New SYNTHR3 Boutique Modular with Interchangeable Filters by SynthR & oZoe

SynthR3 Demo1 : first sequence test (Berlin School) sync on Electribe

Published on Dec 12, 2019 KurtzMindfields

"Introduce the SYNTHR3 made by Remy Wasselin et Jean-Luc Lartigue.
Prototype N°1
Today discovering the sound and possibilities of this Semi-Modular analog Mono/Paraphonic with 3 VCO + Sub VCO/ 2VCF / 2LFO / 2 VCA / S&H / Noise /Ring Modulator ... and Patch memories ! Arpegiator ! Step Sequencer !(chords or mono). Internal clock or MIDI Clock (as seen in the demo)
Just love it !!!!!!!! "

"SYNTHR3 is a new Boutique modular analog Synthesizer from France with a prewired engine, interchangeable filters, and MIDI control.

The French developer Rémy Wasselin aka SynthR has today introduced the SYNTHR3, a new pre-wired modular analog Synthesizer. The synth is built into a beautiful, compact wooden case with a black faceplate and bluish light buttons.

SYNTHR3 is full analog and can be used in different modes (3-voice paraphonic, 2-voice poly bi-timbral or mono). In full mono (3 oscillators + 1 or 2 filters), paraphonic (3 voices) and duophonic. That’s not all. It also includes an arpeggiator mode with a virtual keyboard split with many possible modes. So VCO 2 can be linked to the arpeggio or free to play. In the sequencer mode, you can memorize the sequences in mono or Para1 mode.

Flexible 3-VCO Design

SYNTHR3 has three analog oscillators, each with different waveforms and modulation options. VCO 1 and 2 outputs triangle, sawtooth and pulse with PW control. VCO 3 includes triangle, reverse sawtooth and square waveforms. The first two oscillators also have dedicated inputs for FM and PWM that can be achieved via LFO1, LFO2, envelope, aftertouch, S&H or VCO2 (cross-mod). Also, you can sync VCO 2 with VCO 1 and apply glide (portamento) to both oscillators.

The third oscillator also includes PWM and frequency modulation via an envelope, aftertouch or LFO2. Further, you have a sub-oscillator with two sub-octaves. Octave -1 outputs triangle, sawtooth, square while octave -2 only square. SYNTHR3 also includes a noise generator (white/pink) and a flexible ring modulator (VCO 1 – 2 and/or VCO3 mixable). All signals come together in the mixer and can be routed independently to VCF 1 or/and VCF2.

Many Legendary Filters In One Synth

The filter section SYNTHR3 offers two filters (VCF) and contains filters from many legendary Synthesizer developers: ARP 4072, SEM, Moog, Steiner, CEM3320, and SI2044. Very exciting is here that all the filters are available and selectable in the Synthesizer. So you can have per example a Moog filter in VCF1 and SEM in the second.

Prodyssey ASB Creamware, using as an old modular synthesizer, with Beatstep Arturia.

Published on Jan 15, 2016 KurtzMindfields

"Demo (1/3) of the great emulation of the ARP Odyssey, the creamware ASB can do many things (polyphonic synth, lead mono synth, with memories and internal effects ...), but at first we are expected to get that particular ARP sound and philosophy approach! lets see as a typical old ARP modular sequenced synth!? Well after working with, i can saying that his doing well the job!"

Kind of interesting when you look at the different sections of the panel as different modules, which essentially they are. A standalone synth is just a bunch of modules patched together. What makes a modular a modular is being modular. :) Meaning... You can swap modules about, in and out, to create different systems. Because you have to patch discrete modules together, all the inputs and outputs for modulation then add to that.
