Syntakt Key Features
Special FX
With Syntakt, you can enrich any of your synth tracks or external audio sources by passing them through a sophisticated FX block. This block gives you authentic analog distortion and filtering, accompanied by several LFOs for added control. In addition, you have access to a high-quality delay and reverb, used as powerful send effects. These effects can be meticulously sequenced via the FX track, allowing perfect synchronization. Bring punchy accents and dramatic changes to your tracks or external audio inputs. You can also use this track as a master to create ducking and gating effects, transforming your compositions into veritable works of sonic art.
Change the moment
Harness the power of musical trigonometry with four modifiers, each offering a unique level of expression. Configure the first two modifiers to fine-tune retrograde or velocity effects according to your preferences. Use the other two modifiers to access customized intensities of various parameters. These tools are ready to use, whatever synth you're using. What's truly exceptional is that these modifiers don't just enrich your playing experience in real time. You can also immortalize these moments of inspiration by recording them directly into the sequencer, capturing all the nuance and dynamics of your performance.
Explore your creativity
This product's keyboard mode opens up a world of musical possibilities with a wide range of scales. Explore familiar tones and discover less common scales to expand your sound palette and take your creativity to the next level. Play your melodies in a single octave, just like on a traditional piano keyboard, or use the folding function to extend your playing over several octaves. With these options, you have all the flexibility you need to fully express your musical talent.
Superior sequencing
Syntakt's world-renowned 64-step sequencer lets you create dynamic soundscapes with precise control over both structure and sound, making it a true musical instrument. Simply hold a step and adjust any parameter for ultra-fast, detailed sequencing, or record your performance live. Compose your music by adding each tonal nuance step by step, or capture every variation and improvisation in real time. This process, sometimes dubbed Swedish sequencing, is what we call parameter locking, offering unprecedented flexibility and creativity in your musical compositions.
Central station
A MIDI machine can be assigned to any of the 12 synth tracks, offering four-note polyphony, LFOs and much more. Syntakt is also ready to connect to Class Compliant devices, enabling easy integration with computers, smartphones or tablets for audio and MIDI via USB. Connect with ease and explore new sonic dimensions with greater flexibility.
