XILS- Lab releases PolyKB II Player

XILS-Lab has introduced the PolyKB II Player, a fully featured synthesizer plug-in.

PolyKB II Player has eight fully customizable parameters that you can select, including ADSR values, Filter Cut Off and resonance, etc. These parameters can also receive full automation via MIDI CC. In addition, all of the real time controls already contained in the preset are made available to controllers present on the User Interface (i.e. the original Mod Wheel, After Touch, Velocity, LFO and envelope modulation assignments).

PolyKB II Player ships with the same 250 high quality preset library as the original PolyKB II. It's also fully compatible with the Analog Bags 1 & 2 add-on sound banks, as well as 3rd party sound sets, giving the user the ability to enhance the original library at a very affordable price.
