    1.4 Powering up the Nyx In order to power the Nyx sufficiently, use a good quality USB power adapter with minimum 1A and a good quality USB A cable. The USB adapter nor the USB A cable are included in the box.
  • Page 4 2.3 Oscillators NYX oscillators need about 2 to 3 minutes to warm up. You can just turn on the synth and play, but the tuning will change during that time. They work with the classic 1V/Oct CV or Midi controllers.
  • Page 5 Sync switch: Hard syncs Oscillator 2 to Oscillator 1. Vibrato* Rate. Vibrato* Level. RATE 2.4 Filters NYX uses two filters, in order to achieve various timbres. Both of the filters are 2-pole (12dB/oct), but combined in series can achieve 24dB/oct filtering. DUAL FIL TER For more info please refer to the "Routing"...
  • Page 6 DECAY 3. MIX: Blends between dry and wet Reverb sound. 2.8 Routing There are 3 rotary switches that will determine how NYX will sound and behave. WARNING! In some cases and combinations, you might not get sound at all or the required result.
  • Page 7 2. VCF ROUTING LPF: Filter 1 is set to LOW PASS and in series with Filter 2 which is also to LOW PASS. HPF: Filter 1 is set to HIGH PASS and in series with Filter 2 which is also set to HIGH PASS. EVEN: Both Filters to LOW PASS and are set in Parallel.
  • Page 8 2.9 Patching The NYX right section is dedicated to patching. Learning to patch needs lots of experimentation. We strongly suggest spending lots of time and trying to make as much connections as possible. You will find out that half the possibilities of the synth comes from it.
  • Page 9 2.10 Eurorack In order to use the Nyx Reissue in a eurorack case, do the following: A. Unscrew the 4 corner bolts, which keep the module attached to the case B. Remove the module from the case. Afterwards, unscrew the 2 bolts that connect the small PCB to the USB adapter and detach them.
