XILS-lab announces that a dongle free demo version of their polyKB virtual synth is now available.

The polyKB is a recreation of a very rare, very powerful polyphonic synthesizer released in the 80's by a french company. It is a polyphonic substractive synthesizer based on two waveform morphing, aliasing free oscillators and a self oscilating 4 poles low pass filter.

One of its features, never heard on other analog synthesizers, was the continuously modulated waveform, sort of a modulated waveform morphing. Recreating this feature in the digital domain, without aliasing was a very big challenge.

Features :

• two aliasing-free morphing oscillators: from triangle to pulse, through saw.
• one 4 poles low pass self oscillating filter
• two envelope generators (ADSR)
• two MIDI synced LFO
• one MIDI synced Sample and Hold
• one 128 steps polyphonic sequencer
• one arpeggiator
• chorus and delay effects
• mono/unison/poly playing mode with up to 16 voices of polyphony
• all parameters are MIDI controllable

This dongle-free demo version has the following limitations :

• No project, presets saving.
• No automation.
• No MIDI controllers.
• No presets bank import/export.
• One second of silence is inserted approximately every 20 seconds.

The polyKB is available now for Windows and Mac OS X in VST, AU and RTAS instrument plug-in formats at a price of €149. Note that there is also time-limited full-featured demos available for USB-eLicenser and iLok users.

You must be logged in as a registered member to use this feature!
