There’s something charming about a classic 10-band vocoder that you just don’t find in most software versions, but the XILS-lab XILS V+ totally nails it. In addition to its distinctly vintage sound, Sweetwater musicians really dig the XILS V+’s advanced functions, such as its Supreme Top Octave Divider, which lets you layer synthetic strings or human voice sounds on top of your effect. What’s more, you don’t have to be sound purist to appreciate the quality and clarity you’ll get from XILS V+, which remains free from audible aliasing even at extreme settings. 

If you don’t immediately recognize the aesthetics of the XILS-lab XILS V+ graphic interface, that’s okay – there really aren’t a lot of Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus keyboards out there any more. A unique vocoder known almost as well for its warm strings and vocal sounds as its characteristic 10-band vocoder effect, the VP-330 serves as a great stepping off point for the XILS V+ plug-in, providing you with logical controls that allow you to create complex sounds, without tearing out your hair. At the same time, XILS V+ lets you go beyond the physical limitations of the original hardware, opening up exciting synthesis options that put classic sounds and effects in a whole new light.
