XILS PolyKB III

The PolyKB III captures the essence of the iconic RSF PolyKobol 2, a polyphonic synthesizer renowned for its groundbreaking morphing analog oscillators. Unlike traditional synths that switch between oscillator sets, PolyKB III gives you instant access to hundreds of continuously morphing, analog-modeled waveforms that can be dynamically modulated by a wide range of sources, making it one of the most flexible and creative synths available.

In addition to its revolutionary oscillators, PolyKB III includes two rich and creamy multi-mode filters, capable of self-resonating in all modes. XILS-lab’s proprietary ‘0df’ technology ensures authentic analog warmth, while three looping, analog-modeled ADSR envelopes provide precise control over the dynamic shaping of your sounds. Two complex MIDI-syncable LFOs, along with a Sample and Hold, further expand the modulation possibilities, making PolyKB III a sound designer’s dream.

The innovation doesn’t stop there—each voice in PolyKB III has its own independent modulation engine. The Voice XY modulator allows you to create subtle or wild variations for each note, giving each voice a unique, dynamic character. Meanwhile, the Space XY module lets you place and move notes within a 3D stereo field, adding a sense of space and movement to your sounds that no other effect can replicate. Combined with the True Unison engine, PolyKB III produces incredibly dense, lush sounds that stand out in any mix.

The PolyKB III also features a powerful 128-step Polysequencer, capable of acting as a step sequencer, Trance Gate, or modulation source. You can sculpt rhythmic patterns, slides, or any modulation you desire, providing endless creative potential. With a range of playing modes, vintage effects, and full MIDI control, PolyKB III is the ultimate fusion of analog authenticity and modern technology.
