Drifting away and blissing out with Spotykach

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"This year at Superbooth, one of the tents that I returned to multiple times was the Synthux Academy tent, mostly to snatch another few minutes with, what is arguably their current flagship product: Spotykach.

Spotykach is one of those wonderful bits of gear that sits in the intersection of effect and instrument, and its focus is around exploring looping in all its forms - emulating tape techniques as well as various eras of digital looping and sampling. It feels to me like a companion to the music making process. It’s surprising without being unpredictable, new ideas are readily born out of whatever input you provide - a perpetual stream of happy accidents.

It can also be approached in many different ways, but in this video as we explore its features, I’m going to focus on one particular way of using it - a more open, unsynchronized, exploratory approach, which is how I’ve been enjoying using it, but it also can be very rhythmic, controlled too - it has a full MIDI implementation and a lot of features around clock synchronization - but I am who I am and I am feeling a little ambient."

Gnarly, Destructive & Oddly Soothing: Exploring the Audrey II Feedback Synth

Synthux Spotykach Dual Looper and Teenage Engineering OP-1

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"I was talking with a friend about audio restoration few days ago, and I realized this is how I’ve always thought about it: you can only restore what was once beautiful. If beauty was never part of the original, there’s only so much you can recover.

I feel the same way about electronic music.

For me, electronics are not a substitute for emotion or imagination. They are an extension of them. They magnify what is already there: the resonance of a piano, the sound of hail falling on a balcony, the breath hidden inside a recording.

The real magic isn’t that electronics can create another reality.
It’s that they remind us this one is already full of extraordinary sounds—and that, with imagination, we can transform them into something even more beautiful.
Or at least in my case."

Frippertronics on Stereo-oids // Synthux Spotykach review and demo

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The r3ta of loopers!! Synthux Academy Spotykach is the most unique looper I've ever played. Think two tape machines that can loop, overdub, cross-record from one to the other, slow down, speed up — all with three distinct modes: tape/real mode, a time-based slice mode, and granular mode. Add LFOs, envelopes, a trigger sequencer, an onboard clock, MIDI I/O and you've got a sonic playground that'll swallow hours without you noticing.

In this review and hands-on demo I cover everything: the three playback modes, granular cloud control, tape speed pitch-bending, slice quantisation, stereo routing modes, deck-to-deck recording, LFO shapes (sine, saw, square, sample & hold), the trigger sequencer, loading/saving samples via SD card, and syncing it all to an external clock with the Symmontronic Gnome 2. I'm also running it alongside the Synthux Pro X and a DAW running 808s at 130 BPM — so you can hear exactly how it sits in a full setup.

At $949 it's not cheap, but if you're into ambient, experimental, or textural music, it's hard to think of anything else that does this.

The Spotykach supports:
✔ Three modes — Real (tape), Slice, Granular (Drift)
✔ Dual independent decks (A & B) with cross-deck recording
✔ Onboard clock with tap tempo (internal / external / MIDI)
✔ Trigger sequencer per channel
✔ Two LFOs (sine, sawtooth, square, sample & hold)
✔ Envelopes per channel
✔ Delay & distortion/grit effects
✔ Pitch quantisation (semitones, fifths, octaves, 1–2 octaves)
✔ Three stereo routing modes including stereo randomisation
✔ SD card sample load/save (48kHz 32-bit float, 42 sec max)
✔ MIDI in/out, USB power, headphone out
✔ Voltage per octave (V/oct) input
✔ Pickup mode (no parameter jumps)
✔ Visual LED feedback for every parameter"

Audrey II Horrorscape Synth // First Encounter

video upload by Genshi Media Group

"::| WARNING! EXTREME FREQUENCIES AHEAD! USE CAUTION |::

A first encounter with the Audrey II Horrorscape Synthesizer from ‪@SynthuxAcademy‬
yes, there are many other videos of this extremely basic, yet very epic synth, but I got one for my horror/sci-fi film scoring work, and thought you all might like to hear how it sounds... if you haven't already. My next video with it will try to incorporate other instruments in a more film score style."
