AnalogFX Larynx: Expressive Formant Analog Synthesizer

The electronic music production landscape welcomes a new contender: the AnalogFX Larynx. This instrument is an expressive, semi-modular analog synthesizer designed to deliver a uniquely vocal sound architecture. Building on the heritage of the SER-2020 and inspired by the rare Synton Syrinx, the Larynx reimagines vintage character for contemporary musicians seeking deep analog modulation and performance-focused control. It offers a distinct voice for those who prefer shaping sounds over relying on presets.

A Legacy Reimagined for Modern Musicians

The Larynx synthesizer transforms the core DNA of the SER-2020 into a fully expressive instrument. It combines a premium 37-key keybed with comprehensive analog modulation capabilities, thus providing a distinctive vocal sound. This monophonic, semi-modular analog synthesizer is crafted for artists who demand an instrument that not only generates sound but also responds dynamically to their touch. Furthermore, its design incorporates seamless Eurorack integration, making it a versatile addition to any modular setup.

Expressive Control and Organic Sound

Built to be played, the AnalogFX Larynx features a 37-key keybed with aftertouch, enabling nuanced control over sound parameters. The innovative Touch’n’Bend performance control allows for real-time modulation across the entire signal path. Consequently, every gesture, from subtle pressure to aggressive modulation, is directly translated into sound, fostering a truly organic and dynamic playing experience. The core sound engine utilizes CEM3340-based VCOs for warmth and stability, coupled with a unique triple CEM3350 filter architecture. This combination facilitates vocal, formant-like shaping, moving beyond traditional subtractive synthesis to create sounds that are more alive and expressive.

Formant Mode and Modular Flexibility

A significant evolution in the Larynx is the introduction of Formant Mode. This feature makes expressive, vocal-like sound design more accessible than ever before. With 16 pre-programmed human voice formant settings, users can quickly sculpt sounds that emulate speech-like tones or craft distinctive, animated bass textures. Selecting a formant and assigning it to the keyboard unlocks a new dimension of sonic expression. Moreover, the Larynx offers modular flexibility with its CV inputs and outputs and full Eurorack compatibility. This allows for flexible routing and seamless integration with existing modular systems, or it can function as a powerful standalone voice. In addition, MPE support ensures compatibility with modern expressive controllers.

Comprehensive Features for Deep Sound Design

The AnalogFX Larynx is more than just a synthesizer; it is designed for deep sound shaping rather than relying on presets. It boasts a robust set of capabilities, including dual VCOs plus a sub-oscillator, ring modulator, and noise generation. The three VCFs, combined with two ADSR envelopes and two LFOs, provide extensive modulation possibilities. Additionally, features like Sample & Hold, Auto Glide, Arpeggiator, and Sequencer enhance its performance capabilities. Connectivity options include MIDI and USB MIDI, along with MPE support, ensuring compatibility with modern expressive controllers.Features
