XILS Lab XILS 4 Modular Synthesizer Plug-in Software

The XILS 4 emulates a prototype that was never released, the EMS VCS4, based on two integrated, interlinked, and interacting VCS 3 (Synthi) cores. XILS-lab also coupled them with the famous 256 analog polysequencer.

Take the 2nd huge Pin Matrix, and its numerous additional modules: Envelopes, LFOs, S&H, Voltage Processor, Pitch Tracker, Transient etc. Or the recreation of the unique, powerful 256 analog Polysequencer, intimately tied to the synthesis engines. Add to that the analog Chorus (3 modes) Delay and Phaser, the Spring Reverb, and the picture emerges.

In the XILS 4, you can connect everything with everything, giving you more than 1140 possible different connections per patch. It's an endless source of inspiration for those who want to go deep into the heart of Analog Modular Synthesis.
