XILS Labs KaoX

Inspired by a legendary FM synthesizer
reinforced by Analog Oscillators and Filters and Sublimated by Chaotic Algorithms

The Versatility and the brilliance of the FM Synthesis
8 operators, 2 outputs, 2 banks with independent pitch, easy programing of the FM algorithms, XILS-lab worked hard at sublimating the FM synthesis to a new level.
A clear, brillant and deep sound with a vibe that can be sourced from the other available Analog or Chaotic oscillators.

The Power and Warmth of the Analog Synthesis
2 continuous waveform oscillators, 2 zero-delay like filters, drawing on the vast experience of XILS-lab.
A Deep, Warm and living sound.

The Organic Life of the Chaotic Algorithms
2 chaotic oscillators and 2 chaotic modulators
Create sounds that you had never thought possible.

The Easy Graphic Interface makes your preset faster to tweak
Advanced parameters, contextual help and global view with easy access to main parameters.
Audio path easily understood through the use of illuminated modules.

Features
Two layers, Four effects, Easy to tweak

• The layers can be played Single, Double or Split
• Two independent Arpeggiators, Playing mode or Unison
• Easy access to Vibrato or Tremolo
• Four deep and warm effects with independent routing

All main parameters at a glance

• One Advanced Panel for tweaking the various modules
• FM Algorithm Matrix, always available when needed
• Contextual help windows
• Global view with active modules illuminated

FM Synthesis

• On each of the two available layers you will find
• 8 operators
• 2 outputs
• The 8 operators are grouped in 2 banks with independent pitch. This typical architecture is useful for creating chorus like FM sounds or punchy stereo presets.

Each operator features:

• One LFO
• One envelope
• Wheel and After touch access
• Two user define external modulators (to be assign to any KaoX modulation sources)
• Keyboard follower 2D pad
• Ratio or absolute frequency
• Low pass filter

Analog Synthesis

• On each of the two available layers you will find
• 2 continuous waveform analog oscillators
• 2 zero-delay like analog filters
• 4 envelopes D-ADSR
• 4 outputs VCA

For a Deep, Warm and living sound.

The Organic Life of the Chaotic Algorithms

• 2 chaotic oscillators and 2 chaotic modulators
• Create sounds that you had never thought possible.

4 tracks sequencer

• Each track can be assigned to the lower and/or upper layer
• Each track can have independent sustain/gating
• Each track can be used as a source of modulation

Preset Manager

• Single Window integrated Preset Manager: Find the right patch in seconds, manage presets, soundbanks and create your own tags.
• More than 500 presets created by fantastic sound designers
• Nori Ubukata, Soundsdivine, Tom Wolfe, Zensound, Mikael Adle, Xenos, Status, Yuli-Yolo and others….
