Celebrated as 'The Analog Orchestra,' this instrument delivers rich, analog tones with up to 49 notes of polyphony, allowing for complex layering and sound design. It features a unique Vintage Analog Human Choir Machine as an alternative oscillator source, expanding the sonic possibilities beyond typical string and bass sounds.

The combination of a monophonic filter engine with Top Octave Divider oscillators enables the creation of sounds that stand apart from conventional synthesizers.

The X-505 includes a comprehensive modulation matrix, multiple LFOs, and envelope controls for precise shaping of each section, including strings, synth, voice, and bass. The advanced polyphonic arpeggiator and glide features add expressive performance options, while MIDI control integration ensures seamless use within modern DAW setups.
