XILS Lab PolyKB

soundonsound.com

While the XILS-Lab PolyKB I offers an intriguing emulation of the elusive RSF Polykobol II, it stumbles with numerous bugs and an unfinished user interface. Its oscillators and filters deliver rich, alias-free soundscapes, showcasing versatility and innovative features that excite. However, frustrating design choices—like the unintuitive sequencer and a cluttered GUI—detract from the experience. In essence, this synth has potential but requires significant polish before it can be truly recommended.

Sonic LAB: Xils Lab PolyKB Software Polysynth

sonicstate.com

The XILS-Lab PolyKB I emerges as a compelling software synth, capturing the essence of a rare classic with its rich, beautifully modulated sounds and intuitive architecture. While the tonal palette is impressive—offering lush pads and deep basses—the user interface can be a tad daunting, particularly the polyphonic sequencer and LFO settings. The necessity for iLok or eLicense may deter some, and the lack of a standalone version could limit its appeal. Yet, its gorgeous sound and musical filters make it a worthy addition for those seeking a quirky polysynth experience. Overall, the PolyKB I delivers a blend of nostalgia and innovation that seasoned synthesists will appreciate.
