Erica Synths Syntrx and an original Synthi AKS.

 Part One of the shootout between the Erica Synths Syntrx and an original Synthi AKS.

Simple patches are compared highlighting a single Oscillator, FM, RingMod, Filter, Reverb & Noise.

This video simply compares Sound and Timbre, not the functionality, extras or differences in the Matrix implementation.

It's important to remember that no two original Synthi' are the same. I have a Putney & AKS and I can

never get exactly the same sounds from each even when the patch is identical.

The mechanical pins used in the matrix have different resistances .. and just these can alter the sound. 

 

The Erica Matrix of course doesn't have these "limitations" ..... though I like to see the inconsistency of the old fashioned EMS matrix as part of its charm.

 (Part Two will look at a Putney VCS3 and some more complex patches).

Thanks to Allinaire for the use of his new Syntrx.
