WARNING
Although you can open the rear panel to change a filter or other module, it is forbidden to interfere with the power supply,
as the presence of electrical voltage may cause a risk of electric shock.
Use a standard power cord.
INTRODUCTION
The SYNTHR3 is an analog synthesizer with subtractive synthesis and MIDI controls.
Like any analog synthesizer whose VCOs are not digitally controlled, it is susceptible to frequency drift due to excessive
temperature and beats between VCOs are audible. An internal tuning fork allows you to check the VCOs' timing.
In a historical modular synthesizer, the patches are made by cables that connect the modules together. For the SYNTHR3, no
cables, but push buttons that connect the modules together. This makes the connections between modules more visible,
more legible. These push buttons are digital switches and can therefore be stored in profiles called "Patch".
The modular side is preserved by the use of memory patches and by the possibility of exchanging certain modules by the user
by opening the back panel. In particular, several filters are available.
Although pre-wired, the choice of modulations remains important.
The MIDI control is done through a MIDI to CV and Gate converter which receives a MIDI master keyboard.
In order to take advantage of the SYNTHR3's features, this keyboard must have: pitch bend, modulation wheel, aftertouch
and velocity as well as a sustain pedal.
The MIDI converter can also be controlled by a DAW software via the USB port.
The Arpeggiator part and the Sequencer part of the SYNTHR3 will be able to receive via the DIN socket a MIDI clock and the
associated "Sync 24" commands.
