ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual assumes that you have some knowledge about subtractive synthesizers, so it does not go into depth of certain concepts such as how Filter, LFO or ENV work in detail, although the unique features are described here briefly. There are plenty of resources for information about the theory of sound synthesis. For more information about Connections, Basic Operation, Global settings, Saving, loading and renaming patches please refer to Quick Start guide.

SIGNAL FLOW

Xenophone’s signal path is 100% analog. This means that Oscillators, VCAs, Mixer, Filter and Distortion are based on analog circuits and there is no D/A (digital to analog converter) in signal path. Except for Digital FX which can be muted and leave the analog signal untouced. DFX stereo outputs are injected to a pair of VCAs and then mixed with the master VCA output signal.

SYNTH ENGINE:

Xenophone is an analog subtractive synth while it follows a modern semi modular architecture. The engine is customized in way to provide the important functions via hardwired connections and at the same time giving you the option to route your own signals via Modulation Matrix. The synth engine consists of 16 parts. Each part has several parameters which can specifically alter the sound shape, pitch, timber and color. These parts are categorized in two groups: Audio and Mod.

Audio Group: Oscillator1, Oscilaltor2, Noise Generator/Oscillaotor3, Mixer, Filter, Main

Mod Group: Voice, Amplitude Envelope, Filter Envelope, Modulation Envelope, LFO1, LFO2, LFO3,

Arpeggiator, Sequencer, Mod Matrix.

Audio group includes parts that are basically the source of the sound or affect the sound shape or color directly. The Audio group parameters are controlled by CVs “Control Voltages” that are generated by Mod group. The Mod group parts do not generate any sound but produce control voltages to modulate the Audio group parameters. Mod group can also modulate themselves via Modulation matrix. All these 16 parts are described one by one in the next pages of this manual.

Cent: [-50…+50] fine tune the base frequency; 0 centered. (50 cents = 1/2 semitone). (Soft Knob E3)

Keytrk: [on, off] enables/disables keyboard tracking for oscillator. For regular playing it must be on. When [off], the oscillator frequency is fixed and does not follow the played keys. (Soft Knob E4)

Waveform: see table:

Saw, Square and Triangle are the classic waveforms. Xenophone oscillators are purely analog and not wavetable based but they can produce new waves out of the classic ones using waveshaper circuit. These new waves are called combined waveforms:

SawSqr is build from Saw and Square in time domain (not Amplitude). Using Shape parameter you can morph between these two waveforms like the following example:

Shape 0 Shape 50 Shape 100 Shape 150 Shape 200

Besides Shape value the pulse width setting can also change the Square wave independently which results in creating of more complex and unpredictable waveforms with rich harmonics. Don’t forget to tweak the shape and pw to find the sweet spots. You can modulate the shape and pw at the same time too.

XOR ring modulator is a kind of analog ring modulator that only receives square wave as input, the output is square wave and result of the input multiplication. It has been used in many vintage synths like Arp, Korg and etc.

XOR function is internally hardwired, after selection it automatically gets a square wave from OSC 2 while other waveforms can be selected on OSC2 at the same time. Except the OSC 2 Pitch other settings do not affect the Xor funtion like: waveform, Oscillator level, etc.

TriSqr has the same concept while it is built from a Triangle and Square wave:

Shape 0 Shape 50 Shape 100 Shape 150 Shape 200

StpSqr is a kind of square wave with double steps while the Pulse Width parameter only affects one part. However, you can get a virtual PWM on the second part with modulating Shape:

Shape 0 Shape 50 Shape 100 Shape 150 Shape 200

Xor1-2: When it is selected, it replaces oscillator 1 output with “ring modulated” combination of oscillators 1 and 2 square waves. Varying the frequency of oscillator 1 with respect to oscillator 2 produces a wide range of non-harmonic overtones useful for creating crunchy and gritty sounds.

PW: [0…200] determines the amount of Pulse Width for Square waveform.

Shape: [0…200] alters the wave shape for combined waveforms: SawSqr, TriSqr, StpSqr. (Soft Knob E4)

Phase: [0…127] sets the start phase for oscillator. It makes sense when at least two oscillators are used

in the patch (Soft Knob E4). See Phase Mode (page 4)

Subtype: [-1 Oct, -2 Oct, -4Ring, -8Ring, Off] each oscillator has a dedicated sub oscillator which can be tuned 1 or 2 octave below the base frequency. Sub oscillator output is a square wave with 50% PW. The sub output can be replaced by ring modulated combination of oscillator 1 and its sub which is tuned 2 or 4 octaves below the base. The ring modulator is XOR based and only accepts square wave, all signal

connections are hardwired internally like the following picture.

Porta Type

Description

Legato Fixed

Portamento will occur only if you play a second key before lifting up the first key.

Always Fixed

Portamento always occurs regardless of the situation of the next keys.

Legato Scaled

Portamento will occur only if you play a second key before lifting up the first key.

Always Scaled

Portamento always occurs regardless of the situation of the next keys.

C64 type is a pitched noise which can be played by keyboard. it is like a lo-fi white noise while its harmonics are emphasized by the base frequency of Oscillator 3. This type of noise is inspired from the famous SID chip noise generator section that was found in old Commodore 64 game console. When you modulate the pitch of the oscillator 3 it also affects the C64 noise pitch.

OSCILLATOR 3 / NOISE GENERATOR

Oscillator 3 waveform is limited to Square wave. Oscillator 3 output and Noise generator share a single VCA, you can only use and select one of them. The noise generator module can produce standard White, Pink, Red and C64 noise.

Semitone: [-60…+60] sets oscillator 3 and pitched noise base frequency over 10 octaves from C-1 to C9: 8Hz-8Khz (C4 is the middle C) (Soft Knob E2)

Noise Type: [white, Pink, Red, C=64, SQR] determines the noise type or replaces the output with Oscillator 3 signal. (EDIT Button)

Keytrk: [on, off] enables/disables keyboard tracking for the oscillator 3. (Soft Knob E4)

VOICE

Porta: [0…127] determines the Portamento/Glide time. Porta LED=On shows that the portamento time is more than zero.

The portamento time can be fixed or scaled. In Fixed mode Portamento time is fixed regardless of the distance between two played keys. In Scaled mode it is variable and represents the amount of time it takes to glide a distance of one octave. For example if the distance between the first and the second key is two octaves, the portamento time will be double.

Porta Type: see table.

Bend Range: [0…24] Determines how many semitones the incoming pitch wheel data can bend the

pitch of the oscillators. If you set it to zero, the pitch wheel will have no direct effect on the pitch, although it can still be used in the Mod Matrix as a source of the modulation.

Analog drift is an algorithm which emulates the analog circuit components tolerance, temperature effect and power supply noise. These flaws caused instability and tuning issues in old analog synthesizers that used voltage based pitch control system. On the other hand and in a magical way these flaws have a significant role in warmth and fatness of the sound when more than one oscillator is used in the patch.

Voic:Dtune FM* Drft

* 0 740 26

Detune: [0…50] sets the amount of detuning between the three oscillators. The detune function increases oscillator 1 pitch and decreases oscillator 2 pitch from 1 cent to 50 while leaves the oscillator 3 pitch untouched.

FM: [0…1022] sets the amount of FM depth, Zero means disable. (Coarse Soft Knob E1, Fine E3)

FM is located in Voice section Page2. [E3] soft knob changes value ±1 step and [E1] changes it ±10 steps.

Oscillator 2 Triangle signal always modulates oscillator 1 frequency (you cannot change the modulator waveform here it is hardwired internally). Varying the pitch of oscillator 2 regarding FM depth will result in frequency modulation of oscillator 1. Except the pitch, other settings of oscillator 2 does not affect on FM function. For the best result Square should be selected as waveform in oscillator 1.

Drift: [0…127] sets the amount of Analog Drift. (Soft Knob E4)

Although the Xenophone’s oscillators are analog but the main pitch is controlled by a microprocessor

(based on digital tuning word not voltage) which makes the synth always in tune. Analog drift detunes and modulates oscillators in micro-cents range. If you want to hear the effect of analog drift you should use more than one oscillator and set the [Phase Reset] parameter to Free-run.

Sync: [Off, On] enables/disables Hard Sync. It synchronizes fundamental frequency of oscillator 1 with frequency of oscillator 2, producing a “hard sync” effect. In order for synchronization to occur oscillator

2 must be set to some frequency preferably lower than the frequency of oscillator 1.

Phase Reset: [On, Free-run] when “on” forces oscillators to start at specific phase (usually zero) every time a new note is played. Each Oscillator has a dedicated phase parameter that represents the starting point in waveform. If OSC1 Phase and OSC2 Phase have the same value, [Phase Reset = On] forces them to be phase synced. In some sounds like percussive or bass it helps to increase punch and overall audio level specifically when the waveforms and settings on both oscillators are the same. (Soft Knob E3)

In Free-run mode the oscillators are working freely and the Note-On message does not reset the phase. In most of the analog synths, oscillators are working in Free-run mode. You can get the best result for creating vintage synth sounds and fat brasses Using Free- run mode + Analog drift at the same time.

Clipping: Like other analog mixers, Xenophone mixer has the potential to clip the output If the summation of the input signals exceeds a certain level (clipping level). For example if you set OSC1, OSC2, SUB1 and SUB2 levels all to 127 you should not expect clip-less signal at the output. A good starting point for input levels is 64. If you hear clipping in a patch, the first thing you should do is decreasing the levels of oscillators, subs, ring, ext and noise. Beside the mixer, increasing the Feedback level and high resonance on 24db filter can also clip the signal. The solution is only reducing the source levels or resonance amount.

MIXER

The Xenophone mixer has seven inputs that are categorized in two pages on the display:

OSC1 Level: [0…127] Determines oscillator 1 level. SUB1 Level: [0…127] Determines sub oscillator 1 level. OSC2 Level: [0…127] Determines oscillator 2 level. SUB2 Level: [0…127] Determines sub oscillator 2 level.

Ring Level: [0…127] Determines analog ring modulator level. Ring modulator

gets the oscillator 1 and 2 audio signal as input and multiplies the levels and polarity of these signals. Varying the pitch of oscillator 1 or 2 will generate various non-harmonics overtones at ring modulator output while keeping fundamental frequencies of the inputs. Ring modulator is useful for creating metallic and bell type sounds.

EXT/Feedback: [0…127] Determines “External Audio Level” or “Feedback Amount”. You can use only one function regarding the connection of external TRS jack.

For processing external audio with filter and DFX you can inject an external audio signal into the Xenophone input located at the back panel. Note that for hearing the audio the Amp Envelope must be open this means that you must play a note or set the [Amp Env Release] to maximum value (Hold). A pre-configured patch for this purpose is located in factory Bank0-Program122: MSC-Ext Audio 1.

When external jack is disconnected, Xenophone uses its path for injecting post-filter signal into the mixer regarding the feedback level. Increasing feedback adds warmth and overdrive to the sound besides it decreases resonance amount, when filter is set to LP or serial modes. For HP, BP and notch it increases resonance.

Warning: Using feedback with level higher than 50 may cause self-oscillating with massive level at the output, in order not to harm your ears and speakers use this parameter with care.

OSC3 Noise Level: [0…127] Determines oscillator 3 or Noise Generator level.

FILTER [VCF]

ENV Depth: [-50.0…+50.0] sets how much the filter envelope modulates filter frequency.

Freq: [0…4095] sets the filter cut off frequency.

Res: [0…100] sets the filter resonance level. The 24dB and serial

filters self-oscillate at high resonance level. See table:

The table is valid only when the Feedback level is zero, non-zero feedback level alters the resonance amount.

Keytrk: [-100…+100] sets how much the filter frequency tracks the keyboard. For example, it makes filter frequency higher as you play higher notes on the keyboard or lower as you play lower notes. The keyboard tracking signal is the summation of MIDI note number, portamento and pitchbend signal. A setting of [0] means the keytracking have no effect on the filter frequency. A setting of [+100] means the filter cutoff will follow the keyboard pitch at a 1:1 ratio centered around C4 (MIDI note

60). (Soft Knob E4)

Type: Sets the filter type. see table:

Slope: [-12dB, -18dB, -24dB] sets filter slope. see table above.

FM(OSC1): [Off, On] enables audio rate modulation for filter

frequency via oscillator1. When [FM=On] oscillator1 signal will be disconnected from the mixer.

History Feature: Xenophone remembers the last edited envelope and shows it by blinking related LED. Thus you can switch back to the last tweaked envelop only by pressing [ENV] button one time. (For example, imagine the display shows “Mod Env” page when you use [freq] knob to change filter frequency the display will jump to Filter edit-page and the “Mod Env LED” start blinking, showing that you can switch back to Mod Env by pressing ENV button again)

UI-Fixed Mode: As you can only edit envelops with soft-knobs, this feature allows you to edit envelops parameters and other synth parts at the same time without screen jump. It temporarily enables/disables the “Display Mode = Fixed”, while you are tweaking envelops in “Display Mode = Jump”. For enabling UI-Fixed mode, press [enter] button in envelop edit-page, then the screen will be locked to env edit-page while you can change other parameters at the background. For disabling it, press [enter] again.

ENVELOPES

Xenophone has 3 envelopes: Amp, Filter and Mod. Amp ENV is connected to the master VCA

and Filter ENV is connected to the VCF. Mod ENV is an auxiliary envelope. All three envelopes are available as mod source in modmatrix.

Unlike the regular 4 stage ADSR envelopes, here envelopes have 6 stages DAHDSR:

Delay, attack, decay, hold, sustain, release.

The delay stage provides adjustable wait time after the envelope trigger, which is useful for creating delayed-vibrato effect.

The Hold stage freezes the envelope signal level after the attack stage that can be used for increasing punch in percussive sounds with fast attack and decay. Filter and Mod envelopes have 6 stages, but the Amp envelope has 5 stages (without delay).

How to change envelopes settings?

Using [E1-E4/ENV] button you can select the envelope edit pages and edit the parameters by soft knobs.

Envelope Style: Besides stage timing, the envelope architecture has a significant role in shaping

and forming the output signal of the envelope. Xenophone features 4 envelopes styles and you can set different style for each envelope. Linear style is what you can found in most of the digital synths that has its own linear character. The RC style is based on the vintage envelope design that follows

Trigger Mode

Always: Always starts from the beginning of the

attack stage.

Legato: For the first key it forces the envelope to start

from the beginning of the attack stage, For the second key it continues from the current state/level of the envelope.

Analog1: Always starts the attack stage from the

current level of the envelope without reset to zero level. It makes sense when long decay or release time is used.

Analog2: It is the legato version of Analog1.

LFO2SH: Forces the envelope to start from the beginning of the attack stage at each clock cycle of LFO2 when

S&H is selected as waveform.

#FootP: Forces the envelope to start from the beginning of the attack stage, only after receiving MIDI Foot

loop: when [release = 0] the loop function is enabled this means that the envelope will continuously switch back to the beginning of the attack stage after finishing the decay cycle.

Hold: when [release > 29.0S] it will force the envelope to be opened even without receiving the note-on message. This feature is useful when you want to hear the external audio without playing a key on the

keyboard.

FILTER ENVELOPE (DAHDSR)

Attack: [1mS…29.9S] sets attack time for Filter Envelope. Decay: [1mS…29.9S] sets decay time. Sustain: [0…100] sets sustain level. Release: [2mS…29.9S] sets release time.

Delay: [0…127] sets delay time. (Soft Knob E1) Hold: [1mS…29.9S] sets hold time. (Soft Knob E3)

Stl: [Lin, RC, RC2, Exp] sets the envelope style. (Soft Knob E1)

Trig: [Always, Legato, Analog1, LFO2S&H, Analog2, #FootP] sets the trigger mode. (Soft Knob E3)

loop: when [release = 0] the loop function is enabled this means that the envelope will continuously

switch back to the beginning of the attack stage after finishing the decay cycle. In this case the envelope can be used as LFO with an unusual waveform.

MOD ENVELOPE (DAHDSR)

MOD envelope parameters are the same as filter envelope.

Sync: [On, Off] when on, DFX delay time can be controlled with note values between 1/2 and 1/32 notes. The rate is then dependent on the tempo setting. If the selected synced rate for Px is more than the maximum delay length of the algorithm, it will be marked with an exclamation point “!” on the screen showing that you must switch to a shorter delay time. (Soft Knob E1)

Distortion: [Light, Dirty, Harsh, Massive] sets the distortion type.

Dry/Wet: [0…127] sets how much the DFX wet (processed) signal is

added to the dry (unprocessed) signal. “0” means 0% Wet (no effect).

Balance: [-50…+50] sets the amount of balance between Left and right outputs. (Soft Knob E3)

Volume: [0…127] sets the amount of main volume (program level).

ARPEGGIATOR/SEQUENCER

Using The [Select] button you can access the arp/seq edit pages. The clock settings are shared between the arpeggiator and sequencer. Arpeggiator and sequencer cannot be used at the same time. The “Span” option determines which one of them is active. For both modules, the “gate” value defines note length.

Arpeggiator settings:

Div: [1/32 , 1/16 , 1/8 , 1/4 , 1/2 , 1/32d, 1/16d, 1/8d, 1/4d, 1/2d, 1/32t , 1/16t , 1/8t , 1/4t , 1/2t] sets the duration between two notes and thus defines the speed, at which the notes are played. “D” stands for dotted and “T” is for triolic note lengths. (Soft

Knob E2)

Gate: [0…127] defines the gate signal duration. Gate represents the length of each note. When the gate is set to 64, the length of each note is half of the time between two successive notes. (Soft Knob E3)

Tempo: [50.0…250.0 bpm] sets the master tempo. Tempo controls arp/seq speed, LFOs synced rates and DFX synced delay. (fine tune: Soft

Knob E4)

Span: [Off, Up, Down, Up/Down, Step] when off arp/seq function is off. Up, Down and Up/Down define the arp melodic order. Step activates sequencer and deactivates arpeggiator. (Soft Knob E2)

Range: [1...3 octave] determines over how many octaves the notes are spread. (Soft Knob E3)

Latch: [Off, On] When on, latch LED is lit and notes played on the keyboard will continue to arpeggiate after the keys are released. The latch function also works when arp/seq is off. (latch button)

Sequencer: can be configured to function as 4 x 16 “analog-style” step sequencer or 4x16 “digital

style” Step-LFO:

Each configuration can generate four separate sequence tracks (Note, Velocity, AUX1 and AUX2) at the same time. When configured as “sequencer” the note track controls voice pitch and the velocity track controls velocity regarding the “velocity” option. AUX1 and AUX2 are auxiliary tracks and by default they have no function. All four tracks can be set as a mod source in mod-matrix in order to modulate targets. When configured as “Step-LFO”, the pitch and velocity control are disabled but all tracks can be used in mod-matrix. “Trigger” option defines which mode is active.

Wrap: [1…16] sets the loop point for sequencer. When Wrap is set to 8 for example, the arranged sequence will be restarted every 8 steps. (Soft Knob E2)

Trigger: sets the trigger mode also defines the sequencer or stepLFO mode. (Soft Knob E3)

Ktr: [Off, On] enables/disables key tracking option for sequencer. When “on” it transposes the arranged sequence regarding the key you press on your keyboard. When off the pressed key only triggers the arranged sequence without the pitch transpose. (Soft Knob E4)

Velocity: [Step, Key] When set to “Step” the sequencer uses the velocity from the velocity track for each step. When set to “Key” it uses the incoming MIDI note velocity for all steps. (Soft Knob E2)

Sequencer Note Step1…16: [0…127 C0…F#10] sets note number in sequence track 1 (Soft Knob E3, Symbol “-”). For inserting “rest” in step, note number must be set to 127 (Soft Knob E2, Symbol “ ”).

Hold Step1…16: [Off, On] activates the hold function for selected step. When hold is on, the sequencer does not generate gate-off signal for that step. Hold is useful for generating pitch slide while portamento defines the slide time. (Soft Knob E4, Symbol “>”)

Sequencer Velocity Step1…16: [1…127] sets the velocity value in sequencer track 2. (Soft Knob E3)

Velocity Slew rate: [1…127] sets slew rate for velocity track. Slew rate function works like a “lag processor” which limits the rate at

which a signal can increase or decrease in value. (Soft Knob E2)

AUX1 Slew rate: [1…127] sets slew rate for AUX1 track. (Soft Knob E3)

AUX2 Slew rate: [1…127] sets slew rate for AUX2 track. (Soft Knob E4)

How to build a sequence manually?

1. Press arp/seq [select] button and make sure “span” option is

set to “step”, wrap option is set to a number more than 1, and

trigger is set to Key-RST.

2. Press arp/seq [select] button again until the “step edit” page is

displayed:

3. Use [E1] knob to select the steps then enter/change notes with

[E3].

MODULATION MATRIX

Xenophone features 8 slots modulation matrix. Every slot has a dedicated LED, which shows that the modulation is active or not. If

the depth is set to zero or “none” is selected as source or target, the

slot LED will turn off showing that there is no modulation on that path. Using [+/-] buttons you can select the different slots.

Source 1…8: [] sets modulation source (see source table). (Soft Knob E1)

Target 1…8: [] sets modulation target (see target table). (Soft Knob E3)

Depth 1…8: [] sets modulation depth. (Coarse Soft Knob E2, Fine E4)

All sources, whether it is MIDI data or hardware modulator, are converted to the same range. The range

covers [0…+1] for unipolar and [-1…+1] for bipolar sources. Unipolar means that the source is only

increasing (or if applied with negative depth, decreasing) the target’s value. Bipolar means that the source can increase or decrease the target's value.
