That Syntakt Sound

like it was mentioned, swarm and raw are awesome, too. this is all SY bits: SYNTAKT Sy Bits does it all - Space Theremin, Industrial, Gabber, Acid - YouTube

re: the other theme, i tend to think that manufacturers try to keep complete analogue signal paths where possible only to cater to the beliefs of purists :wink:

I might be wrong but I believe with the heat+FX you can only put the analog stuff at the start or end of the chain, not somewhere in the middle, so I think there is still only one A to D and one D to A.

On the AH+FX you can put the analog section (distortion, filter, eq) anywhere in the signal chain, so also between two digital effects.

it sounds mushy because it has a lot of tracks and very little mixing capabilities. by using the base-width filters and the mixer carefully, as well as not sending everything in the reverb, it can sound quite good.

I think it is very versatile, both for melodic ”VA”things as well as chiptune. And SY SWARM is great to make fat wide things. Made some eight-voice polyphonic noodling here, for instance: New Machines for your machine - #137 by ThomasJ

Shot with Google Pixel camera directly with USB Audio. Sounds muddy. Some sounds are really roomy, some are crisp. That’s the thing when analog and digital sound together in one box. Or it would be actually better to record in Ableton and process properly.

There is everything in this box to make proper mixed tracks. I remember I commented on this before, but I believe there is something wrong with your setup. Everything sounds like some kind of “fake” stereo effect was added, including the kick.

Is there some kind of noise reduction or other effect/process you can toggle in settings?

Through my laptop, it sounds like you’ve got room sound mixed in with the USB sound. Might it be recording both stereo pairs at the same time?

Also, I like the chord sequence and the sound palette :+1:t2:.

That is because they have no brillant and jummie high end. I assume we talk about CY Alloy. The idea is fantastic, the sonic result meh.

Considering the Syntakt has four analog mono synths that sound gnarly AF inside makes it even more rediculous that people look down on it. Syntakt is awesome.
Only the analog tracks:

I was already sold on the Syntakt but I won’t be able to get one until later this year because of other priorities. You are making it really hard not to sell a kidney or 2 to speed up the process a bit :stuck_out_tongue:

Very nice!!

I completely agree. The amount of tracks and sonic possibilities this thing gives us is quite ridiculous :heart:

That’s the AtoVproject - 16n. It comes in black and silver and also does CV. Bought it at Schneidersladen :wink:

Oooh. I like the No hands!

Cool track too. Reminds me of Ziv.

Cool, just checked Perfect Circuit here in the States and it’s pretty reasonably priced ($349)
