Syntrx II: Say hello to my little friends

[@flamegrylls8965]

I usually love those old videos for the kitsch but with that music they were properly grim, which is really what they deserve. Nice work.

Some dust on the dinner and a smashed window. It'll be fine.

Very dark & dystopian, excellent with my headphones on 👍

[@RichardDeHove]

Thanks Kev

MARVELOUS SETUP.... very good looking to... everything in black... seems it did build for you Richard !

[@RichardDeHove]

Haha! You're right. I love the Erica design, everything from the all-black look to the feel of the knobs and the thick metal enclosures.

Wie diese 3 Geräte interagieren ist das eine - und wohl schwierig zu sagen wie - umso mehr gefällt die Endsumme dieses schönen Tripletts 🙂 sehr passend zu den "Verteidigungsclips*.

Right around the corner...

[@RichardDeHove]

And yet many people seem completely unconcerned. Strange how things change.

Amazing! I really hope you’re planning to do a deep dive tutorial with the Syntrx similar to what you did for the Bassline. I’m about to get one, and your Bassline videos were sooooooo helpful!!

[@RichardDeHove]

Thanks Chucklehead (Squadron 617?). I need a mere few hundred more hours and the Syntrx tutorials will be ready to go :) It's a deep beast and I wouldn't want to just do a live-action version of the manual. I'm just level 1.

[@Chucklehead617]

@@RichardDeHoveI think your level one is most people’s level 10! I’ll keep my fingers crossed. You really are the gold standard of tutorial videos. I’d even pay for it! (And for one on the source audio ventris, because your nemesis video is great) Oh, and 617 is my area code in the states !

[@RichardDeHove]

​@@Chucklehead617I've sat on this comment for a few weeks hoping to report I've reached level 2 on Syntrx. Not yet ! lol

Well, that was a fabulous little ditty! Definitely the soundtrack civil defense films deserve. I love the Darth Vader theme Erica's got going these days (half-tempted to get one of the new Perkons just cuz), but now you've got me thinking they should do some civil defense-themed panels. How did you have the DB-01 connected? Audio ins only? CV too?

[@RichardDeHove]

Thanks! And I agree on the Erica look :) The Syntrx II for me is one of the best looking synths I've ever seen. Erica is now also selling replacement black panels for Perkons - I would probably have held onto my Perkons if I had known. At least I didn't follow-through with a crazy plan I had to disassemble it and spray it black. With the DB-01 it's a plain audio out to Syntrx Input 1 in gate mode. There's also a MIDI connection but am unsure whether that's important :) I'm still at about 2% knowledge of the Syntrx.

[@KeithDuncanSound]

I need to get more Erica synths gear, I absolutely love my perkons hd-01

[@RichardDeHove]

Their gear has a wonderful gritty sound, good looks, build quality and playable ergonomics. Over time I seemed to have drifted deep into the dark universe.

[@Somnambule]

Great set and setting mate! Sounds so fat…and the video fits great into the sounds…but hope this will never happened again…in this strange world…! Greetings 🖖👽

[@RichardDeHove]

Thanks Somnambule. As silly as parts of the civil defense series was it did contain some useful info like the rates of radioactive decay.

I wish XD

[@ChainsawCoffee]

The Syntrx II has two CV in, and MIDI in. No reason to not use it with a keyboard! Yeah, the 1950s government films downplayed nuclear war, and they shouldn't have done that. The aftermath isn't just a bit of bother, it's a civilization-stopper. Great moody drones!

[@RichardDeHove]

Thanks Chainsaw
