Xenos is a virtual instrument plug-in that implements and extends the Dynamic Stochastic Synthesis (DSS) algorithm invented by Iannis Xenakis. Programmed in C++ with the JUCE framework, Xenos is open-source, cross-platform, and can be built in a number of plug-in formats.

Key features include:

Authentic DSS engine
Xenharmonic pitch quantizer
Custom scale import in the Scala format
Ten stochastic distributions with up to two parameters each
First- and second-order random walks
Variable number of segments per wave cycle
Variable amplitude envelope
Polyphonic (64 voices by default)
MIDI implementation (notes, sustain, pitch bend)
External MIDI controller assignment
Parameter automation
Simple and streamlined interface
Free and open source

Xenos 1.0.1
Initial Linux release
Increase default polyphony to 128 voices
New voices begin with the current pitch bend value
Properly clear inactive voices
Fix bug affecting pitch at sampling rates other than 44.1 kHz

Pre-Built Binaries
Download the latest Xenos release for your platform from GitHub
Extract the plug-in binary, i.e., Xenos.component or Xenos.vst3, and move it to the proper location according to your platform, host software, and plug-in format
e.g., /Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components (MacOS)
e.g., C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 (Windows)
e.g., ~/.vst3 (Linux)
Open a suitable plug-in host application and add Xenos on a software instrument track
