Performance synthesizer !

  • Oxium  is a performance oriented synthesizer, offering both a classic  pure analog sound and modern tones, with awesome real time modulation 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.

Interesting Facts

  • Classic instruments: Use up to 8 XILS-lab thick and musical oscillator waveforms per patch and shape them with the double filter structure. The main unit uses XILS-lab 3rd generation zero-delay feedback filters 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 waveform LFOs there are three D-ADSR envelopes, Oxium includes our brand new  Le Masque modulator in its new incarnation with many additional features: It now has 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: The Oxium interface is based on a new “Flower” design utilizing the IVF (Instant Visual Feedback) concept. The “Flower” design for the oscillators, filter, LFOs and glide blocks means that you can understand the structure of a whole block with just a simple glance (IVF), making Oxium fun, fast and easy to understand and master. In addition, all the modulations are all handled in a central page, with additional easy knobs, including common 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 number, without the need for any hardware dongle or challenge response.

  • Three skins are available to fit your mood.

Testimonials

XILS-lab’s performance-oriented synthesizer Oxium is both easy to use and at the same time powerful, boasting zero delay filters and some unique modulation features.

On appréciera en revanche le gros son sur certains programmes, le côté « analogique » d’autres. Ainsi que les présets « animés » avec Le Masque ou l’arpégiateur, très réussis.

XILS Lab Oxium absolutely deserves a look. It might not be unique, but the sounds it does well it does absolutely superbly.

Over the course of testing Oxium has actually become a bit of a favourite polysynth at OD, but for all my bleating about its power in creating these big sounds don’t underestimate its power for mono sounds – basses, leads and so on all have big potential. The short version of our Xils Lab Oxium Review: Recommended.

Another synth from Xils that I use is the Oxium featuring an organic sound where plenty of arp adventures can be shaped. Being a fan of Rotary speakers, I got the LX 122 and basically use it as an effect on various sounds. The best about having the good old sound poping up in your DAW, is that I can save presets, money and space

Oxium is a excellent Synthesizer. I like the different possibilities. He is a true synth. The sound is cool ahmm......warm and silky. Great work !

 I can gladly boat that I used poly kb II and oxium on Andreas Kleerups new album. If u don't remember whom. Robyn/heartbeat etc

Oscillators:

  • 4 available waveforms: Triangle, PWM Triangle, PWM Saw, Square, PWM Pulse.

  • Cross ring modulators

  • Several waveforms can be selected simultaneously for each of the oscillators.

  • Easy Pulse width modulation in a click.

  • Drift setting to add varying levels of unpredictability

Multimode Filter:

  • Oxium multimode filter providing self-oscillating 6 filter types: 12 dB and 24 dB low pass, 6 dB and 12 dB band pass, 12 dB high pass.

  • A special overdrive circuit that can be used before or after the filter.

  • This filter uses our proprietary “zero-delay algorithm”, providing a stunning analog feeling

12db Filter with Formant feature

  • Oxium provides a second filter, 12 dB low-pass, high-pass and band pass, or a new formant-like filter.

  • The vowel sound of this formant-like filter can be selected and also modulated.

  • A full parallel/serial audio flow and an easy to tweak mixer, allows this second filter to give a new dimension to the subtractive synthesis.

D-ADSR

  • 4 special envelopes are available

  • Added to the standard Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release, Oxium offers a MIDI synced Delay step.

  • Useful, for instance, to trig a tempo synced modulation, to open the filter a few milliseconds after the amplifier or giving some explosive effects. A wide range of new sounds can be done with this feature.

  • Two envelopes can loop between the end of the release and the beginning of the Attack.

TREMOLO, AUTOWHA, VIBRATO amount Knobs

  • These knobs set the amount of their corresponding modulation (Oscillator pitch for vibrato, VCA level for tremolo and cutoff frequency for auto-wah).

  • The internal knob set the rate of the corresponding LFO.

  • Standard Expression Controls: Two Destination menus are available giving you a huge choice of options.

Polyphonic LFO:

  • 3 Standard full of features LFOs are provided by Oxium.

  • Each LFO can modulate the oscillator pitch and width, the filter frequency and the amplifier level.   It also can be used as a source in the modulation matrix.

  • The frequency can be synced to the Host application tempo, the modulation can also be reset by the keyboard, or left free-running, and a fade-in function is also available.

  • These LFO can be polyphonic (each voice has its own LFOS) or monophonic (all the voices are using the same LFO).

Sequencer Modulator

  • Oxium provides a new, powerful, easy to use advanced sequencer modulator, brought from  the Le Masque:Delay XILS-lab effect, and adapted to the synthesizer specific modulations.

  • On the Grid you can perform the following tasks: create, delete and edit the different Masks, specify the length of the grid, quantize locators, swap between mask and non masked areas, and specify the background quantization of the Grid itself, horizontally or vertically.

  • Mask Envelopes:  The Masks have their own simple envelopes, and the segments of these envelopes have been added as modulation targets as well. We haven’t seen the end of what these Masks are capable of yet, so these new possibilities open the way to countless spaces of creativity and passion. You can really create some crazy parts or never before heard sequences when modulating these parameters in real time with the mod wheel or other HW controllers for example.

  • You can perform Multi-Selections and Multi-Editions of the Masks, as well as any complex selections of continuous or discontinuous Masks to edit them simultaneously.

  • We have also added three Easy Toggle Buttons to perform selections: Select ALL, Select ODD, Select EVEN.

Total Control:

  • You can assign any Midi CC to any synthesis parameter to fine tune some midi parts, or achieve the most precise automation.

  • Last but not least, Oxium provides a wide range of modulation options.
