It’s a String Machine, It’s a Synthesizer, It’s a Bass Synth. And the XILS-Lab X-505 can be the three of them simultaneously, which is why the original unit was advertised as “The Analog Orchestra.”
XILS Lab have also added: A Vintage Analog Human Choir Machine (as an alternative oscillator source for the Synthesiser part) and exposed numerous hidden parameters of the vintage String Machine model.
The X-505 offers all the layering and tweaking possibilities of its glorious ancestor, including its precious balance between the Strings registers, and precise balance for all the inputs of the quadruple BBD Chorus unit. Also, a lot of hidden parameters are now exposed and available to tweak in the different X-505 panels for a much wider sound palette. A juicy sounding analogue Phaser and the vintage reverb have also been added to the pile.
