Hey Lars, that's an excellent question. Development of Fenix IV started from the blueprint and circuitry of Fenix II. These came from Marc and Bert at Synton, who asked This is Not Rocket Science to develop the new and updated Fenix IV. From there, Stijn and Lauri of TiNRS, who have decades of music hardware and DSP experience between them, decided which characteristic Fenix modules to leave as-is, and which additions would complement the instrument. Some of the Fenix VI's submodules are exactly the Fenix II circuits, with a few parts updates and technical fixes: Fenix oscillator, Ladder filter, the analog parts of the Noise module, Wavefolder, Wavemultiplier (with some Bert fixes), LFO 1, LFO 2, LFO 3, ADSR 1&2, and the Low Pass Gate. TiNRS rebuilt them from the ground up but they are schematic copies of the Fenix II, with added extra features. I hope that answers your questions! You can read up on the development via TiNRS' blog entries, it's quite fascinating: www2.thisisnotrocketscience.nl/?s=fenix
Loving it! Sounds great 👍
Thank you so much. It was great fun building that patch up step by step.
Sounds tight, fat and open. You got like what 6 voices going on? Nice..Very excited for this one!
Hey! Glad you like it! It's 7 voices for the drums + the bassline
Another excellent video! Thank you guys so much ❤
Thank you, always a pleasure!
How close is the Fenix 1V to the original Fenix...is it just Fenix by name, or does it have all of the original circuit design...where it counts.
