Erica Synths SYNTRX II Desktop Analog Synthesizer
Based on lessons learned from the SYNTRX, Erica Synths’s team decided to create an instrument that would integrate even deeper into contemporary electronic and experimental music setups. Above all, SYNTRX II covers sonic territory from daunting drones to powerful basslines and glitched noisescapes – the SYNTRX II is a new dark horse for experimental sonic rides.
Analogue Synth Essentials
The SYNTRX II is the culmination of Erica Synths’ analogue sound design circuits. It features two perfectly stable main oscillators with waveshapers, a modulation oscillator with 1V/oct tracking. Furthermore, it has a versatile multimode filter, supercharged external instrument inputs with an envelope follower.
It also carries a unique, great-sounding ring modulator, a recordable joystick, a built-in piano roll sequencer and stepped modulation sources. Lastly, they are all arranged around Erica Synth’s signature matrix mixer and topped off with powerful FX on their new DSP platform.
