When the Sequencer/Modules panel is closed, then the two synthesizers are displayed:
The right arrow allows the opening of the Sequencer/Modules panel, by pushing the two synthesizers to
the left.
This workflow allows:
• Playing with two synthesizers, when no sequencer/modules are used.
• Playing with one synthesizer and the sequencer, when a simple patch is needed.
• Playing with the two synthesizers, modules and sequencer, when complex patches are needed.
8 XILS 4 common GUI description:
As you have seen, your XILS 4 is based on one or two main synthesizers, and other possible modules.
The main synthesizer is a matrix-based modular machine, for which every connection has to be made.
There is NO default connection between modules, and even triggers must be taken into account. This is
why the XILS 4 is so powerful, albeit having a learning curve worth the extra effort.
The main synthesizer has two matrixes, one 16x16 called the Main Matrix, and another 15x15 called the
Extended Matrix. You can display either or both of the Main and Extend matrices, by clicking on the
corresponding tab.
