XILS Labs Syn'X Mac PC Analog Synthizer eLicense

DESCRIPTION

This product is delivered by download. We have an excellent relationship with XLS Labs and should receive the license code to complete your order within 24 hours. However, if you're ordering after 6:00PM PDT weekdays or on weekends, we'll process your order the next business day.

It is inspired by a famous and legendary Synthesizer from the 80's, which a lot of talented guys used as their central Keyboard, including some synths Gurus.

Its a piece of history, maybe the last Vintage Analog Polyphonic synthesizer.

It has a special multitimbral mode, 5 different hi quality and hi character filters, as you could expect from a Xils-Lab synth.

It is MORE than a strict emulation.

It has many additional features compared to its glorious ancester, as you could expect from a modern era synthesizer .

The Syn'X is a virtual 16 voices analog synthesizer features:

Two oscillators with 4 selectable waveforms, Triangle, Saw, Square, Pulse and its dedicated PWM and Ring modulator mode. Additionally, the Triangle and Sawtooth waveforms do have PWM modes. Several waveforms can be selected simultaneously for each of the oscillators.
One multimode filter based on the CEM 3320 chip emulation, using our proprietary zero-delay algorithm, providing Self oscillating 12 dB and 24 dB low pass, 6 and 12 dB band pass, and 12 dB high pass modes.
Four D-ADSR : an enhanced standard ADSR envelope with a MIDI syncable delay.
Four LFOs, including two neverseen LFOS types.
Four embedded effects : Delay, Chorus, Phaser, Dual EQs
One Multi-track sequencer
Several playing modes including A la Moog mono modes and several Polyphonic modes

The Syn'X, brings some never seen features :

The Chaox : an LFO based on fully calculated chaotics functions. real life enters in synthesizers
The Rythm : an LFO with uses the Rythm for its main purpose.
Guitar modes, Circular and random polyphonic modes

And last but not least, The Syn'X is multi-layer and has a polytimbral mode:

8 totaly independant layers (each layer can have its own set of oscillators, filters, envelopes, glide and lfos, with independent settings).
2 keyboards, each with its own independent arpeggiator and MIDI settings management.

Oscillators : 7 available waveforms.

Triangle, PWM Triangle, Saw, PWM Saw, Square, PWM Pulse.

Additionally, the Triangle and Sawtooth waveforms do have PWM modes.

A PWM cross modulation mode and a ring modulator

Several waveforms can be selected simulyaneously for each of the oscillators.

Multimode Filter : Based on an emulation of the CEM 3320 chip, the Syn'X multimod filter providing self-oscillating 6 filter types : 12 dB and 24 db low pass, 6 dB and 12 dB band pass, 12 dB high pass .

A special overdrive circuit can be used before or after the filter.

D-ADSR : 4 special envelopes are available

Added to the standard Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release, the Syn'X offers a MIDI synced Delay step.

Usefull for instance, to trig a tempo synced modulation, to open the filter a few milliseconds after the amplifier, giving some plosive effects. A wide range of new sounds can be done with this feature.

Polyphonic LFO : 2 Standard full of features LFOs are provided by the Syn'X.

Each LFO can modulate the oscillator pitch and width, the filter frequency and the amplifier level. It also can be used as a source in the modulation matrix.

The frequency can be synced to the Host application tempo, the modulation can also be reseted by the keyboard or freerunning and a fadein function is available.

Chaox : A special LFO is provided by the Syn'X. Real life enters the synthesis.

This module calculates in a 2-D space the movement of a point. Each of the two axis can modulate any of the 132 available destinations. the rate of the modulation, the delay before the modulation is applied can be set.

A smoothing parameter allows to reduce the modulation variation and a chaotic level parameter allow to increase or reduce the chaotic aspect of the movement.

4 chaotic functions can be chosen, Flying Flye, Bow Tie, Rainbow and Butterflye.

Rhythm LFO : An special LFO for Rhythmic effects.

5 modulations are available, each one can be assign to any of the 132 destinations.

The modulation can be delayed and a phase parameter can adjust the start of the cycle.

Octo :a pulse at the 8th part of the cycle.

>Hexa :a pulse at the 16th part of the cycle.

Terna : a pulse at the 6th part of the cycle.

Hoover :a rampe at the 16th part of the cycle.

Stutter : 5 little saw at the 16th part of the cycle.

Multi-layer Two keyboards and Guitar mode

The Syn'X offers two MIDI keyboards (Upper and Lower) suitable for split and layered instruments, and a special Guitar mode.

Each keyboard has its own independent MIDI chanel, split point parameters, unison and playing mode, as well as a simple but powerful arpeggiator.

Each keyboard can contain up to 16 voices, freely chosen, for the full use of the Syn'X multi-layer features.

The Syn'X offers up to 16 voices of polyphony, by groupe of two voices (1-9, 2-10, 3-11, ...), for a full independant 8 layers management.

Guitar Mode : The Syn'X provides a specific voices/layers management, offering a new tools for guitar players.

For up to 6 MIDI chanels, two voices can be assigned.

In that way, thanks to a Guitar to MIDI converter, playing various sounds with each of the Guitar strings has never been easier.

This feature can be easily used by drum players as well, by connecting MIDI pads to these entries.

The Syn'X is available with the following formats :

Mac OSX 10.5 and later : VST, Audio Unit, RTAS (Protools 7.0 and later),AAX (32&64 bits, native)
Windows XP, Vista and 7 ; VST, RTAS (Protools 7.0 and later),AAX (32&64 bits, native)
Requres iLok or eLicenser.

the Syn'X is a 32 and 64 bits plug-in.
