It would be very cool if someone made a well-organized large 70s bank. I am always reluctant to get soundbanks because I usually understand up using 2 or 3 of a hundred, I wish someone would sit around with the Gong trilogy albums and just try and nail as much of that as they could.

Definitely not a bread-and-butter synth by any stretch, and I can understand why some people wouldn't dig it, but I find it tremendously inspiring.
Ohh how I would love to own an original VCS3. Especially the one build in a briefcase, the Synthi A
Thanks, once I have had a bit of time getting to know it I might just pick it up, will try and listen to the demo's tomorrow at work.Xenos wrote:http://xenossoundworks.com/xils3.htmlGoseba wrote:Can anyone recommend any additional banks that have lots of effects based patches (thinking wooshes, Jarre type burbles, sweeps etc).
I put in quite a few effects patches, though it's rounded out with patches of other categories as well.

Btw is there any user patch repository where we can share sounds we create?
Also, how compatable are the LE patches with the full version, are they totally different? I'm still not upgrading until I ca do it sans-dongle but it would be nice to k ow if the day does come I could use my old patches.
It may make the most sense for them but not necessarily for me. I just re-installed PolyKB II CM and it is nice but not pushing me to cave. For $20 I can can get the 'full' LE version and I think there is enough variety especially by altering and saving off version the presets that I would be fine passing up the whole dongle thing. Yeah, that's totally understandable and expected, thanks for your reply Xavier! Any chance of a Synthix LE/Player version in the future?xavier wrote:Hi,
Preset/project compatibility : we tried to keep compatibility for presets and project when upgrading to the full version (the name is the same, so projects you did with the LE will load the full version, keeping your patch).
The contrary is not possible (a patch done with the full version doesn't work correctly with the LE). But you can easily adapt them : the problem is generally because the trig matrix is not set correctly.
Best regards

I am not going to get a dongle... but if there were a non dongle version of the full XILS3 I would get that one... Sound-wise I think it is my favorite of the three... some innovative features in the others as well and they are all good but the XILS3 and the modular nature is up my alley... This is one of the only synths with a dongle that makes me think for a second about getting it... maybe someday it will be dongle free!donato wrote:braj wrote:I may get those soon, I've been meaning to get your UA-1 patches for a while now.

They have a forum at xils-lab.com where you can share patches. Not super active, but it's there. I don't know about compatibility- I know some patches are interchangeable and some aren't, but I really need to differ to Lotuza or someone else. I don't think they'll ever get rid of the dongle at this point. I'm fine with it, but I know others make a big deal out of it. I think if someone really knew how good the XILS synths were they'd just buy a dongle.
The dongled version is only $20 at Sweetwaterpdxindy wrote:I am not going to get a dongle... but if there were a non dongle version of the full XILS3 I would get that one...

IMO it is wonderful regardless of being an LE version and whatever is missing won't be missed if you never have it. 
Nope, not dongled!VoltAirOhm wrote:Wow! Thanks for the link, braj
Please note: AFAIK the 20$ LE version is NOT dongled!
