KX77FREE KX-SYNTH-X16-V2

KX77FREE has released KX-Synth-X16-V2, a vintage modular polyphonic synthesizer based on the VCS3 structure.

One of the new features of the 2.0 version is the polyphony with a total respect of the original feeling of this synthesizer. A new KXMOD system is implemented to create fat vintage leads or nice polyphonic instruments. A CV and gate sequencer has been added to create real vintage sequences.
