XILS Labs Oxium Virtual Synthesizer Software Plug-In, Electronic Download

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:

• Three skins to fit with your mood

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 XILS Labs 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.

Oxium 1.5 is a major update in Oxium's young life
It brings new features, ergonomy enhancements, a slight revamp of the GUI and some new presets of course. Furthermore depending on the Group Buy results it will even come with a new ICE kin.

New features

Modulation Targets
More than 10 new modulation targets have been implemented. Both Mixers Global Levels, as well as the Level of all the Oscillators and Noise sources in each Mixer have been added. Stunning filters morphings, envelope or LFO controlled specific components of the sound blended in the most flexible way, superb evolving textures and sounds are just a few examples of what is now possible.

Masks Envelopes
The Masks have their own simple envelopes and the segments of these envelopes have been added as modulation targets as well. As XILS Labs have not already seen the end of what the Masks are capable of, so these new possibilities open the way to endless spaces of creativity and passion. You can really make some crazy parts or never heard sequences when modulating these parameters in real time with the mod wheel or other HW controlers for example.

All in all, you now get 59 modulation targets you can use in the Modulation Matrix Page and in the Musical Gestures Modulation page, making Oxium one of the most powerfull Virtual Analog Synthesizers for Sound Design.

New Masks Handling Functions
You can now perform MultiSelection and MultiEdition of the Masks, as well as any complex selections of continuous or discontinuous Masks to edit them simultaneously. XILS Labs have also added three Easy Toggles Buttons to perform selections: Select ALL, Select ODD, Select EVEN.

Improved Masks Locator handling
In addition, XILS Labs have enhanced the behavior of the Mask Locators. They will now gradually change their color when you approach them, making them easy to grab when you want to edit the length of a selection and nullifying the risk of moving the mask(s), when actually you just wanted to edit the length. With these new Masks functions, it's now very easy and fast for example to adapt the masks to a complex groove, sophisticated syncopated material, unquantised drumgrooves or to "gate" or Extend a selection of Mask(s) . Masks can emulate in a perfect way old stepsequencers or trance gate units. They add total freedom and flexibility as a gift.

Ergonomy and GUI
Oxium GUI has been slightly modified

• The Filter Block has been redesigned and is now easy to locate and identify, with two new labels for the Main and secondary filters and its unification as a "block" on the UI.
• LFO 2 has now the same disposition than its two brothers ( it was inversed )
• The Glide/Protamento Block has better Mouse hadling ( Could be hasardous sometimes )
• The Toggle Button of the "Keyboard/FX/Info Zone" is now located on the right of this zone, allowing space for future developments and a clearer view of the modules surroundint it.

A 3rd ICE skin completes the existing Orange and Rusty skins (Depends on the results of the Group Buy ) XILS Labs think a lot of people will love this one.

New Presets
More than 50 new presets have been added to the Factory Library and most of them use the new features of Oxium 1.5. A new Sound Designer, Green Echoes, has joined XILS Labs team.

AAX compatible
Oxium 1.5 is already AAX compatible, ready for PT10 and PT11.

Note:

Oxium 1.5 update is free for every owner of Oxium.
