Hypersynth Xenophone Synthesizer - Function Test

Published on Dec 2, 2014 hot2warm

"This is my long-awaited Xenophone Synthesizer, the first physical synthesizer offering from Hypersynth. In this video, I simply test it to make sure that it works. Although long awaited, it's been sitting around for a couple months while too many other tasks had me occupied. Since this is a European offering, I had to use a power transformer that can step up and down power for using European appliances in the US and vice versa. It's also my first time using this transformer (I can do a review on that if you wish). I don't have a keyboard amp, so I pressed my old Gorilla guitar amp into service for this test. The pattern playing was already programmed."

Hypersynth Xenophone review

Published on Oct 12, 2014 SB-SIX

"This is a review of the HyperSynth Xenophone, a new analog monosynth with lots of cool features. In this video I'll try to demo most of the functionality. Since the unit isn't out very long, the OS might be subjective to changes, but it's really stable already.

Xenophone - New Monophonic Analog Hardware Synth from HyperSynth

"Synth-Engine:

Xenophone is an advanced analog mono-synth with 100% analog signal path. It has three oscillators, two subs, three 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 analog filter, distortion and DFX.


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 you 96 steps per rotation that mimic 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 the 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 external keyboard using 3 buttons in 3-octave range or pre-defined notes. User interface is easy to learn and creative 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 panel that made out of maple wood in two options: flat and tilted.

The box connects to the outside world using 2x balanced outputs (stereo), 1x headphone jack, 1x external input, 1x CV input, MIDI in/out, USB 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 and NRPNs. The maximum implemented resolution in NRPN mode is 12bit, 4096 steps for filter frequency that provides super smooth sweep over the frequency range in compare to 127 steps CC standard!

The computer integration is an important feature of a modern synth that plays 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 and storing your patches on your PC and vise-versa. It also helps you in deep and precise editing the patches. "XEditor" will be available as standalone and VST plug-in."
