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.
Disclaimer: I'm not an influencer, nor I'm asking for money on Patreon. I don't have the equipment, nor I can spend days on making a video, so be aware that the quality of the video content might not meet your expectation(s) or even 2024 online tutorial standards. Myself I watch from time to time demos of new equipement from people I respect for the quality of their product demo or tuto ("loopop" comes first in mind). 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."

The Synton Fénix IId

video upload by batchas

"In this video we see the Synton Fénix IId. It is built from a kit that was sent by Bert Vermeulen himself (Synton) to customers who had the opportunity to buy one around 2022.
The kit came with all the needed material. Bananas, knobs, wires etc. Only the PSU for the latest batch of kits had to be bought separately. You also had to build your on case (provisional one in this video).
I only changed a couple of components on the circuits. And it sounds great!"

"For sale is a very rare Fenix IID analog modular synthesizer. A very limited number of these were ever built and they are based on vactrols instead of ICs. It's a great sounding analog synth, unique tone made famous by users including Aphex Twin. Loads of patching possibilities in a compact package. Includes external power supply. Grab this while you can before it's gone!"

"Here's the second and last Synton "Fenix 2d" I finished to mount. Waiting now for wood to arrive to build a decent case for it.

I'm focusing in this patch on the Phaser in feedback mode and the Delay. I like the kind of sound heard at 2:45. No external effect added."

The Optical Sampler Sound Kraftwerk Loved Modernized

video upload by HAINBACH

"When optical sound sample players came around in the form of the Mattel Optigan, Vako Orchestron and Chilton Talentmaker in the 70s, the reaction was luke-warm. The devices were not a commercial success and quickly disappeared. But one enterprising band from Germany took their lofi sound to heart. Kraftwerk employed the Orchestron in many songs, from Das Model to Uranium. Even today its finds fans - such as Kyle Dixon of Survive, who used the iconic "choir" in their Stranger Things soundtrack. He employed the modern adaption of this arcane technology, the Quilter Labs Panoptigon. I talk with Kyle in the video, show a bit what you can do with the Panoptigon, demo classic Kraftwerk patches and introduce my own disc for this fantastic instrument.
