A New Product from Xils-Lab?

Xils Lab, who have received accolades for their emulations of obscure analog synths, have dropped some hints in their latest newsletter regarding what their next product will be (here's hoping it doesn't require a dongle!):



"It is not an effect and It is not an emulation of a venerable old analog synthesizer ....
It is a full featured performance oriented synthesizer, designed especially for those who like modulations, easy tweaking and .... big sounds.
It can do classic AND modern sounds, as well as never heard before sounds as well ...
It has two different filters, featuring a special mode for organic effects ....
It is ergonomic, easy to learn, easy to read, easy to play ...
  • Classic Instruments : Use up to 8 Xils-lab thick and singing wave-forms, from two oscillators per patch, and shape them via the double filter structure. The main unit uses Xils-lab 3rd generation Zero-Delay-Feedback filters, with self resonance in each mode, while the second filter ......
  • Modern instruments : In addition to the LFOs with cumulative waveforms, the three DsyncADSR enveloppes, this synth includes an unique brand new modulator which makes your antic stepsequencers have some well deserved rest. 
  • Intuitive User Interface : Its interface is based on a new "Flower" Design and IVF ( instant visual feedback ) concept.Flower Design for the Oscillators, Filters, LFOs and Glide blocks means that you can understand the structure of a whole block with a simple glance ( IVF), making this new Xils-lab product fun, fast and easy to understand and to master.
    With the musical gestures prewired modulation slots, it has never been so easy to add a Vibrato, a Tremoloe or an AutoWha to your instruments : Just turn a knob, it's done. 
  • Limited but easy layers : It also provides an georgous full stereo stereo engine, detune and exclusive modulation parameters to sprayed fully controlled or complete chaos to various voices.  With a simple click, you can get wide Stereo Pads, big detuned Unison Leads or subtle differences between voices, making your patch more natural or ... totally unpredicable.
You will get more information on this synth very soon, meanwhile, you can already enjoy some of its sounds :

Note : in the Stepodrome demo, the bass is natural playing, not even the Mod Wheel was used to product the wobby effect."
