Who's going to do a EMS Synthi 200 Emulation?

GOTCHA - Thanks, makes sense

Are there still download links to X3 v1.x in the archives, would they work with my iLok account with X3 & X4 licences on it ? Just curious to know quite how different it sounded

Although I can't answer the above question (which is for XILS Labs to answer), I can provide a very short and quick test of the old and new XILS 3 versions for your listening pleasure!

As per the notes on the above Soundcloud page:


This was a very small test just now over four presets to check out differences in the sound between the two XILS 3 versions (V153 vs V201).

* Always the old V153 plays the notes over four bars first.
After a brief pause, the Modern V201 always plays the same notes second *

Midi boshed together quickly from some Sample Magic midi files.

The presets in order for both synth versions were:

KY Backing Keys Ltz
BA Dj SavedMyLife Ltz
BR PolyPorta Ltz
PA Silky Ltz


No effects, not even a limiter, were used.

All tracks set at exactly same levels for each comparable preset.
See photo on that Soundcloud page for proof.

Audio recorded directly using Voxengo Recorder on the Master channel.

Cheers.

Always nice to see what people make with my presets

Yes, with the Xils 4 licence you can install Xils4/and Xils 3v2/Xils 3v1.5. The preset directory will be the same.

Absolutely.
Good strong presets there

Apparently EMS never made a Synthi 200. The guess is that it is a Synthi 100 then modified by Ludwig Rehberg.

I found the Reaktor ensemble SIAC somewhat closer to the spirit of the VCS3/A/AKS.

Thanks for mentioning that ens.

As much as i like Soniccoutre (which is a lot ) i just don't see how samples of a VCS3/Synthi A can do justice to their unique playability. i'm sure it sounds great though.
