XILS 4 Upgrade : 2x VCS3

The EMS Emulation XILS3 got an upgrade- and it is the first one to try things that a normal VCS3 / AKS can’t do . or to be honest – which may be possible but no one has this at home – a double VCS3 that has 12 OSCs 2 filters 4 envelope generators / with repeat – loop 5 LFOs (poly) 4 outputs some FX this is a nice FM monster .. so if you loved „The Klinik“ and those more classic early electronic guys like David Voorhaus.. the…
