Description

XILS Vocoder 5000 – Organic sound of EMS 5000 analog Vocoder.

The XILS Vocoder 5000 is a powerful vocoder plugin that captures the rich, organic sound of classic analog vocoders. It goes beyond simple emulation, however, offering a user-friendly interface and a wealth of advanced features for deep sound design.

Classic Analog Sound, Modern Design

• The XILS Vocoder 5000 faithfully emulates the complex circuitry of its analog ancestors, delivering the same warmth, clarity, and precision.
• The user interface is well-organized, with a single main panel for basic controls and easy access to advanced parameters through dedicated panels.

Extensive Features for Deep Sound Design

• Matrix Patch Area: Create complex modulation routings with the flexible 22×22 or 20×20 matrix patch area. Save your favorite setups as presets for quick recall.
• Dual Synth Cores & Filters: Two independent synthesizer cores, each with dual oscillators, noise source, LFOs, VCA, and ADSR envelope, provide a rich sound base for your vocoder effects.
• Multiple Vocoder Filter Options: Choose from 22-band or 20-band filter banks for different sonic flavors.

  • More filter types and emphasis options
  • Additional slew rate and freeze modulation controls
  • Two LFOs per core (original had none)
  • Expanded FM, PWM, and oscillator waveforms
  • Improved input detection for sibilance control
  • Gate input for noise reduction
  • Stereo analysis and synthesis
• Sidechain Input: Integrate external audio sources as the vocoder carrier for even more creative possibilities.
