Very good condition. Comes with flight case and I will include cables for keyboard c/v and gate. There is a few marks here and there but it is nearly 25 years old. The touch bend pad is worn but this is common on Syrinx.
The Syrinx is mono synth with a very nice filter [2 VCO, 3 sync modes, 2 LFO's, 2 ADSRs and a ring modulator]. It has 3 VCF's that can be patched in four different ways. It's a monophonic lead synth in the same category as the Minimoog & Odyssey but far more rare, as there were only a few hundred were produced from 1983 through 1984.
The Syrinx uses seven Curtis chips for its VCO's, VCF's and envelopes. It has two analog VCO's, a sub-oscillator and three flexible VCF filters. You can switch between the three filters for either a 24 dB lowpass, or two bandpass filters, and they can be patched in four different ways (series/parallel). Additionally the Syrinx has two LFO's, FM, PWM, osc-sync, 2 ADSR envelopes, ring modulation, portamento and a cool touch-pad that can control various parameters from pitch-bending to the LFO rate. The Syrinx's Mixer section lets you adjust levels for each VCO and the sub-osc as well as the Noise Generator and Ring Modulator. There is no MIDI and patch memory options.
It was inspected last November by Oakley Systems. He removed two modifications that had been done and filled in the gaps left by these two knobs, at top left.
One modification has been left on the synth as it is a big improvement. This is a switch that allows you to choose c/v modulation from LFO 1 or LFO 2 (before it was fixed at LFO 2) for the first voltage controlled bandpass filter. the 2nd bandpass filter is fixed at LFO 2. This modification allows for the creation of some lovely swirling phasing sounds like on the mutron biphase or lovetone doppleganger. see the third photo.
