When it comes to popular music, the standards are quite high. World-class recording engineers track the most talented drummers in the shiniest of studios. Yet today’s top charts all have two things in common: infectious drum grooves and punchy drums, processed to perfection.
ReCoil gives you the authentic sound of real spring reverbs without the hassle, noise or limitations. Spring reverbs have always had a bit of a sketchy reputation in the music world. They are untweakable, noisy, physically delicate and make clanky sounds when you kick your guitar amp. But despite their shortcomings, one thing is for sure: their characteristic boingy sound has cemented their place in history. Love them or hate them, spring reverbs instantly give any instrument an undeniably vintage vibe.
Four bespoke virtual-analogue synth engines, inspired by classic drum machines. 100% audio rate modulation througout for true analogue sounding envelopes. Modern, joyfully addictive sequencer with per-step voice modulation. Individual stereo outputs. DAW synchronisation and MIDI output.
Digital recording is now the standard for professional music production, but many engineers and musicians still long for the days of analog recording. And they do for good reason – Analog Tape Machines have a SOUND. Big, fat, warm, deep, rich and exciting are just some of the terms used to describe what recording onto a piece of magnetic tape sounds like. To those that know, tape is simply more musical. So we modeled two of the most famous tape machines in audio and provide them both along with options like bias, tape speed, tape type, and more in Virtual Tape Machines.
The fuzz of tape. The dirt of distortion. When sounds get a little rougher, something magical happens – that’s LO-FI GLOW.
An exceptional clarity: The X201 Vocoder was modeled after an ultra rare, ultra pricey (even at the time of its release), Vocoder unit, whose intelligibility has never been surpassed. It’s the missing link between artists like Kraftwerk, Herbie Hancock, Frank Farian (Boney M, Milli Vanilli etc.), Cylon Robots or Droids in Battlestar Galactica droids in Star Wars and… Daft Punk (RAM)
The Organic Vocoder, First and Last step for Vocoding A Legend is Reborn ! Inspired by the EMS Flagship Vocoder ( EMS 5000 -1976- Probably the most complex and powerful analog Vocoder ever built) , XILS-lab used his knowledge acquired during the emulation of both the VCS3 synthesizer and the VP300 VocoderPlus to develop the XILS Vocoder 5000 Model.
