CV/Gate:
Determines the CV/Gate connector signal direction. Note that before connecting any device to
this connector you must select the proper function of it.

CV Type:
defines the desired CV-OUT mode:
• Linear: CV-Out must be modulated by a modulator in MOD matrix.
• V/OCT-OSCx: selects 1 Volt per Octave (exponential scale) in this mode CV follows OSCx pitch.
CV-OUT supports both formats linear and Exp. While
CV-IN
is only linear. CV-In must be set as a
modulation source in Mod Matrix in order to modulate other parameters.
Write Protect:
(Off, On)
When set to on, it won’t be possible to overwrite programs in the memory.
BLED Brightness:
(0…96%)
Sets the brightness amount of the three blue LEDs which are dedicated to LFOs Rates and Arp Tempo.
MIDI A-Touch:
(On, Off)
When [on] Xenophone receives MIDI after touch, When [off] it ignores the incoming after touch data.
Calibrate VCF:
If the filter sounds strange or out of tune you must run calibration routine. It is not
necessary to run the calibration routine on a regular basis, as the VCF is calibrated at the factory. You
should only run it if you are experiencing problems in filter section. Before doing calibration you must
load the default program, mute all oscillators, change filter slope to -24dB and put the filter in self-
oscillation. Then wait 10 minutes for internal circuits warm up. After 10 minutes rotate E1 knob in this
menu and the calibration routine will be started. Calibration takes several minutes. DO NOT turn off
your device during this time.
(Note: Oscillators, Ring Modulator and VCAs are calibrated at the factory. because they will not drift in
any circumstances there is no option for user to calibrate them)
Factory Reset:
Rotate E1 to reset the global parameters to their factory defaults.
