Interesting Facts

  • Considered a precursor to the famous Yamaha DX7, Its influence continues to be felt in the electronic music landscape, with its legacy living on through the evolution of FM synthesis and its impact on subsequent generations of synthesizers.

  • Notable artists like Stevie Wonder and Vangelis were early adopters of the original unit, incorporating its distinctive tones into their music.

FEATURES

Two layers, Four effects, Easy to tweak

  • The layers can be played Single, Double or Split

  • Two independent Arpeggiators, Playing mode or Unison

  • Easy access to Vibrato or Tremolo

  • Four deep and warm effects with independent routing
All main parameters at a glance

  • One Advanced Panel for tweaking the various modules

  • FM Algorithm Matrix, always available when needed

  • Contextual help windows

  • Global view with active modules illuminated
FM Synthesis

  • On each of the two available layers you will find

  • 8 operators

  • 2 outputs

  • The 8 operators are grouped in 2 banks with independent pitch. This typical architecture is useful for creating chorus like FM sounds or punchy stereo presets.
Each operator features:

  • One LFO

  • One envelope

  • Wheel and After touch access

  • Two user define external modulators (to be assign to any KaoX modulation sources)

  • Keyboard follower 2D pad

  • Ratio or absolute frequency

  • Low pass filter
Analog Synthesis

  • On each of the two available layers you will find

  • 2 continuous waveform analog oscillators

  • 2 zero-delay like analog filters

  • 4 envelopes D-ADSR

  • 4 outputs VCA

  • For a Deep, Warm and living sound.
The Organic Life of the Chaotic Algorithms

  • 2 chaotic oscillators and 2 chaotic modulators

  • Create sounds that you had never thought possible.
4 tracks sequencer

  • Each track can be assigned to the lower and/or upper layer

  • Each track can have independent sustain/gating

  • Each track can be used as a source of modulation

HIGHLIGHTS

The Versatility and the brilliance of the FM Synthesis

With 8 operators, 2 outputs, 2 banks with independent pitch, and improved FM algorithms, XILS-lab has elevated the FM synthesis to a new level.

The results are a clear, brilliant and deep sound with a vibe that cannot be replicated by any other available Analog or Chaotic oscillator based products.

The Power and Warmth of the Analog Synthesis: 2 continuous waveform oscillators and 2 zero-delay filters

Drawing on the vast experience of XILS-lab, KaoX has a deep, warm and living sound. Two chaotic oscillators and two chaotic modulators make creating sounds that you had never even dreamt of, effortless.
