Note: If the oscillator’s waveform is set to 

OFF

, all the LEDs in waveform group will be turned off and 

you will no longer see the effect of brightness control for oscillator level

the same for sub type and sub 

level. A setting of 

On/Off 

disables this feature. 

 

Dezipper: 

(Off, FltFreq, ModWheel, FltF+Modw, Default: FltF+Modw) 

Removes  zipper  noise  by  smoothing  transitions  between  values  generated  by  “Filter  Freq”  Knob  and 
Mod wheel [E1 soft knob].  
 

Semi Enc Accuracy: 

(--/On, Default: On) 

Determines  the  accuracy  of  semitone  1/2/3  encoders.  A  setting  of 

On 

provides  more  preciseness  in 

editing the values.  
 

Enc Response: 

(Fast/Normal/Slow/Slower, Default: Normal) 

Determines how encoders response to movement. 

Fast

 means it captures quickest move (in real-time) 

however  in  this  case  it  may  also  capture  unwanted  data  due  to  contacts  bounce/Noise. 

Normal

  is 

system managed setting which makes a balance between “Response  to Move” and “Noise Rejection”. 

Slow  and  Slower

  increase  noise-rejection  strength  while  decrease  response  to  fast  movement.  (Enc 

response affects all encoders) 
 

Panel TX MIDI: 

(Off, On) 

A  setting  of 

on

  means,  Xenophone  transmits  MIDI  messages  (CC,  NRPN)  when  you  tweak  a  knob  or 

button  on  the  front  panel.  Every  parameter  has  a  dedicated  CC  or  NRPN  number.  According  to  the 
settings Preview keys also transmit “Note on/off” or “Stop/Start/Continue” messages. 

 
Arp/Seq TX MIDI: 

(Off, On)

 

A setting of 

on

 will enable the Arpeggiator and Sequencer to send the generated notes to an external 

device (other synthesizers).  

 
Preview Keys: 

(3Notes, StrtStp) 

A setting of 

3Notes

 means the preview keys act like C3, C4 and C5 keys of a MIDI keyboard. A setting of 

StrStp

 means preview keys acts like Stop, Play and Continue button of a standard sequencer.

 

 
MIDI Over USB: 

(Off, On) 

A  setting  of 

on

  means  you  can  transmit/receive  MIDI  messages  via  Xenophone  USB  port.  A  specific 

driver/software must be run on your PC in order to use these feature. While MIDI over USB is set to on, 
hardware MIDI ports will be disabled.
