriched by built-in analog distortion make it the best choice for creating deep basses, aggressive leads, transparent and crisp synth lines, acid sequences, complex arpeggios, punchy percussive sounds, extreme SFXs and more. Besides the synthesis capabilities, it can be used as a powerful audio processor to colorize an external input signal by the analog filter, distortion, and DFX.

Mono/Duo Mode:

Besides the basic monophonic functionality, Xenophone can be configured to be a true, 2-Voice paraphonic (Duophonic) synth. In Duophonic mode each oscillator has a dedicated AMP envelope that provides envelope articulation separately for each note you play.

Control and User Interface:

26 encoders and 27 buttons put all the major parameters easily reachable with no menu diving. The Encoders smoothly turn and provide a high resolution that mimics pot's feeling and sweep range. The layout is designed in a way to be simple and intuitive. Using 88 LEDs and a free-angle OLED display, it is easy to get an idea of the current preset at a glance. Master Tempo and all LFOs have blinking LEDs that show the BPM and rates. The presets can be previewed without an external keyboard using 3 buttons in a 3-octave range or pre-defined notes. The user interface is creative and easy to learn with no useless bells and whistles. You can get a huge sound out of the box only with a few tweaks and changes.

Enclosure and Connectivity:

Xenophone has a rigid Aluminum enclosure that comes with a pair of vintage-style hand-made wooden side panels. Xenophone is available in two color options black and white. An acrylic stand is specially designed for this unit which offers easy tilting at two angles of 30-60 degrees and fast installation.


The box connects to the outside world using 2x balanced outputs (stereo), 1x headphone jack, 1x external input, 1x CV/Gate input/output, MIDI in/out, USB (For OS Update), and DC power in.

MIDI and DAW Integration:

Xenophone can function as a standalone instrument or fully programmable synth. It responds to the standard MIDI messages plus dedicated CC, NRPN, and SYSEX commands. The maximum implemented resolution in NRPN mode is 12bit, 4096 steps for filter frequency that provides super smooth sweep over the frequency range in comparison to 127 steps CC standard!

Computer integration is an important feature of a modern synth that plays a vital role in the studio. Xenophone comes with a software editor called: XEditor. Using this editor you can control and automate every parameter of the sound engine remotely via MIDI, storing your patches on your PC and vice-versa. It also helps you in deep and precise editing of the patches. "XEditor" is available as a standalone, VST, and AU plug-in for WINDOWS and MAC OSX.
