V+ and X-505, The differences: This question has been asked numerous times after the release of the X-505, especially from those who already owned the V+ Vocoder/String Machine. The table below summarizes the main differences between the two instruments.

Still not convinced you should wan to upgrade from V+ to the String Bundle ?
Here's an audio demo with some new presets which will be added to the next version of the X-505 factory library. Most of these parts could not have been played with the Xils V+
 

Factory New Presets X505 A


Paraphony ?  The Top Octave Divider Oscillator provides a unique sound that no sample sets or other usual synthesis techniques can reproduce. Only one square oscillator, oscillating at a very high frequency (the "Top Octave") All the notes are kept in phase, hence no drift between octaves. The filters (Strings, Human Voices, Vocoder, Analog Synthesizer, Bass Synthesizer ) are also monophonic. This are the "limitations" giving paraphonic units this very special, very recognizable sound used by a lot of electronic music artists.
