Murmux Semi-Modular Synthesizer Review

2nd video below.

"Review of the Murmux Semi-Modular Synthesizer manufactured in Greece by Dreadbox Pedals and Synths (http://www.dreadbox-fx.com/)

I try to cover the basics of the synth, including the different sections and features, giving some sound examples as I tweak and explain the different controls and parameters. What I don't cover is patching with the different CV/Gates inputs and outputs at the top of synth's panel (what makes it semi-modular).

Check out Henrik Lendal's video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTnBS... for good look at getting creative with the semi-modular with some patch cables.

Positives?
- The synth sounds great and is a blast to mess around with
- Looks as great as it sounds
- Great sounding filter
- A slightly different approach on some features (the 4-stage mod for example)
- Sturdy construction with solid knobs!

Negatives (and only very slight ones)
- Playing legato with a MIDI controller does not retrigger the filter envelope, but playing with a CV/gate input DOES retrigger the filter envelope playing legato or staccato
- Filter has a slight spike on the key-up with certain settings

All in all, I LOVE it...addictive as hell to play around with and in some ways cooler than my Moog Voyager...

Cheers!"

"Song recorded in Propellerhead Reason, using only the Murmux Semi-Modular analog synth for all the melodic sounds. Drums and effects all came from assorted Reason modules."

Murmux Synthesizers at NAMM 2014

Published on Feb 2, 2014 Noise Room·31 videos

"John Diakoumakos, the Effectologist from Murmux Synthesizers showed us their new line of synths at NAMM 2014. Based in Athens, Greece, they started out making effect pedals under the Freaqbox name because they couldn't reach expectations of analog sound within an affordable price range. In this video you'll get a good look at their Murmux Pedalsynth which is a completely handmade full analog vintage monophonic synthesizer with fat bass sounds.

Below are three NAMM pics in via Russ. "Some photos of Freaqbox's two prototype desktop synths and their pedal synth. I got a chance to talk to the two gentlemen behind Freaqbox and play the synths. Good stuff. The pedal synth is not a dedicated bass synth, but rather a foot synth for freeing up your hands to play another instrument."
