XILS 3 LE Soft Synth

 

26 May 2010

 

 

 

XILS-lab have just released a budget price version of its XILS 3 soft synth plug-in. The XILS 3 LE is a Mac & PC compatible matrix-style soft synth plug-in based on the legendary EMS VCS3, a 1969-vintage monophonic three-VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) analogue modular system.

40 years after the VCS3’s introduction, XILS-lab’s Xavier Oudin successfully 'cloned' its sought-after sound for the computer-based musical masses with the XILS 3, including a virtual version of the pin matrix, offering more routing possibilities than any other commercially available soft synth with over 450 'connection' permutations, plus an 'onboard' sequencer based on the once-groundbreaking, 1971-launched EMS Synthi Sequencer 256.

The XILS 3 LE is effectively the first version of the XILS 3 (1.0.5) without the new features introduced in v1.1.0 (namely, two new envelopes, LFO, S&H, sequencer editing and new matrix connections) and is priced at only €30 instead of the usual €109 for the XILS 3.
