Trax RetroWave Analogue Synthesizer Demo Track, "Manic Fly"

Published on Aug 27, 2013 traxcontrols·11 videos

"This short demo piece is a "sound-alike" of a well-known late 70's Euro synthpop hit. All of the sounds you hear (including the drums) were produced by the Trax RetroWave R-1 Analogue Synthesizer, played by hand in real time, using a Roland RS-5 keyboard to provide the MIDI information via a standard MIDI OUT connection.

The piece was mixed down to stereo from 8 separate audio tracks on a Tascam DP-01FX digital multitrack recorder. The only special effect used is reverberation.

The excellent footage used in the video was provided free by Beachfront B-Roll: Free Stock Footage and OrangeHDcom, whose other work can be seen on YouTube.

The RetroWave is available from our web site at:

No filter on the Z3000 square wave out to HexVCA channel 1.

Mild area effect from mixer on synth sounds. Korg ER-1 mkII percussion.

Thank you to David at Super Synthesis for customizing my Super 37 for me and helping me to adapt my Padouk endpanels to the Super 37 without through hole mounting.

Get yours today from Super Synthesis, worth every penny, a joy to play and wonderfully crafted.

BTW, the QuickLok QL-400 stand for the larger MPC series machines is a perfect fit and highly recommended for your Super 37.

Enjoy!!!!"

What is Paraphonic?

Ideally, for full 'polyphony' in an analogue synth you effectively need a complete analogue synth per voice. That is VCO, VCF, EG and VCA. For an analogue synth this is an expensive affair. So a few synths were Paraphonic (for example the Korg Monopoly). This mean that you still had a VCO per voice, but they shared a single VCF, VCA and EG. This provided cost and space savings.

Why is Polymath using the paraphonic method?

I chose to go Para' not so much to save money or space, but because to make a truly polyphonic modular synth becomes a patcher's nightmare. I know, I have done it using discrete modules. You end up with a sea of patch cables - and you can barely get to any of the synth's knobs. I wanted Polymath to be a fully patchable, versatile analogue synth, as well as being polyphonic - not just a one trick pony. Going Para' was a good comprise, allowing it to both be manageable (patching wise) and polyphonic.

There's another reason it's Paraphonic

The way synth's such as the Korg Monopoly handle polyphony give it it's own kind of sound (that can't be put into words here). By making Polymath a paraphonic synth gives it that same sound characteristic that few other synths have.

In poly mode, as you press and release a single key, the synth will cycle through its four VCOs. If you have a slightly different setting on each VCO, as they cycle, you will get a different timbre as each note is played. This sounds pretty amazing - something you will be familiar with if you are lucky enough to own a Mnopoly, Oberheim 4 Voice, etc.

Polymath is 'Fully Modular'

- in the sense that every thing can be detached and repatched. It doesn't have to be used as a 'poly synth' or a traditional 'mono synth'. It can be repatched to do whatever you wish. Circuits can be isolated and used in conjunction with other modular synths or synths such as the Telemark.

The position of important patch points have been placed close together, where possible, so shorter patch leads can be used that won't obscure too much front panel. For example, Mixer Out jack is placed next to the VCF Audio In jack. This means that it can be patched up to be a mono/poly synth with a minimal amount of cables or front panel-obsucring!

Some voltages are pre-patched in a sense, via quick and easy to use front panel pot's or switches, but they can all be effectively removed from the circuit by setting them to 'zero'

Some Additional Cool Features

Detune - This flattens VCO2 and sharpens VCO4, so that in Unison mod you can easily 'fatten' the sound.

There are 'global' PWM and Pitch Modulation controls, so that, if for example, you want to apply vibrato to all VCOs equally, you can do that with one cable rather than 4.

Spring Reverb - instantly transforms the sound. This doesn't have to be patched in as a traditional effect, at the end of the signal chain. Sounds cool when inserted between the Mixer output and VCF input."
