XILS-lab MemoryTone

Classic Analog Power. Modern Synthesizer Freedom.

Experience the rich, powerful character of classic polyphonic analog synthesis with XILS-lab MemoryTone, a sophisticated software synthesizer inspired by the legendary Memorymoog. Designed to capture the depth, warmth, and presence of a true analog instrument, MemoryTone combines carefully modeled oscillator interactions, a distinctive ladder filter, and expressive modulation with the flexibility of a modern virtual synthesizer.

From massive basslines and bold synth leads to lush chords, vintage-style brass, evolving pads, and atmospheric textures, MemoryTone delivers a distinctive sound that brings weight, movement, and personality to your productions.

A Powerful Analog-Inspired Sound Engine

At the heart of MemoryTone is a carefully modeled synthesis architecture designed to recreate the behavior and interaction of classic analog circuitry. Its three oscillators per voice provide a rich harmonic foundation, while subtle voice variations and level-dependent saturation help create a lively, organic sound.

• 16-Voice Polyphony: Create rich chords, layered textures, and expressive polyphonic performances, with up to 18 oscillators sounding together in Unison mode.
• Three Oscillators Per Voice: Combine pulse, sawtooth, and triangle waveforms to build everything from smooth tones to harmonically complex synth sounds.
• Oscillator Sync & Detuning: Add bite, movement, and harmonic complexity to leads, basses, and other sounds.
• Analog-Style Mixer Saturation: Drive oscillator levels to introduce additional harmonics and a thicker tonal character.
• 24 dB Ladder Filter: Shape your sound with a resonant, self-oscillating filter designed to deliver the unmistakable character of classic analog synthesis.
• Analog Drift & Voice Variation: Add subtle movement and variation that help sounds feel less static and more organic.

Deep Modulation & Expressive Control

MemoryTone is built for musicians who want more than static presets. Its flexible modulation architecture allows you to animate sounds, shape their dynamics, and create evolving textures that respond to your playing.

• Dual ADSR Envelopes: Control amplitude and filter movement for everything from sharp, punchy sounds to slowly evolving pads.
• Flexible LFO: Introduce cyclic modulation, rhythmic movement, and expressive tonal variation.
• Six Modulation Slots: Assign modulation sources to compatible destinations for detailed sound shaping.
• Velocity & Aftertouch: Make your sounds respond dynamically to your performance.
• MPE Support: Explore multidimensional expression with compatible MIDI controllers.
• Unison & Glide: Create thick, powerful leads and smooth pitch transitions.

Advanced Arpeggiator & Sequencing

Turn simple notes and chords into evolving musical ideas with MemoryTone's advanced arpeggiator and programmable sequencing capabilities. Generate rhythmic patterns, animated melodic phrases, and moving synth lines that add energy and variation to your arrangements.

Whether you're building a repeating bass pattern, creating an atmospheric sequence, or adding movement to sustained chords, the arpeggiator offers an intuitive way to explore new musical directions.

Integrated Effects with Flexible Routing

Shape your sound directly inside MemoryTone with a versatile collection of built-in effects. Add width, depth, motion, and tonal character without relying entirely on external processing.

• Chorus: Add stereo width and rich modulation.
• Phaser: Introduce sweeping movement and distinctive tonal color.
• Delay: Create rhythmic echoes and additional depth.
• Reverb: Place sounds in spacious, atmospheric environments.
• EQ: Refine the tonal balance of your sounds.
• Three-Band Resonator: Explore resonant textures and more experimental sound design.

Flexible effect routing gives you greater control over how the different processors contribute to your final sound.

An Extensive Preset Library

Get straight into making music with a comprehensive collection of factory sounds created to showcase both the classic character and modern possibilities of MemoryTone. Browse a variety of carefully designed presets, then customize them to fit your own productions.

The advanced preset manager helps you organize and discover sounds using filters such as bank, author, type, style, feeling, and project. A high-resolution, resizable interface also makes detailed editing comfortable across different screen sizes.
