XILS-lab Releases Oxium New Performance Soft Synth Plug-in

"GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software company XILS-lab is proud to announce availability of Oxium, its newly-launched performance-orientated soft synth, as of July 21, 2012...

Oxium is a unique, yet cost-conscious (€99.00 EURO/$129.00 USD) Mac-compatible (OS X 10.4 — 32-bit PowerPC and Intel; Mac OS X 10.6 or later — 32- and 64-bit Intel; Audio Unit, VST, RTAS — Pro Tools 7.0 and later) and PC-compatible (Windows XP, Vista, and 7 — 32- and 64-bit; VST, RTAS — Pro Tools 7.0 and later) performance-orientated soft synth plug-in, adept at giving equal billing to still-sought-after classic analogue sounds and more adventurous modernistic tones.

Mastering Oxium is far from being a steep learning curve, however, thanks to its intuitive user interface. An Instant Visual Feedback (IVF) concept based around a ‘Flower’ design allows standard synth building blocks — oscillators, filters, and LFOs, etc — to be quickly absorbed at a glance. Meanwhile, modulation options are also accessible quickly and simply via a central page, and include the usual suspects — never has it been so simple to add performance-enhancing Vibrato (oscillator pitch), Tremolo (VCA level), or Auto-Wah (cutoff frequency) modulations to a patch!

Looking for ‘photorealistic’ analogue-sounding sounds? Then look no further: take two cumulative analogue- modelled oscillators and simultaneously select several (Triangle, PWM Triangle, Saw, Square, and PWM Pulse) waveforms for each (together with cross and ring modulation); shape them with a flexible double- multimode filter structure using XILS-lab’s proprietary third-generation zero-delay feedback algorithm featuring six self-oscillating filter types (12dB and 24dB Lowpass, 6dB and 12dB Bandpass, and 12dB High- Pass — plus 12dB Lowpass, Bandpass, High-Pass, and an additional Formant Filter option on the second filter that can also be modulated); finally, mix to taste using the flexible double-mixer architecture with fully- configurable serial or parallel modes, and... voila! Subtractive synthesis speedily taken to a new dimension.

Seeking something more modern and exotic-sounding? Then try using the Grid, Oxium’s onboard advanced sequencer modulator, adapted from the masked zones idea introduced in XILS-lab’s Le Masque: Delay timeline-driven delay effects plug-in namesake, featuring 16 freely-assignable zones, horizontal and vertical quantise modes, and two level parameters for added musical flexibility. Ditto the three (Amplifier, Filter, and Auxiliary) D-ADSR envelopes easily at hand to assist with sound sculpting — perfect for triggering tempo- synched modulation, for example. And rounding off this fanciful feature set, three full-featured LFOs that can be set to run polyphonically (with each voice having its own LFO) or monophonically (with all voices using the same LFO), each capable of modulating oscillator pitch and width, filter frequency (host application synchronised or otherwise), and amplifier level.

To top things off, Oxium comes complete with over 250 carefully chosen performance-showcasing presets from XILS-lab’s talented team of well-known, world-class sound designers, while two user-selectable skins reflect its ‘split personality’... so why not choose one today?

Oxium is available to purchase from the dedicated XILS-lab online Store for a special introductory price of €69 EURO/$89.00 USD until August 15 (rising to €99 EURO /$129.00 USD thereafter). Note: this is a serial number-protected product — no iLok required!

Native Instruments introduces RAW VOLTAGE

"Berlin, July 23rd, 2012 – Native Instruments today introduced RAW VOLTAGE, a new MASCHINE Expansion which captures the sound of a huge modular synthesizer system. For instant use with MASCHINE or MASCHINE MIKRO, RAW VOLTAGE contains kits, instruments and patterns that share the unique, rich and organic sound characteristics of analog synthesis.

The sounds inside RAW VOLTAGE range from grainy, noisy and raw to sleek, cool and clinical. Sampled from a one-of-a-kind analog modular system, RAW VOLTAGE has a wide sonic scope, inspired in part by experimental and avant-garde electronica. The drum and percussion sounds are punchy, loud and direct, while the sampled basses, leads, pads and soundscapes are rich in detail and analog atmosphere. The expansion also includes 140 expertly-programmed patterns, providing a wide selection of styles from broken, jagged rhythms to steady, flowing grooves.

RAW VOLTAGE is designed to evoke the sound and character of modular analog synthesis inside MASCHINE, combining these unmistakable sounds with the renowned MASCHINE production workflow. The kits and instruments provided cross genre boundaries to inject analog feel into any musical project – from techno to hip-hop, electronica and beyond.

RAW VOLTAGE is based on a unique custom modular system used and created by Norwegian synthesis expert Roger Grønberg (Frodebeats). The system includes modules from Modcan, MOTM, Oakley, CGS, STG, Encore, Buchla plus many unique custom and DIY modules, as well as analog synthesizers like Arp Odyssey/2600 and Korg MiniKorg 700s.

A compact version of RAW VOLTAGE is also available for iMASCHINE – the groove sketchpad for iPhone® / iPod Touch®.

RAW VOLTAGE is available at the NI Online Shop for $59/49 EUR. For owners of iMASCHINE, a compact version of RAW VOLTAGE is also available via the iMASCHINE in-app store for $0.99/0,79 EUR.
