Erica Synths has announced that its highly anticipated SYNTRX II desktop synthesizer is now available. Based on lessons learned from the SYNTRX, the company has decided to create an instrument that integrates even deeper into contemporary electronic and experimental music setups, covering sonic territory — from daunting drones to powerful basslines and glitched noisescapes — the SYNTRX II is a new dark horse for experimental sonic rides.
The SYNTRX II is the culmination of Erica’s analogue sound design circuits; two perfectly stable main oscillators with waveshapers, a modulation oscillator with 1V/oct tracking, a versatile multimode filter, supercharged external instrument inputs with an envelope follower, a unique, great-sounding ring modulator, a recordable joystick, built-in piano roll sequencer, and stepped modulation sources — all arranged around the signature matrix mixer, and topped off with powerful FX on our new DSP platform.
Features:
- Two perfectly stable main oscillators with CV-controlled waveforms
- Modulation oscillator with variable waveforms
- Highpass and Lowpass filters in series
- Free running or gate synced sample and hold circuit
- Multi-colour noise generator
- DC coupled instrument inputs with signal inversion and envelope follower
