Manx releases XS-3 Polyphonic Synth VST plug-in for Windows

-
Manx

Manx has released the XS-3 VSTi polysynth for Windows; a replacement to their discontinued XS-2.

XS-3 offers a similar feature set to XS-2 but is intended to deliver a more authentic emulation of the analog sound produced by classic instruments such as the Korg Poly800, Siel DK80 and Suzuki SX500.

Features:

  • Three 6-stage envelope generators.
  • Two oscillators - each can output up to 4 waves.
  • MIDI learn.
  • Switchable monophonic or polyphonic filter modes.
  • Improved the GUI functionality.

Price: $19.00.

The sound is not bad at all, but the user interface is simply a pain in the *** It is relatively big, but what matters (labels etc.) is too small. Not to mention the operation as such sucks, I want to see each parameter value all the time, as is the case with conventional knobs and sliders.

I have to agree, I tried the Manx Bit-1 emulation and while the sound interested me, the GUI for their plugins are quite uninspiring and tricky to use.
