XILS-lab XILS 3

Matrix modular synth. 

What it is: 
Emulation of the famous Synthi modular synth - plus an emulation of the 256 analog sequencer.

How we use it: 
Craft lush analog synthesis or as a flexible and characterful effect. 

Why it's cool: 
Via XILS 3, you can connect everything with, well, everything. With more than 800 possible connections per patch, there's very little you cannot do here. The XILS 3 V2.0 not only emulates the Synthi ( VCS 3 ) modular synthesizer, it also adds an emulation of the 256 Analog Sequencer, the natural companion of the VCS 3.

Is that all? No, of course, we added a SECOND Matrix, offering 2 additional envelopes, one LFO, a detailed Sample and Hold module, and a Voltage processor...

And some input modules: Gate, Transient, Envelope Follower and Pitch Tracker. Which means hundreds of additional connections. Add to that the analog chorus with its three modes, and the analog delay, and the picture emerges.

In the XILS 3, you can connect everything with everything, and you get more than 800 possible different connections per patch (‘Only’ 583 simultaneous connections possible).

Did we say at Audio Rate? An endless source of inspiration for those who want to go deep into the heart of Analog Modular Synthesis.
