Synton Syrinx 1983 - Titanium w/ MIDI Retrofit

The Syrinx is a straightforward CEM-chip (3340, 3350) analogue synthesizer from Holland made in 1983 with a 3½ octave keyboard, 2 oscillators (one with a sub-oscillator), 2 LFOs, 2 ADSRs, Ring Modulator, White Noise Generator, 3 Filters and a VCA. It's the filters which contribute most to the machine's unusual sound; there is a 24 dB/octave Low Pass Filter with a Resonance Control, and two 12 dB/Octave Peak Band Pass Formant Filters with their own Resonance controls. As each of these filters can be modulated in different ways and placed at various points in the signal path, some very complex sounds can be created.  This version is one of about 4-8 made in brushed Titanium. It has a Synhouse MIDIJACK retrofit.  I originally bought it from the second owner in Paris who bought it from the first owner, a musician in Algeria, believe it or not. They used it in the production of French-Moroccan modern dance music. I've used it in electro-EBM dance music, both in a dry smoke-less studio.
