Synth info:
XILS 3 Beat Edition is a limited version of the full XILS 3 synthesizer by Xils-lab.
Limitations are:
- No Sequencer
- No input modules (Pitch tracker, Envelope follower, Transient Tracker, Input Gate) so it can't be used as an effect processor (no input available).
- No loading of external banks (but can still save/load presets)
XILS 3 synthesizer is based on the architecture of the legendary EMS VCS3 synth, XILS 3 is capable of creating both 'classic' sounds and totally new ones. Its matrix design is capable of more than 450 connection
permutations, offering more routing possibilities than any other commercially available virtual synthesizer,
according to XILS-lab. In addition, a built-in sequencer, based on the EMS 256 sequencer, can be used to create original and complex sequences.
XILS 3 comes with hundreds of presets, made by famous sound designers, that provide instant access to a
broad range of sounds and styles ranging from modern electronica to classic 1970s retro and experimental.
Of course, you can also program it yourself to create your own unique sounds.
Features:
Three aliasing-free oscillators: sine, ramp, square, triangle
One 2/4 poles low pass filter (a 3 pole self-oscillating mode is also planned)
