5. SYNTAKT SOUND ARCHITECTURE

The illustrations below show the Syntakt sound architecture, with its analog and digital voice types and send

effects. The illustrations also show what components of the sound architecture are analog (grey boxes) or

digital (white boxes). The audio from the voice output is then routed through the Analog FX block or directly

to the Main mix. For more information, please see “5.4 ANALOG FX BLOCK” on page 17.

5.4 ANALOG FX BLOCK

The Analog FX block primarily consists of three analog parts, the drive, the multimode filter and an amplifier.

The audio from the voice outputs, external inputs, and the effect returns can be separately routed either

through the Analog FX block (pre) or directly to the Main mix (post). For more information, please see “12.1

EDITING THE FX TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 60.
