    "With the XILS 3 software synth, XILS-lab has done a fantastic job of bringing the legendary EMS VCS3 synth back to life!"

Audio samples

The XILS 3 oscillators are based on a well-known algorithm (BLIT) that has been adapted to give the most warm and pure sound possible. With this algorithm, it is possible to reproduce any ‘classic’ analogue synthesizer waveform.

The following screenshots show how the XILS 3 oscillators are close to the ones on the legendary EMS VCS3 and Synthi AKS synthesizers. As you can see, the raising front is sharp, but as the signal approaches its maximum, it becomes slower. This gives a particular sound: soft and warm, but at the same time, very rich in harmonics.

"Aside from a bit of EQ and compression, there are no FX on this mix other than the XILS3 delay and chorus."

 The Red Book by sweep

"Entirely done with the XILS 3, mostly using the sequencer.  I've multitracked sequencer performances, changing the patch pins around to get various different textures in stereo as the sequences run. I've made a lot of use of the different types of patch pin in the new version of XILS 3"

"The koto part was played using a Technics KN750.  All other sounds are the XILS 3, with some signal processing from the Yamaha recorder."
  

 

 Awakening by sweep

"Hawkwind's Awakening.  Lyrics by Bob Calvert.

Apart from my voice, all the sounds are from the XILS 3.  I've used signal processing from a Lexicon MPX 550 and from my Yamaha digital recorder."
