Two approaches to FM sound design
Intuitive and Quick
Merge and sculpt FM sounds with a single, intuitive, knob turn.
The X-Lab engine merges two FM sounds by smoothly blending their envelopes, modulation routing, and feedback.
The X-Lab algorithm can merge sounds with radically different FM structures and overtones, all without losing the fundamental tuning of the sound. Pitch locking can also be turned off to create brilliant atonal transitions between FM sounds.
Merged sound can then be saved, recalled, and merged with additional FM sounds.
We call this merging process FUSION FM.
Logical and Deep
For those who want to dive into the FM Engine, the EDIT mode and included overlay provide full access to the innovative 4-OP XFM engine.
15 knobs and 30 buttons provide quick and intuitive access to all FM parameters.
Explore FM synthesis without the conventional menu diving and head scratching.

4-Track Step Sequencer
Perfect for song production and live performance
Heading
Manage lead, bass, rhythm, and more, each on separate tracks.
Sequence up to 64 steps per pattern.
Save up to 128 patterns.
The parameter locking function allows you to record knob changes into your patterns. This automation function can be recorded live, or programmed in step by step.
Sub-divide the tempo down to 32nd notes for higher resolution sequencing.
Sequence longer notes across several steps,
AKA Tied Notes.
Features for Live Performance
Sequencer Effects
Three sequencer effects you can use to turn your sequence into a performance.
RANDOM, which jumps steps randomly.
STUTTER, which plays only the step you are pressing.
DICE, which plays by a note playback probability.
Chain Playback
Link together multiple patterns using the CHAIN function to create longer uninterrupted sequences.
3-way Note Input
Program notes step by step or record them in real time. Additionally, you can also input notes to specific steps while the sequencer is playing to add variation when you’re jamming or performing live.

Additional Features
Filter
Thick sounding high, low, and bandpass filters are perfect for live performance and sound sculpting. The filter also has its own LFO and Envelope which modulate the cutoff frequency.
Effects
Chorus, Flanger, Send Delay, Insert Delay, Bit Crusher, Reverb, Distortion, LPF, HPF and Isolator.
Mono-mode / Arpeggiator
In addition to the six-note polyphonic mode, there two additional modes:
MONO / LEGATO with adjustable glide time for creating basses and leads.
ARPEGGIATOR mode with 12 playing patterns, including PLAY ORDER mode.
LFO
Each of the four sequencer tracks has its own LFO which can affect both filter cutoff and pitch.
