Thank you for purchasing 

the Erica Synths SYNTRX 

Synthesizer!

Since its beginnings, Erica Synths has promoted 
experimental electronic music and has developed 
instruments that enable musicians to unleash 
their creativity. When it comes to standalone 
instruments, we considered the Synthi AKS to be 

one of the most encouraging instruments in ex-
perimental music. We, therefore, teamed up with 
engineers from the Riga Technical University to 
develop a synthesizer (no part of the schematics 
was cloned from Synthi) with a user interface that 
challenges conventional wisdom in sound design. 
We believe that it will inspire users to explore the 
sonic universe and travel to previously undiscov-
ered audible realms.
