Synthux Academy Audrey II Feedback Synth

We say...

A beautiful limited-edition drone synth with effects and stereo output.

Manufacturer's description

Audrey II is a horrorscape synthesizer designed for fearless exploration of feedback. Unpredictable yet compelling, it transforms chaotic sound into immersive soundscapes. From deep, haunting drones to screeching, otherworldly tones, Audrey II is a sonic beast like no other.

Feedback synthesis?

What is feedback, really? It’s that magical moment when sound loops on itself, evolving into something wild. With Audrey II, we’re taking feedback to the next level using Karplus-Strong synthesis — a fancy term for turning short bursts of noise into rich, self-sustaining tones. Think digital strings, but way cooler.

Digital witchcraft

Some say analog is the only way to get that sound… We were surprised too when we heard the first burst of noise coming through our headphones. That warmth, the grit, the unpredictability, it was all there. But here’s the twist: Audrey II is 100% digital, running on the almighty Daisy Seed platform.

Built from the ground up to emulate analog chaos, digital bits power every nuance of Audrey II’s feedback, distortion, and reverb-drenched echoes. It’s pure digital magic that doesn’t just imitate analog. It embraces and amplifies it. What you hear isn’t just a close approximation; it’s a whole new breed of sound that pushes digital synthesis into uncharted territory.
