Description
Oxium is a performance oriented synthesizer, offering both a classic pure analog sound and modern tones. with awesome 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 wave forms per patch and shapes them with the double filter structure. The main unit uses Xilslab 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 chalenge response.
Two skins to fit with your mood.
Features
Core Modules
* 2 Cumulative analog modelled Oscillators ( up to 8 per patch ). PWM for all waveforms ( free running with indistinguishable aliasing Saw, Triangle, Pulse and Square ) .
* Advanced Glide/Portamento mode per Oscillator/ Hard Sync and Ring modulation between Oscillators.
* 3rd Generation Zero-Delay-Feedback filters, self resonnance for all modes ( LP 24/12, BP6/12, HP) Additional second filter to choose between Formant Filter, LP , BP, HP with emphasis or articulation parameter.
* Flexible Double Mixer architecture ( one per filter ) with fully configurable serial or parralel modes
Modulators
* 3 freely assignable DsyncADSR envelopes.
* 3 Multiwaveforms LFOs with Mono/Poly mode, Midi Syncable, Delay, Fade in, and note retrig parameters
* Exclusive 2nd generation Le Masque controller modulator, with 16 freely drawable zones ( masks). Each mask has two level parameters, can trigg envelopes, or be envelope controled, the grid has vertical and horizontal snap modes. Patterns can be saved, loaded. 3 Trigger modes.
* Central Modulation Environment : 6 freely assignable pairs of source/target parameters, 3 additional prewired pairs for common musical gestures ( Vibrato, Tremoloe, Autowha ), 6 harwired slots for real time controlers ( Mod Wheel, Pitch Bend, Aftertouch, Breath Controler. All parameters are Midi Controlable.
Music Playing
* Advanced PolyMono Arpegiattor, with fully configurable note order, Gate and swing parameters
* 8 Play Modes ( 5 Poly/3 Mono) allowing multiple keyboard playing techniques
* Deep integration and interaction between Play modes, Arpegiattor modes, modulations and per voice core sound engine for organic and expressive instruments.
* Up to 8 voices Unisson with Tune spraed parameter, Oscillator drift and Output Vintage parameters to model several aspects of analog hardware synthesiser, unique Modulation randomiser : Use these 4 parameters to customise big as life patches
Effects
* New Stereo Delay with CrossFeedback and Damp feedback , exclusive BBD Vintage chorus, Phaser, and Double EQ with emphasis
* Instant Visual Feedback User Iinterface Concept based on exclusive Flower Design of Oscillators , LFOs, Filters and Glide blocks for Instant Visual Feedback of synthesizer modules.
* Exclusive Intelligent Feedback Pane : You’ll find here all the informations usefull to understand, then modify or adapt a preset to context.
* Database : Double Criteria Search Engine : Find the right patch for your track in seconds, build your own favorites soundbanks, project, CD or Live soundbanks, and export them with a single click. Cross platform preset format.
* A/B compare slots
* Two skins to fit your mood
