Semtex xl manual

Main attraction is the filter section, not the VCO part. Here is something, you rarely or never find in other synthesizers. To top it all off, morphing can also be done through voltage control! BandPass is not voltage controlled, but the filter still sounds warm and full, even with high resonance settings. Self oscillation is no problem, either. Even vocal sounds can be imitated. In addition, all filter types are within reach on the patchfield for simultaneous use.

In addition, the two complex envelopes feature a sort of "gear shifting": Low, Medium, High! Have you got it? Right: fast as a flash or slow as a summer day. These envelopes are very snappy - even faster than those of the great Roland Jupiter-4! What about the LFOs? I personally enjoy the dual-coloured LEDs a lot - each sharing half of a wave cycle with the other. That makes visualizing the LFO up to very high speed possible. Various kinds of pulse and saw are available on the LFO.

You can use all of them simultaneously - just like on the Yamaha CSM - although, of course, they have the same speed. The LFOs can be synchronized.

We also have to mention the second VCA, which can be freely routed. Additional control options How do I keep all of these dynamics under control?

The keyboard voltage CV and the velocity are there in the first place for the two cv-outs. The remaining four CVs and six gates can be freely routed with the use of the PC software. Midi Clock and pitchbend data are offered as well. Considering ist origins one-man company, DIY, etc the MIDI functions are generally very satisfying and may even be used to control other modular systems.

The big guys can't offer more! The only little disappointment is the fact, that you need a PC or at least an emulator for controller adjustment. On the other hand you can also feed the system the necessary information with the help of sys-ex data.

It's only a matter of time, until the necessary tool maybe a sound diver adaption will be available. The competetor Semblance can also do that, but otherwise it offers very few Midi functions, and as a matter of fact no modular patch field. There is a modular version available from Kevin "Synthfool" Lightner, but who lives in his vicinity and who knows if Kevin is in the right mood?

We are sound machines! Tweak us! It's time to sum things up. Those who want it simpler, should get hold of an old SEM or Semblance module which are cheaper but not modular, and which do not offer some of the special features, above all no filter morphings. Percussive, passionate, expansive sounds. From pads simply beeeeeautiful to ZAP-Sounds.

Of course a 12dB-filter is a 12 dB-filter! Those who get hooked know what this will mean for their first modular investment. We will contribute further samples with pads, basses, leads.

WebSite Anyware-Instruments: www. Yours, Moogulator this review done for bluesynths. Semtex XL Synthesizer Plastiksprengstoff? Aber nen Synthesizer? Der Semtex ist nun schon eine Weile fertig. Wie ist eigentlich die Story von diesem Teil?

Nach dem Simplesizer und dem Forumodular als erste Idee kam im Forum der Funke auf: Modular ist prima, vielleicht sollte es auch etwas neues sein? Damit war klar: Das geht besser. Bevor dann das Synthesizerforum. Hier standen die ersten festen Ideen erstmals schwarz auf weiss: Im November Wir bestaunten ihn bei der Releaseparty auf Burg Reifferscheid.

Semtex wird von uns intern "felix" genannt.. Es ist aus sehr robustem Metall und hat Holzseitenteile, die recht wuchtig daherkommen.

We recorded them straight into the sequencer. So we didn't use midi on the Semtex. But as my dear friend Synth. Kind of gives the necessary vintage groove to things Great sounds you have there! Have a Happy Holiday! You might get a kick out of it? Post a Comment. A blog about my music, my studio and my DIY projects. On my AtmoSphere album I used a lot of synthesizers, but I also had two machines on lone.

We made some very nice sound effects for the album on this machine. For this reason I thought it would be nice to give it permanent residence in my studio. So I bought it from Hanz. It is a semi-modular analog synthesizer. That means that some signal-paths are pre-patched, but you can alter the path by patching in cables. You can make very freaky sounds with this machine. We sometimes even had to filter of unusably high frequencies in the music like 21 Khz and above.

It has very nice LFO's that you can switch to low, medium and high frequencies.
