Oxium is a performance oriented synthesizer, offering both a classic pure analog sound and modern tones. with awesome real time modulations capabilities, allowing you to play a synthesizer in ways you could never have imagined.
Due to its simple and intuitive user interface Oxium is fast and easy to operate:
- Classic instruments : Use up to 8 Xils-lab thick and musical oscillator wave forms per patch and shapes them with the double filter structure. The main unit uses Xilslab 3rd generation zero-delay feedback filter with self-oscillation in each mode while the second offers a vocal formant mode in addition to high-pass, band-pass and low-pass modes.
- Modern instruments : In addition to the cumulative waveforms LFO there are three D-ADSR envelopes, Oxium includes our brand new Le Masque modulator in its new incarnation with many additional features : It has now 16 freely drawable zones, horizontal and vertical quantize modes, two level parameters and, of course, you can save, load and exchange your patterns.
- Intuitive User Interface : Oxium interface is based on a new "Flower" design and IVF (Instant Visual Feedback) concept. "Flower" design for the oscillators, filter, LFOs and glide blocks means that you can understand the structure of a whole block after a simple glance (IVF), making Oxium fun, fast and easy to understand and to master. In addition, all the modulations are all handled in a central page, with additional easy knobs, including usual musical gestures per patch: It has never been so easy to add a Vibrato, a Tremolo or an Auto Wah to your sound.
- Serial only protected: Oxium is protected by a simple serial, without the need of any hardware dongle or chalenge response.
- Two skins to fit with your mood
Oxium 1.5 is a major update.
It brings new features, ergonomy enhancements, a slight revamp of the GUI and some new presets of course.
New features:
- Modulation Targets: More than 10 new modulation targets have been implemented. Both Mixers Global Levels, as well as the Level of all the Oscillators and Noise sources in each Mixer have been added. Stunning filters morphings, envelope or Lfo controled specific components of the sound blended in the most flexible way, superb evolving textures and sounds are just a few examples of what is now possible.
- Masks Envelopes: The Masks have their own simple envelopes, and the segments of these envelopes have been added as modulation targets as well. As we have not already seen the end of what the Masks are capable of, so these new possibilities open the way to endless spaces of creativity and passion. You can really make some crazy parts or never heard sequences when modulating these parameters in real time with the mod wheel or other HW controlers for example.
- All in all, you now get 59 modulation targets you can use in the Modulation Matrix Page, and in the Musical Gestures Modulation page, making Oxium one of the most powerfull Virtual Analog Synthesizers for Sound Design.
- New Masks Handling Functions: You can now perform MultiSelection and MultiEdition of the Masks, as well as any complex selections of continuous or discontinuous Masks to edit them simultaneously.
- We have also added three Easy Toggles Buttons to perform selections?: Select ALL, Select ODD, Select EVEN.
- Improved Masks Locator handling: In addition, we have enhanced the behaviour of the Mask Locators.
- They will now gradually change their color when you approach them, making them easy to grab when you want to edit the length of a selection, and nullifying the risk of moving the mask(s), when actually you just wanted to edit the lenght.
- With these new Masks functions, it’s now very easy and fast for example to adapt the masks to a complex groove, sophisticated syncopated material, unquantised drumgrooves, or to "?gate?" or Extend a selection of Mask(s) . Masks can emulate in a perfect way old stepsequencers or trancegate units. They add total freedom and flexibility as a gift.
- Ergonomy and GUI: Oxium GUI has been slightly modified
- The Filter Block has been redisigned, and is now easy to locate and identify, with two new labels for the Main and secondary filters, and its unification as a "?block?" on the UI.
- LFO 2 has now the same disposition than its two brothers ( it was inversed )
- The Glide/Protamento Block has better Mouse hadling ( Could be hasardous sometimes )
- The Toggle Button of the "Keyboard/FX/Info Zone?" is now located on the right of this zone, allowing space for future developments, and a clearer view of the modules surroundint it.
- A 3rd ICE skin completes the existing Orange and Rusty skins
- New Presets: More than 50 new presets have been added to the Factory Library, and most of them use the new features of Oxium 1.5. A new Sound Designer, Green Echoes, has joined our team.
- AAX compatible: Oxium 1.5 is already AAX compatible, ready for PT10 and PT11
