DUDTING OFF // AnalogFX SER-2020 // Part 1 // No Talking

video upload by LESINDES

"Rebuilt of the ultra rare SYNTON SYRINX Dutch keyboard synth. I cannot compare but the unusual filter setting of 2 bandpass and 1 lowpass VCFs, with 4 different routings give a lot of modulation freedom and rendition of rather unusual sounds.

Since I am not a fan of black gear. I tried my best an contacted ANALOG FX. And they had been so kind as to manufacture a custom blue face synth which I have only seen in some preproductions units and, of course, in the historic SYRINX which was available also in red."

"Very very rare and in very nice visual condition. By one of the greatest manufacturers of synthesisers. Can be played via an interface cable ending in 3,5 jacks for CV/Gate etc. (included). I used my Roland 184 (not included) because the 3000 wants to see a healthy voltage. I went through the main functions (oscs, filters, adsrs) made a few patches and everything seems to work well. However a good number of the potentiometers need cleaning and/or more usage. Expect to put in some standard maintenance work to make it perfect. The filters can easily be overdriven resulting in an aggressive sound."

You cand find a demo of one here.

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

The Fénix II PP is a direct descendant of the Fénix II in collaboration with the designer, 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 Psychedelic Sound of Magnetic Tape Flanging

video upload by HAINBACH

"When my friend ‪@AlexBallMusic‬ made a video on the Eventide Instaflanger, he only had a drawing of tape machines to show of how flanging came about. I have a bunch of matching machines, so I decided to give it a shot. The sonic results were a pleasant surprise."

08.06.2024 Synton Fenix - Phaser ultra power

video upload by batchas

"I am sending the audio output of the Vermona ER-9 through the Phaser in feedback mode, using it as a kind of distortion, overdrive & surprise processor.
And as usual I do record the session on video to share the first impressions. The processed sound is really impressive! Patch main connections:
Audio output from ER-9 into Audio Input processor of the Fenix IId. A-out goes to Phaser input in feedback mode. Phaser output goes to mixer.
Trigger out (fast clock extracted by Audio Input processor) goes into Env. Generator 2. Output of EGR2 goes to VCA2. Sawtooth from VCO2 goes into VCF3 Formant Filter being modulated. Output of VCF3 goes into VCA2. Output of VCA2 goes to mixer.
Trigger out goes also to the Wave Multiplier clock input, so I can divide the fast clock by 2 and send to EGR1. Output of EGR1 goes to another VCA1. Triple square from VCO1 goes into VCA1.
a. Output of VCA1 goes to Copycat bandecho."

"I was asked a couple of times how does the Wave Multiplier works. I did this video hoping to answer the question the best I can.

I have no idea how much time they spend on the making, but I can't imagine it not being enormous. Personally I'm simply trying here my best to share my experience and what I discovered about the Wave Mutliplier on the Synton Fénix II and IId, hoping it can be useful for all friends here watching my channel."
