Manx XS-2

XS-2 software synthesizer

The XS-1 is a VST host compatible virtual instrument

Features:

Three 6-stage envelope generators
Two oscillators, each can output up to 4 waveforms similtaniously
The filter section is switchable between polyphonic & mono
Midi automation
With the XS-2, we’ve emulated DCO technology from the 1980's. Whilst this does feature very stable pitch, DCO's none the less exhibit many nuances in timbre according to pitch and several other influencing factors -all of this has been captured in the XS-2's design. In addition, this instrument can emulate all voices being run through a single filter (if you choose this option) - a cheap trick in the 1980's, but it can provide interesting and unique sounds. Add to this, separate six-stage envelopes to each oscillator plus an analog chorus which has been very carefully reproduced and what you get is the perfect complement to our flagship Super-Jay & Bit100 polysynths.
The XS-2 replaces our original XS-1 - it has more or less the same functionality but we've completly redesigned the internal audio generation algorythms to provide a top notch sound quality - rich, punchy, bright and very analog!

AUDIO DEMO

(External fx added)

System requirements:

XS-2 is a vsti instrument - it requires a vst compatible host, which runs under windows 32 bit.

You should download the demo version before buying, in order to check that he XS-1 works well with your system.

Download the Demo

The 'Demo' version of the XS-2 is well worth having even if you never intend to purchase the retail version. The demo version never expires and provides all the functionality of the retail XS-2. What you get is a one second gap in the audio output that occurs once every two minutes - more of a nuisance than anything else.

Whilst this may be a problem for live use, you can have a lot of fun with the XS-2 Demo in the studio and if you want to use it in a composition, just wait for the one second drop out to occur and start recording with two minutes of output at your disposal. Think of the XS-2 Demo as a gift!
