Larry Shelby Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The XILS Insider Inspired by an Iconic Vocoder, the XILS 201 is released Greetings XILS Friends and Fans, We're pleased to announce the immediate release of our emulation of another iconic analog Vocoder: The XILS 201, which is also part of our newly released Analog Vocoders Bundle Until July 31st 2020 XILS 201 Intro Price: 89€ Analog Vocoders Bundle Intro Price: 119€ Analog Vocoders Bundle upgrade intro price (if you already own the X-5000 vocoder): 39€ 1-XILS-lab X-201, Vocoder … and vintage MultiEffect An exceptional clarity: The X-201 Vocoder was modeled after an ultra rare, ultra pricey, even when it was released, Vocoder unit, whose intelligibility has never been surpassed (The X201 is inspired by the Sennheiser VSM 201) It's the missing link between artists like Kraftwerk, Herbie Hancock, Frank Farian (BoneyM, Milli Vanilli etc), many Cyclon Robots or Droid in Star Wars and Battlestar Gallactica and … Daft Punk (RAM) 2- X-201 Vocoder : Play it, Sing it. XILS 201: Daft Punk How to tutorial + How to configure it in Cubase. Two Filter Banks: Each of it's two Filter Banks offer 20 frequency bands. Each Filter Bank can process the incoming signal ( Usually voice, but any other signal, including drums, can be processed) , or the CARRIER signal. As a comparison, the Roland VP-330 only had 10 frequency bands, with a very musical sound, at the price of much less clarity. The Carrier: It can be the internal analog Synthesizer. Which immediately gives the X201 its characteristic and recognizable sound. Or any other incoming signal, like an external Synthesizer ( Make bells 'sing'), another voice etc. The Silence Bridging: Under this exotic name you'll find a (MultiBand) frequency dependant Enveloppe Follower engine, which will shape the signal gain according to it's harmonic content, and is very useful to process percussive or rhythmic sonic material for example, or give contour to the sound. So how does it work -in any Daw-? Usual scenario: You record your voice, even without actually singing, then choose the internal synth as the Carrier. Then you send Midi notes to the Carrier to make your voice sing these notes (or chords, because the engine is polyphonic). Et voilà. More is more: On the X201, we exposed internal circuitry parameters that were not available on the original unit, making it more versatile, and powerful. We also added some vintage analog modeled effects: Chorus, Phaser, Delay and an 'early digital' reverb unit. ( Custom Effect routing and order ) As a Mutli FX: This means that you can also use the X201 as a simple Filter Bank/Chorus/Phaser/Delay/Reverb MultiEffect. Try it on a Rhodes, Clavinet or String Machine patch, and rediscover plenty of these vintage organic sounds that required a big chain of vintage effects to be achieved.

Larry Shelby Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 Wow...links were full of "Threats" according to Bitdefender...couldn't post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 You'd think with all the claims they'd have a slew of audio demos showcasing it's great processing... but no. Doesn't mean that it's not good but there's a lot of cheaper competition out there for the moths in our wallets - for example Waves OVOX and iZotope VocalSynth. While it will probably be a bit pricey Zynaptiq's Orange Vocoder IV with Windows support (VST 2.4 & VST3 versions) is supposed to be coming out soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin H Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Checked out the link to Zynaptiq orange vocoder and looks like it is way late... “Pricing & Availability ORANGE VOCODER 4 will be released early Q2, 2018. Pricing is TBA.” im intrigued by ovox but really don’t like WUP. I have vocal synth 2 already but I am looking for a more classic vocoder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 One way to get a really nice vocoder is to buy Mixcraft, which comes with one made by Acoustica themselves that may be used in other hosts (at least it could last time I checked). Current price is $75, but they have been known to deep discount it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
