XILS Lab

The PolyM is a virtual instrument based on the architecture of one of the coolest vintage instruments out there. The iconic sound of the PolyM ancestor was determined by a number of factors, beginning with two T.O.D Oscillators (Top Octave dividers), with PER NOTE Pulse Width Modulation, initially used to get a big polyphony. A gritty Moog designed 24db Ladder Filter. An acoustic Filter Bank. And, finally, a character full Resonator Bank. 71 components were patiently modelled, while XILS also also added a more traditional analog VCA ADSR, a plethora of LFO to modulate almost everything, and a trio of vintage sounding effects among others things.

Using divide-down technology offers a particular sound for Chords, Strings and Pads you won't find in any other synthesiser.

Features
