It�s a Fact�
The XP-10 Multitimbral Synthesizer features 338 preset tones, 256 user tones, and 16 drum kits. The keyboard can split and layer sounds, and the X-Dual function can blend and create new sounds. The Advanced Arpeggiator includes many patterns including synth bass, random note patterns and guitar strum patterns. The XP-10 is fully compatible with General MIDI and GS, and it includes a built-in serial port interface for direct connection to Macintosh or PC computers.
