12 XILS 4 modules description:
The XILS 4 GUI is divided into four areas: Two cabinets are dedicated to the main synthesizers. One
cabinet is dedicated to the keyboard and it's controls, and another cabinet is dedicated to the advanced
analog-like 3 layer sequencer (based on the old EMS 256 unit) and other modules.
12.1 Main synthesizers:
Both the left and right synthesizers are divided in two parts; the synthesis, and the matrix and level part.
The matrix part itself has tabs that can display the main 16x16 matrix, the advanced 15x15 matrix with
extended connection menus, or both of the matrices. When only one matrix is displayed, the output level
and pan are shown, as well as a joystick.
The synthesis part is build with:
(from the left to the right, top to bottom)
• Three oscillators.
• One ring modulator.
• One self oscillating filter.
• One envelope shaper, with its dedicated
amplifier (VCA).
• One noise generator.
• One input level (for using the XILS 4 as an
effect processor, or for connecting the left
synthesizer to the right.)
• One output static filter.
• One vu-meter.
The second part shows the connection matrix and
the output level and pan.
A (MIDI controllable) Joystick can be connected
through the matrix.
