XILS Lab Announce XILS V+

Just received an email from them announcing this new product (and a competition if you want to enter!)




The XILS V+ combines a Vintage 10 band Vocoder, Supreme Top Octave Divider based Strings and Human Voices, or any sophisticated layering of these three elements.
When the XILS V+ is released, in less than two weeks, everyone will be able to invoke the Top Octave Divider oscillator (T.O.D ) and its unique sound, The Ensemble circuitry (Chorus) featuring a compender and no less than 4 Bucket Brigade Delays, The Voice and Vocoder Vibratos (also based on two other BBD), the 14 filters involved in the Human voices, the 3 filters used for the Strings, the 40 Vocoder filters and the sophisticated Attack, Release and Glide circuitry.
T.O.D : The Top Octave Divider Oscillator provides a unique sound that no samples, or other simple synthesis techniques can reproduce. Emulating the T.O.D, without any aliasing on the whole frequency range, with its pitch and waveform modulation, was a real challenge, worthy of XILS-lab. We are very proud of this effort and offer it to you for your inspiration and enjoyment.
XILS-lab touch : The XILS V+ would not however be a real XILS-lab instrument if we did not add a lot of functions and possibilities that were not present in the original machine, some giving access to its internal circuitry and parameters. And some being totally new. 
"T.O.D and Beyond", following the Analog and Beyond tradition XILS-lab initiated a long time ago.
The XILS V+ will be available in the following formats : Effect AND instrument, VST2.4, VST3, AU, AAX ( All versions 32 and 64 bits ), Mac and Windows.
Release date :  May 25th, 2013
Preorder the V+ is possible : You can Preorder the XILS V+ for a discounted price of  89€ ($115), from May 17th until May 25th.
Launch offer : from May 25th until June 30th, the XILS V+ will be  99€ ($129) .
MSRP price : After June 30th, the XILS V+ will be listed at 149€ ($194)
Important Note : Please note that the XILS V+ is protected by a dongle : You’ll need an iLok 1 or 2 , or USB-eLicenser to play it.
The demo version, available from May 25th, doesn't however require a dongle.

    For a moment I thought It was going to be the "exciting" update to the XILS3 they hinted at earlier. I am waiting to see what they come up with there.

    The competition demos show it sounds very much like the original (Roland VP-330 ?), however on the strength of the demos provided I remain to be convince that that is a good thing. My only experience with the VP-330 is via Hollow Sun's Kontakt instrument, being sample based these are just the strings and choir sounds without the vocoder functions of course.

    As some of their recent products have been dongle free I am disappointed to see this needs either a iLok or eLicencer. Mind you, at least they have and option and the eLicencer is only 12 Euros, so its considerably cheaper than the iLock option.
