Novation XioSynth 49 USB Synth – In addition to a 49-key weighted keyboard with Xpression Pad, programmable MIDI templates for your sequencer, and USB mode with or without a power cord (perfect for running with a laptop, or live), it's a full-blown programmable 8- röster's mono-timbral synthesizer with multi-effects processor!
As if that wasn't enough, it also works as a super crisp 24-bit sound card with ultra-low latency, with 2 in and 2 out and 1 XLR input with phantom power for microphone!
Xio is a complete music recording / production workstation in a compact and very affordable format. It boasts a powerful 8-voice Novation synthesizer engine with several cool new features, such as the X-GATOR built-in correction sequencer and 200 amazing preset sounds, including 60 from internationally renowned artists and producers. In addition, the XioSynth features USB audio and MIDI interfacing capabilities, with 2 inputs/2 outputs, Phantom Power and ultra-low response time. In addition, XioSynth is a dual-mode device, which also functions as a comprehensive MIDI controller with 16 built-in templates for controlling popular programs and hybrid modes for simultaneous synthesizers.
Review from Music Radar:
"The XioSynth is a tidy little solution for anyone who wants bags of functionality in a compact chassis. You might well grow to love it.
Sometimes, the best things in life really do come in small packages. The compact and capable Novation X-Station 25 was a case in point - it combined a controller keyboard, a synth, an audio interface, a multi-effects unit, and a control surface in one portable unit."
