3.1 ඇසුරුම් ඉවත් කිරීම සහ මූලික පරීක්ෂාව
Carefully remove the ESI Xsynth from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
3.2 Powering the Xsynth
The ESI Xsynth is powered via its USB-C port. Connect the provided USB-C cable to the Xsynth's USB-C port and the other end to a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port. The unit will power on automatically.
3.3 Connecting Audio and MIDI
The Xsynth offers various audio and MIDI connectivity options:
- USB-C: For combined power, audio, and MIDI communication with a computer.
- DIN MIDI In/Out: Use standard 5-pin MIDI cables to connect to external MIDI devices.
- Headphones (3.5mm): Connect stereo headphones for private monitoring.
- ලයින් අවුට් (මි.මී. 3.5): an වෙත සම්බන්ධ කරන්න amplifier, mixer, or audio interface for stereo output.
- Aux In (3.5mm): Connect external audio sources to be processed or mixed with the Xsynth's output.

4. Operating the Xsynth
4.1 මූලික පාලන සහ සංචාලනය
The Xsynth features a streamlined interface for intuitive control. Key elements include:
- බොත්තම්: Control various parameters such as oscillator settings, filter cutoff, and effect levels.
- බොත්තම්: Used for patch selection, mode switching (e.g., OSC, ENV, LFO, MACRO, MIX, GLOBAL), and activating performance features.
- සංදර්ශකය: A small screen provides visual feedback on current parameters and settings.
- සංචාලන බොත්තම්: "PAGE", "ENTER", "GLOBAL", and "SELECT" buttons facilitate menu navigation and parameter adjustment.

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.
- බලපෑම් (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:
- බහු ශබ්ද පසු ස්පර්ශය: Apply pressure to individual keys after striking them to modulate sound.
- Arpeggiator: Create rhythmic patterns from held notes.
- ලිස්සා යාම: Smoothly transition between notes.
- ඔක්ටේව් මාරුව: Transpose the keyboard range up or down.
- රඳවා තබා ගන්න: Sustain notes without continuously holding down keys.
- Modulation and Pitchbend Buttons: Pressure-sensitive buttons for expressive control over pitch and other parameters.
5. නඩත්තු කිරීම
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ESI Xsynth, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- පිරිසිදු කිරීම: ඒකකය පිස දැමීමට මෘදු වියළි රෙද්දක් භාවිතා කරන්න. මුරණ්ඩු අපිරිසිදුකම සඳහා, තරමක් dampඋල්ෙල්ඛ පිරිසිදු කරන්නන් හෝ ද්රාවක වලින් වළකින්න.
- ගබඩා: Store the Xsynth in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
- හැසිරවීම: Avoid dropping the unit or subjecting it to strong impacts. Do not place heavy objects on top of the Xsynth.
- සම්බන්ධතාවය: Always handle cables by their connectors, not by the cable itself, to prevent damage to the ports and cables.
6. දෝශ නිරාකරණය

| ගැටලුව | විය හැකි හේතුව | විසඳුම |
|---|---|---|
| බලය නැත | USB-C cable not connected properly or power source issue. | Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the Xsynth and the power source. Try a different USB port or power adapter. |
| ශබ්ද ප්රතිදානයක් නොමැත | Volume too low, incorrect audio output selected, or cable issue. | Check the master volume on the Xsynth. Ensure your headphones or speakers are connected to the correct output (Line Out/Phones) and are powered on. Verify audio settings on your computer if using USB audio. |
| MIDI not working | Incorrect MIDI connections or software settings. | Verify DIN MIDI cables are connected correctly (Out to In, In to Out). Check MIDI settings in your DAW or external MIDI device. Ensure USB MIDI drivers are installed if required (usually class-compliant). |
| යතුරු ප්රතිචාර නොදක්වයි | Unit frozen or internal issue. | Try power cycling the unit (unplug and replug USB-C). If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
