Description
Quad frequency doubler: each stage double the signal frequency and are chained together to multiply the signal at the input by 16. Switching jacks allow to break the connection between each stage to use them individually.
One stage can be used to:
– convert a ramp/saw signal to triangle signal
– multiply a triangle signal by a factor of 2
– multiply a sine signal by a factor of 2 (output sine is glitched)
– solarize a video signal
Inputs: 0-1V, 100kohms
Outputs: 0-1V, 499 ohms
PCB Set: includes Main/Control/Power/Panel PCBs.
– 4HP
– 38mA +12V
– 37mA -12V
– 0mA +5V
– 50mm deep
Combines is now available, it is in stock and ready to ship on Syntonie website, and some units will be on their way to retailers soon! Demo video is up on Youtube (link in bio)
Combines is a triple analog combiner, aimed at combining two signals in various ways.
Each of the three channels features:
- AVG: average of the two inputs, (A+B)/2
- DIFF: difference of the two inputs, ((A-B)/2)+0.5)
- MIN: minimum of the two inputs, min(A, B)
- MAX: maximum of the two inputs, max(A, B)
- XOR: absolute of the difference of the two inputs, abs(A-B)
- MIX: mix of three of the above, scaled to 1V, different on each of the three channels
CH1: (AVG+DIFF+MIN)/3
CH2: (AVG+MIN+XOR)/3
CH3: (AVG+DIFF+XOR)/3
As the front panel suggests, Combines can be used to combine a horizontal and vertical triangle signals (like rectified ramps or oscillators), resulting in 2D shapes, represented on the outputs. Of course, the inputs are not limited to triangle waves, as any signals can be combined together, such as different wave shapes, as well as 2D shapes to create even more complex shapes or an external video signal.
It features 3 channels to allow for RGB processing, however the channels can be chained together as well, increasing the complexity of the resulting output.
Specs:
- 8HP
- 125mA +12V
- 0mA -12V
- 0mA +5V
- 42mm deep

Haven`t had much time to see actual human people lately so I`ve used some of my few spare moments to build some new friends.
.
But, seriously, apologies to my human friends for being so MIA the last couple/few months. I miss y`all and hope the nonstop work madness stops soon.

Matrice is now available, it is in stock and ready to ship on Syntonie website, and some units will be on their way to retailers soon! Demo video is up on Youtube (link in bio)
Matrice is a 1x3 matrix mixer with its outputs normalized to three VCAs.
Used in a RGB processing context, just before the RGB encoder, the matrix section allows to reach a great variety of color palettes, especially when using matte/keyed shapes or posterizing.
The VCAs essentially works as a fade to black, allowing to tame the colors, which is especially useful after the matrix, since it can outputs signals up to 3V, as well as inverting them, that can result in a really bright composition.
Specs:
- 16HP
- 310mA +12V
- 0mA -12V
- 0mA +5V
- 42mm deep

Another quick patch with a similar setup as the previous video, but with ramps and 2D shapes from Rampes instead of an external video signal through Entrée. Recorded in 720p60.
Matrice is available as a pre-order on Syntonie website.

Synthesis patch made with Rampes, Combines, Seuils, Matrice and Sortie.
Various ramps, mirrored ramps and 2D shapes from Rampes are combined together using the three channels of Combines, outputs of Combines going to Seuils signal inputs and CV inputs to generate hard shapes/mattes, which are later processed through Matrice for color tuning using its matrix mixer, and its triple VCA to cut through the colors/creating negative space, finally outputs of Matrice are encoded with Sortie in 720p60.

Feeling rusty with the video synth after a busy few months away from it, easy to forget it’s like playing an instrument and nerds practice

While I enjoy patching synthesis in 720p60 for the increased resolution and frame rate in comparison to SD (PAL/NTSC), a good in between is ED (for enhanced definition), here 576p50.
It keeps the SD resolution and look, with those nice jagged/aliased edges, while benefiting from being progressive rather than interlaced, giving that smooth motion without requiring deinterlacing.
However, not a lot of devices can support ED standards, here a Retrotink 5X is used to convert Component 576p50 to HDMI 1080p50 for capture.
Modules used are Rampes, Animate, Seuils, Isohélie, and a couple work in progress 😉
