Erica Synths / SYNTRX II

Erica Synth/SYNTRX IIThis is an analog synthesizer with an updated patch matrix of the limited edition SYNTRX. Newly equipped with joystick recording and digital effects.

Erica Synths SYNTRX, a limited edition of 1056 units, has been rebuilt with the authorization of Peter Zinovieff, founder and developer of Electronic Music Studios (EMS), the creator of the legendary Synthi AKS synthesizer.

Erica Synths has successfully developed an instrument that blends even deeper into modern electronic and experimental music setups, from drones and powerful basslines to glitchy noisescapes, based on the lessons learned from the development of SYNTRX.

SYNTRX II is the culmination of analog sound design circuitry. It features two fully stable main oscillators with sound shapers, a versatile multimode filter, a great textured external input with envelope follower, a ring modulator with unique and great sound character, a joystick for recording operations, and a matrix mixer with Erica Synth signatures that also incorporates a built-in piano roll sequencer, and a new powerful effect with a new DSP platform.
