4.2 Synthesizer Parameters

The Xsynth's virtual analog engine allows for extensive sound shaping:

• Oscillators (OSC): Adjust waveform, pitch, and other characteristics of the 3 oscillators.
• Envelopes (ENV): Shape the amplitude, filter, or pitch over time using the 3 AHDSR envelopes.
• LFOs: Modulate parameters with the 3 Low-Frequency Oscillators.
• Modulation Matrix: Utilize the 16 mod matrix slots to assign modulation sources to destinations.
• اثرات (FX): Apply built-in effects and adjust their parameters.
• EQ Fine-tune the tonal balance of your sounds.

4.3 Keyboard and Performance Features

The 25 touch-sensitive keys provide a responsive playing experience. Enhance your performance with:

• پولي فونڪ آفٽر ٽچ: Apply pressure to individual keys after striking them to modulate sound.
• ارپيگيٽر: Create rhythmic patterns from held notes.
• چمڪيو: Smoothly transition between notes.
• آڪتا شفٽ: Transpose the keyboard range up or down.
• رکو: Sustain notes without continuously holding down keys.
• Modulation and Pitchbend Buttons: Pressure-sensitive buttons for expressive control over pitch and other parameters.

5. سار سنڀال

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ESI Xsynth, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• صفائي: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the unit. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampپاڻي سان ڪپڙو. گھڙڻ وارا صاف ڪندڙ يا محلولن کان پاسو ڪريو.
