I don't get this at all anymore with plugins or DAWs really? DAWs all copy each other, and we just get the same 10 old analogs regurgitated every few years.martiu wrote: Sun Dec 29, 2024 8:21 am why the secrecy, deleting videos and stuff, it is just some software synth

To us it's just some synth, but to them it probably represents years of work. It's easy to get carried away with the marketing details when you're that heavily invested.martiu wrote: Sun Dec 29, 2024 8:21 am why the secrecy, deleting videos and stuff, it is just some software synth

So it was a teaser after the 1st teaser ?hey212 wrote: Sun Dec 29, 2024 5:05 am Looks like Xils took the latest teaser down about 15 minutes after sharing it. The preview image must have been cached on KVR so it worked for a little while even after they'd taken the video down, so I grabbed a screenshot and attached it here. There was zero useful information in the video, just lots of 3D renderings and marketing babble, but you can see one major change obviously which seems pretty cool, they added a third layer.

In greek is more something like "ye"
Evangelos was his real name
That's been said. I don't know what to think about this new version.

Agreed, FabFilter does this best - 2 days from teaser video to downloadable product, which creates some buzz without being an annoying wait.martiu wrote: Sun Dec 29, 2024 11:14 am they are overthinking the strategy of putting it out in the wild

.. so when is this coming out? Not sure what is going on with XLIS Lab but to my ears they sound quite unique. I have the Poly KB3 and it's rather unique, though quite frustrating to use and a lot of "clunky" bullshit with the Ui. Still, I'm willing to suffer through some of that crap due to the unique sound/tonality it has.

Stay tuned to our upcoming newsletters for more information on our meticulously crafted reproduction of this iconic landmark in synthesizer history!
Less than two weeks to wait, but well worth it ...

From the video:
"The power of the originals lies in their self-sufficiency - their ability to captivate with just a single instance. They didn't need layers upon layers to impress..."
Hmm... the original was exactly a two layer instrument, so already the ability to layer was core to it's original concept.
Not only that, but it seems XILS thought it needed even more layers, because it looks like from the GUI that it has *three* layers, instead of two on the original (it has three rows of identical voice controls)...

Yeah, I thought that odd. Methinks AI may have been involved in making that video. Whether the copy, the visuals, or both.
