Synton Fenix


via this auction
"incredibly rare Synton Fenix modular synthesizer. I believe that 75 of these were made, prized by their owners and rarely found for sale. Designed by the (in)famous Synton team in Holland, this is easily one of the most flexible and comprehensive modular synthesizers ever designed. They kept this instrument interesting throughout - each oscillator, LFO, envelope and so forth are very different. The noise source is incredibly flexible, the ring modular isn't vanilla at all and there are plenty of thoughtful little tricks throughout which surface as you spend time with the machine.

The Encore Expressionist is, in my opinion, the nicest MIDI to CV converter around. It provides eight CV outputs and eight trigger/gate outputs. These outputs can be used for notes, bound to MIDI CCs, grouped up for polyphony, assigned to additional LFOs which the Expressionist provides via software, with a very, very easy to understand interface. The workflow of this device is very nice, it stays out of the way, and can be used to interface with all sorts of devices aside from the Fenix. It even understands S-Trig for Moog devices!"
