Erica Synths SYNTRX II, User Manual

Page: 19 / 27

In this patch the pulse wave output signal from the Oscillator 1 goes into the input
of the Filter and the output of the Filter is patched into the Output amplifier of the
Channel 1. Now you can alter the cutoff frequency and response of the filter and
alter the timbre of the sound.

In this basic patch both pulse and sine output signals from the Oscillator 1 go
directly into the input of the Output amplifier of the Channel 1. Make Channel 1
level is set at desired value and Panning is at middle. Nothing interesting here, but
we have a sound on the output. By adjusting Frequency dial on the Oscillator 1 you
can alter the pitch of the sound and by adjusting waveshape and level controls,
you can alter the timbre of the sound.
BUILDING PATCHES
Building patches on the patch matrix requires a non-linear approach that is bit different form patching a
regular synthesizer. Without a patch designed, the SYNTRX II will not make any sound. When connecting the
modules, you basically go in circles in and out of the patch matrix. Here are some examples.
