XILS-lab has announced Oxium, a new performance synthesizer plug-in for Windows and Mac OS X in VST, AU and RTAS formats.

You can join the "pre-order" campaign and get Oxium for 69€ instead of 99€ until August 15th, 2012.

Oxium is a performance oriented synthesizer, offering both a classic pure analog sound and modern tones, with real time modulations capabilities, allowing you to play a synthesizer in ways you could never have imagined.

Due to its simple and intuitive user interface Oxium is fast and easy to operate:

• Classic instruments : Use up to 8 Xils-lab thick and musical oscillator waveforms per patch and shape them with the double filter structure. The main unit uses Xils-lab 3rd generation zero-delay feedback filter with self-oscillation in each mode while the second offers a vocal formant mode in addition to high-pass, band-pass and low-pass modes.
• Modern instruments : In addition to the cumulative waveforms LFO there are three D-ADSR envelopes, Oxium includes our brand new Le Masque modulator in its new incarnation with many additional features : It has now 16 freely drawable zones, horizontal and vertical quantize modes, two level parameters and, of course, you can save, load and exchange your patterns.
• Intuitive User Interface : Oxium interface is based on a new "Flower" design and IVF (Instant Visual Feedback) concept. "Flower" design for the oscillators, filter, LFOs and glide blocks means that you can understand the structure of a whole block after a simple glance (IVF), making Oxium fun, fast and easy to understand and to master. In addition, all the modulations are all handled in a central page, with additional easy knobs, including usual musical gestures per patch: It has never been so easy to add a Vibrato, a Tremolo or an Auto-Wah to your sound.
• Serial only protected: Oxium is protected by a simple serial, without the need of any hardware dongle or challenge response.
• Two skins to fit with your mood.
