IK Multimedia Syntronik DCO-X is a virtual synthesizer plug-in with a library that consists of authentic sounds from the Roland JX-10 Super JX, JX-8P, and JX-3P synthesizers, all manufactured from 1983 to 1989. Heard on records by Vangelis, Journey, The Cure, Lyle Mays, and more, JX synths feature two Digitally Controlled Oscillators (DCOs) per voice and a rich analog chorus. With oscillator detuning effect and cross-modulation effect—where one oscillator modulates the other—they are ideal for dark pads and brass sounds, as well as unusual FM metallic and percussive tones.
The library comes with 10,000 samples and 79 instruments, and is powered by the included Syntronik Free player. To recreate the unmistakable sound of analog oscillators, the software employs the company's DRIFT technology, which emulates the way real analog circuits behave over time. Syntronik Free player comes with true 4-part capability to layer rich sounds with multis and splits, four dynamic arpeggiators for complex rhythmic textures, and 38 high-quality effects derived from AmpliTube and T-RackS.
Syntronik DCO-X is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, and works in VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX formats running at 64-bit.
