You can display either both of the synthesizers, or one of them beside the sequencer/modules panel by
clicking on the left or right arrows:
The left arrow allows switching between the left and the right synthesizer. The right arrow allows closing
the sequencer/modules panel.
This workflow allows:
•
Playing with two synthesizers, when no sequencer/modules are used.
•
Playing with one synthesizer and the sequencer, when a simple patch is needed.
•
Playing with the two synthesizers, modules and sequencer, when complex patches are needed.
8 XILS 4 common GUI description:
As you have seen, your
XILS 4
is based on one or two main synthesizers, and other possible modules.
The main synthesizer is a matrix-based modular machine, for which every connection has to be made.
There is NO default connection between modules, and even triggers must be taken into account. This is
why the
XILS 4
is so powerful, albeit having a learning curve worth the extra effort.
The main synthesizer has two matrixes, one 16x16 called the Main Matrix, and another 15x15 called the
Extended Matrix. You can display either or both of the Main and Extend matrices, by clicking on the
corresponding tab.
In the Sequencer/Modules panel, you can switch between several tabs to display various functions:
Env/LFO, Inputs, Effects, Sequencer, and Sequencer connections.
