Sound Shaper Experts onboard! The XT's innovative Sound Shaper function allows you create new sounds with the virtual "know-how" of professional sound designers. ~ By selecting your destination sound type whether a pad, bass, lead sound, etc. ~ this macro function guides you quickly through relevant parameters while editing. ~ Complex editing is made easy. ~ Audio Inputs The XT provides a variety of input paths for sampling and external-audio processing. ~ You can sample directly into the synth via its audio inputs (XLR and 1/4-inch), you can import samples through USB (WAV and AIF format), or you can feed live audio to the XT for processing in real time. ~ The front-panel Hi-Z input allows the XT to function as a unique and powerful effects rack for guitar or other instruments, the XLR input (with phantom power) allows the XT to be utilized as a full-blown vocoder. ~ USB audio streaming enables computer-aided sound design lighting; dj gear; drum sticks; orchesta percussion; electric drums; acoustic drums; percussion; drums; midi; sound modules; groove stations; arrangers; portable keyboards; digital pianos; workstations; synths; electric bass; bass; amps; acoustic guitar; electric guitar; musical instruments;
