  Tim Blake
 
XILS 3 : "I'm really enjoying using the soft-synth...
Great Work! it's highly recommended !

Clearly, the XILS 3 brings together all the advantages of the EMS, and many more, whilst curing and eliminating all the disavantages of the original Instrument.
Add to this, the stability that digital offers the instrument, and this virtual EMS becomes the chromatic instrument that was so difficult to use Live up till now"

Tim Blake is a Composer, Performer - Sound & Light Artist since 1970.
One of Europe's first synthesiser players, and mostly noted for using the EMS VCS3, working as Crystal Machine, as well  as  collaborating with cult Space Rock bands Gong & Hawkwind, Tim's attitude to electronics has profoundly marked the sound of  electronic et rock music from the late '70's to this day.
