"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."

New Synton Fenix 2 PP Modular Synth First Patch

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)."

video upload by batchas

"Sorry for the terrible video quality. A shame cause I did it to show some patches using the phaser in feedback mode, connecting its output to its input.
I should have checked the recording after making the focus manually (obv. totally wrong!).
I’m sharing nevertheless as the audio is not affected.
Here I explain how I use the phaser in feedback mode:"

Part 1 here

"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 historical
SYNRINX which was available also in red.

So this is the first touch of synth tweaking is a bit rough
sometimes ;-)

Have fun!"

Original SYNTON Fenix 1 - Only 75 Ever Made (1999)

via this auction

"Only 75 units were ever made of this very rare synth. It is used and loved by the likes of Martin Gore (Depeche Mode) and Richard D James (Aphex Twin). This synth is a rare sight on auction sites as there are so few and artists tend to hold on to their Fenixes as they are such a special piece of gear.

The original Synton Fenix 1 is designed and built by the original 1973-1989 Synton team as their ultimate modular synthesizer. None of the available modular synthesizer quite fulfilled their needs and wishes so they came back together once again and built their dream machine, and they succeeded! It's a synth like no other, it's tonal range is extreme, changing from rich and lush sounding to mix-cutting fierceness within a few twists of the knobs.

The layout is designed with live performance in mind, knobs have a great feel and are very well spaced out, especially for a synth so versatile equipped as this. Modules are numerous and diverse. The three VCO's all have their own properties and so do the VCF and EG modules. Each have their own distinctive parameters and in-/outputs making them serving multiple roles at once, for instance VCF 3 has a three input audio mixer as input stage, removing the need for a seperate mixer module. VCO's go as low as LFO frequencies and the range of LFO reaches to the audible spectrum. Stackable bananaplugs make patching quick and flexible.

The rear of the Fenix is equiped with 6 3,5mm jackplugs which are routed to bananajacks on the front for easy integration with other modulares or Midi to CV modules. The front has both a 6,3 mm stereo jack output as a two channel audio input for routing external signals through the Fenix.
