These pages offer a description of the Syrinx lead synthesizer built by Synton Electronics of the Netherlands.
The Syrinx is a monophonic analog synth. It has no Midi and no presets. The Syrinx is actually Syrinx 2. Syrinx 1 (about 1975) never came out.

Modifications
We have sold syrinx with an EH instant replay. The syrinx was modified for using the with the instant replay. You can play the instant replay with the syrinx and the output of the instant replay is processed by the syrinx. (manual and syrinx interface)
There als also modified syrinx with extra CV inputs for the filter frequency and the ADSR parameters, Audio input for the filter, CV input for controlling the modulation from the ADSR to the filter and VCA, CV input for the touchpad.
Filters: Three VCF's.
The three filters can be switched in various ways. This makes the Syrinx very flexible.
Due to the large number of controls, it is not always easy to reproduce a sound you've made earlier.
The Syrinx uses seven Curtis chips for VCO's, VCA, RM, VCF's and envelopes.
A final series of six Syrinxes was made after Synton went out of business.
These were mounted in flight cases, and had no keyboard.
