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.

3 highly accurate VCOs that track
admirably over 8 octaves
+-1 octave switch for the VCO1
Sync switch for the VCO2

- Page 2 THE “MODULES” The SYNTRX is somewhat similar to the modular synthesizer – here you can modulate any available “module” with another, and possible connections are almost limitless. The mixer/splitter matrix allows the mixing of up to 16 signals to one output and likewise – because all inputs and outputs are buffered - split one signal to up to 16 destinations.
- Page 3 For example, two oscillators running at audio rates or an oscillator and SYNTRX patches. The internal signal levels in the SYNTRX are modular microphone patched into one of the Inputs on SYNTRX. Depending on the input signal frequency level, meaning, the normal unattenuated audio signal is 10Vptp. CV relationship, the output is a complex set of component tones, being typically metallic, bell-like sounds.
- Page 4 PATCH MATRIX The SYNTRX has a digitally controlled analogue PATCH MATRIX. It’s a mixer/buffered multiple matrix, so when designing patches, you can mix up to 16 inputs to a single output without losing signal strength, or alternatively, you can send one signal to up to 16 outputs simultaneously. Moreover, each patch- point has three levels of attenuation –...
- Page 5 PATCH MATRIX IN USE SIGNAL INPUTS CONTROL INPUTS The PATCH MATRIX has 256 possible patch points, each with three levels of attenuation and has a memory of 254 patches. TO BUILD A PATCH, navigate the matrix via X and Y encoders and select a patchpoint. The left encoder allows you to make attenuated connections.

Page 9: Safety Instructions
Please follow the instructions for the use of above +50° C or below -20° C. If you have trans- manufactured and confront RoHS without the the Erica Synths Bassline DB-01 below, be- ported the instrument in extremely low temper- use of lead, mercury, cadmium or chrome.
