Analog String Machines
The deal
$59 at KVR Marketplace (down from $239), a 75% discount valid through August 28, 2026.
What it is
Analog String Machines bundles two vintage string machine emulations into a single license: the XILS V+ and the XILS 505. The XILS V+ pairs a 10-band vocoder with a top octave divider-based string synth and human voice modes, while the XILS 505 models a full analog orchestra with string, synthesizer, and bass sections. Both draw on circuit-accurate modeling of bucket brigade delays, ensemble chorus, and analog phaser effects to capture the warm, lush textures of 1970s hardware.
Who it's for
Producers and composers working in ambient, cinematic, or retro-flavored styles who want authentic analog string and choir textures. It fits anyone after that signature 1970s warmth in their arrangements without tracking down actual vintage hardware.
Key features
- Top Octave Divider oscillator engine with aliasing-free emulation for true vintage string tones
- Quadruple BBD chorus and ensemble unit that recreates the signature warmth of classic hardware string machines
- Built-in 10-band vocoder (XILS V+) for voice processing, robotic choir textures, and creative spectral effects
- Analog phaser, vintage reverb, and a full modulation matrix with MIDI CC control for deep sound design
