KXPM23: The Taste of Vintage Synthesis in Your DAW
Welcome to the world of warm analog sound! If you are looking for depth, character and the unique charm of classic synthesizers of past eras, but appreciate the convenience of a digital format, then KXPM23 from KX77FREE is exactly what you need. This VST instrument is a real gift for synthesis enthusiasts, offering a rich palette of sounds based on vintage analog subtractive synthesis.
The development of KXPM23 dates back to 2002, which testifies to the author’s deep dive into the architecture and sound of classic instruments. The plugin uses developments and modules from the original Kxmod and Kx-Modulad systems, which gives it a unique sound and functionality that distinguishes it among many modern virtual synthesizers.
Key Features of KXPM23:
- Vintage Analog Synthesis: Feel the warmth and richness of classic analog oscillators and signal paths.
- Legendary Moog Filter: The sound character of KXPM23 is based on the emulation of the famous Moog filter, known for its fatness, resonance and ability to give the sound a unique “soul”. This filter allows you to shape both soft and enveloping, as well as aggressive and piercing timbres.
- Built-in Effects: The plugin is equipped with an effects section, which includes two sequential delays and distortion – the same modules that were used in Kx-Modulad. This allows you to add space, movement and raw analog saturation right within the instrument, forming a complete sound.
- Full Dynamics and Tone Control: Thanks to the classic ADSR envelopes, you have full control over the attack, decay, sustain and release of the sound, allowing you to create both percussive and smooth ambient textures. The implementation of KxStep EQ provides additional options for precise correction of the tonal balance of your sounds.
- Unexpected Versatility – SoundFont Player: One of the unique features of KXPM23 is the integrated SoundFont player. This expands the plugin’s sound palette far beyond the traditional subtractive synthesis, allowing you to mix synthesized sounds with samples, opening the door to experiments and creating completely new, hybrid timbres.
Sound Potential and Presets
KXPM23 is ideal for creating a wide range of sounds characteristic of vintage electronics, synth-pop, techno, ambient, hip-hop and other genres. From deep and powerful bass lines that shake the space, to piercing leads, atmospheric pads and experimental sound textures – this synthesizer is capable of a lot.
So that you can immediately immerse yourself in creativity, KXPM23 comes with a new library containing over 70 ready-made presets. These presets demonstrate the capabilities of the plugin and serve as an excellent starting point for your own sound experiments. You can use them as they are, or modify them, creating unique timbres that match your musical vision.
Who Is This Plugin For?
KXPM23 will be interesting for both experienced sound designers looking for a character instrument to create unique timbres, and for novice musicians who want to join the world of synthesis without unnecessary difficulties, while getting a rich and high-quality sound. Its intuitive interface (even considering its vintage origin) allows you to quickly master the basic principles of operation and start creating.
