SYNTOVOX 221 VOCODER

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this auction

"Vocoder built by the dutch high end synthesizer company Synton. Distributed in the USA by [Bob] Moog's Big Brair company.

This is the flagship vocoder from Synton, and is among the best vocoders of all time. It shares company with the EMS 5000 and the Sennheiser VSM-201 vocoder.

It's really rare, only 20 pieces was made.

One of the ultimate best vocoders in the universe, if not THE best. This is what Wendy Carlos said (on the web )- 'Question #4 -- What kind of vocoder do/did you prefer? Felix Visser made the best ones, for his long-gone (alas!) Synton company, all during the 80's. Some other fine devices exist, as the EMI/Synthi big one, and Sennheiser's expensive one, those and dear Harald Bode's design that Moog's good 16-band one was similar to. The ultra-basic analog units were generally mushy-sounding. Synton's had the best intelligibility on spoken words for their original 32-band device, .......' This is Felix's own machine, serial number 010, and was actually used extensively by Wendy Carlos - there's a typed note to her on the power supply saying it had been changed to 115V for her. It has now been changed back to 220V by Felix Visser. Unlike some models, it has a complete case. It will be sold fully working, and with a signed cerificate of provenance.

Synthovox 221 is a 20-channel vocoder system which has made its way to numerous recording studios, radio stations, composers and scientific institutions for its outstanding quality and its unexcelled intelligibility.

It includes 54 dB/octave filter, a feature not found in any other vocoder on the market. It also offers the versatility of a build-in pulse generator for direct speech sythesis and several control units for pitch modulation.

It features matrix patching for format shifting and a highly precise voiced/unvoiced detector system. And it offers extreme flexibility by the multiway connector which gives access to the analyzer and synthesizer sections and the control terminals of the voiced/unvoiced detector.

The Intelligible Machine has set standards in vocoder techniques.

High end model, attenuator per channel.

Only about 20 of these were made. Users include Wendy Carlos (who owns a 221 & SPX 216), various electronic studio's in Europe. Best suited for studio use due to complex control.

The 221 has a 50-pin connector on the back which provides CV in and out for each channel, and other functions as described above."

"Includes all optional extras:
Rack ears - We’ve had brackets made that allow you to screw your Fenix IV into your 19” studio rack. Solid steel with the same powder coating as the case

Bamboo stand - A beautiful way to stand up the Fenix facing you. Made out of the same bamboo as the sides. Comes apart and folds away flat to come with you everywhere. Made by Gould Cases who also made our sides.

Banana box - A little adapter between the old and the new Fenixes. With this you can patch 8 bananajacks (plus one extra for ground) to convert into 8 minijacks. Bamboo box with our familiar colourful anodized aluminium front.

Even more patch cables - Your Fenix IV already comes with a bag of 43 patch cables in various lengths and various plug colours that match the Fenix IV colour scheme for different signals. If you think 43 cables will not be enough for you, you can order an extra set."

TINRS Synton Fenix IV Modular Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"The unit sounds amazing and has extraordinary capabilities to match. There are some small cosmetic blemishes above the low pass gate, filter, and noise module sections (can't always be seen except in certain light) as well as the barrel edge of the headphone jack, so I took extra close ups of these areas for your inspection. These are cosmetic only, functionality is 100%! The unit comes with the optional bamboo stands, double count pack of TiNRS custom cables, soft carry case, pin, cable ties, power supply, manual, and 19" rack rails.

A couple features that stood out to me on this unit, besides its pleasing warm sound, are the digital system behind the scenes that allow for highly programmable midi to CV conversion for associated jacks as well as system synchronized triggering, at divisions or multiplications of the system clock, including customizable time signatures for easy made polyrhythms. Also, behind the scenes, there are 3 separate quantizers - one for the digital osc, one for digital filter, and one for the sequencer. And they're as easy to use as just selecting which keys in an octave you want enabled individually for each one. This really allows one to use its extensive modulation capabilities to affect those modules in ways the user can shape to be very melodically pleasing, if desired. And speaking of modulation, the wobbler lfo has many exotic shapes and behaviors, and offers two outputs of itself, one of which has cv controllable phase shift from the other. And finally, the triple lfo was also a favorite due to having two phase cv able copies of itself for shifting synced modulations."

"Afternoon session with Fenix II & III, Ace Tone Rhythm Ace FR-6, Waldorf Q.
To make it sound better I'd need to spend way more time on this patch, at least to mix the different voices properly, make a decent beat, play some notes by hand and so on, but I can't because of my health, so I'm posting this here and now."

video upload by batchas

"I like the sound on the phaser on the Fenix II. On the monitors it did sound bombastic, really impressive with some feedback.
New ideas came to mind related to this patch while watching the result on this video, so I'll see once in the studio if I decide to go further with it or not. It will also depend if the Fenix is still in tune. I spent one hour only with tuning and (re)calibration of the quantizers."

"Second part
It's actually the same patch, but the sequencer clock is slower. As usual it's recorded directly in one take to a stereo track.

The beat comes from a Vermona DRM1, triggered by the Fenix III.
At 8:04 I'm fading in again the original sample, not knowing here it's gonna start. I actually also don't know where it's gonna stop cause I never listened to all of it until today! I stop it at 10:21 quite abruptly because I have no idea how long the samples go."

video upload by HAINBACH



Priced at 4999€ via Patch Point

"Patch Point is producing 100 Fénix II PP analog modular synthesizers in small batches.

The first batch is 30, and there are 14 left available.

The Fénix II PP is a direct descendant of the Fénix II in collaboration with the designer, Mr. Bert Vermuelen of the original Synton design team.

It is a fully analog synthesizer, with the same components as the original Fénix II, with some upgrades.

VCF3 - Formant Filter - a new modern design using chips instead of vactrols which allows for voltage controlled resonance and an expanded frequency range.

VCF4 - LPG - a new modern design using chips instead of vactrols which allows for an expanded frequency range, and quicker response, and more accurate control of the length parameter.

Delay - The Delay is now a dual delay with a 3rd switch position. delay 1, delay 2, or in the middle both delays mixed! with the additional jack of a second frequency parameter for the 2nd delay. You can now CV control both delays pitches with a separate jack.

3 VCO’s, 3 different VCO's ( Inputs CV, FM, PWM, Sync e.o, Output square, triagle, sawtooth and some has puls, sub, sine e.o) )

4 different VCF´s ( SVF, 24dB Lp, BPF, 12dB Lp). ( Input CV modulation, SVF has Q-CV control

3 EGR and 4 VCA’s and 5 LFO’s. (Many modules are voltage controlled)

7 Mixers ( 3 audio mixers and 4 DC-Audio mixers).

1 Phaser and 1 Delay (BDD). ( off course voltage controlled)

1 8 step analog sequencer with own clock.

1 Waveshapers, 1 wavemultiplier and 1 full wave rectifier. ( voltage controlled, except for the rectifier )

1 CPR, 1 S&H, 1 Gate delay, 1 Ringmodulator, 1 Slew limiter, 1 fixed +/- 5volt output.

1 Analog noise and 1 Digital noise. ( Digital noise voltage controlled

1 6 Banana to 3,5 mm minijack connectors.

1 Input module with trigger, gate and envelop out.

1 Stereo output module with dual panning and dual VCA. ( off course voltage controlled)"

"The track is based on Synton Fenix II & III, plus modded Vermona ER-9, recorded to a stereo track in one take.
I'm also using my Buchla system to assist the Synton Fenix II & III patch for the digital delay coming from my Scrotum Lab 'Espace Temps', the sample played by my Kesako 'Player & Reverb' module and the noise from 266e 5sent to Fenix phaser with a lot of feedback)."
