All sounds of Reason Disco School are sourced from the complete songs; each composed, arranged and produced for Reason Disco School. The musical elements – bass, drums, guitars, strings, keyboards, percussion and horns – are provided in Propellerhead's tempo-independent REX format, and easily fit into any modern club track or old-school hip hop production, or as a starting point for song creation.
Included in the ReFill is also a collection of multisampled drums for use with Reason's NN-XT sampler and powerful Combinator device. Additionally, for club music, Disco School comes packed with electronic drums, claps and toms designed by electronic music artist, DJ and producer Sharooz. On top of all the disco grooves and loops, Reason Disco School provides a collection of instruments based on the ElectroMechanical ReFill (a free downloadable ReFill for any registered Reason owner). Reverb and distortion effects are included, as well as "needle drop" snippets of sampled grooves to round out the library.

Like the ReTubeVerb, the VSR-3 uses a spring tank made by specialist Accutronics. The reverb signal can be refined by a well-adjusted tone controller and seamlessly added to the unaffected original signal. Simple but effective.
Thanks to the well-shielded, internal switching power supply the VSR-3 works smoothly on any place in the world. In its 1U rack-housing it not even takes much physical space... but will create much acoustic space.

The process is very simple : you purchase the Synthix at the minimum price (84.5€ for new user, 76.05€ for Xils users) and get AT ONCE your license, coupled with the link to download the current stable release candidate version, loaded with 128 presets.
Inspired from a old monster (Synthex Elka?), aclaimed by a lot of synthesizer gurus, it is not only a new virtual analog : thanks to exclusive new features, the sound and the possibilities of this new polyphonic synthesizer enhance the XILS-lab inspiration tools.
If at the end of the offer, the lowest thereshold is reached (ie 300 people), you won't have anything else to pay.
Depending on the group-buy success, the maximum price you might have to pay to complete your purchase is 16,9€ (which is not likely to happen)
This is a trust deal between you and us: we trust you that you will pay the difference, you trust us that we will release soon the Synthix 1.0 version !
