The XILS 3 V2.0 from XILS-Lab recreates the EMS Synthi modular synthesizer while adding companion components such as the 256 Analog Sequencer to provide a flexible virtual synthesizer and an advanced effects processor. Modular synthesis uses patch chords to connect outputs with destinations a situation that can become messy quite soon. For the Synthi a Pin Matrix was developed that allowed these connections to be made with the simple insertion of a pin into a matrix. Five other modules have been added to the main audio module to greatly expand the sonic possibilities of the software. Vector synthesis using an X-Y joystick adds further depth along with three audio effects.
