Hi

Here's an audio demo showcasing some of the new presets we included in XILS 3 V2.0 Factory library.

I'd recommend watching the YT video at full audio quality, and with a stereo system.

We made a video because you can see the name of the presets used and get a few infos about how things were done

Good to finally see this make it over to AAX. I always dreamed of owning a real EMS back in the day.
