Synthi AKS Matrix Interface
This unit adopts the same styling of retro trapezoidal plastic
case, cnc engraved satin anodised silver front panel that complements
the Synthi AKS. Its a complete interface unit for the Synthi AKS
Matrix...or in other words a 'breakout' box whereby the row/column
signals of the Matrix are taken out to 3.5mm jack sockets. This allows
powerful interfacing options of the Synthi AKS with an external modular
synthesizer like eg Doepfer-Eurorack and/or external effects racks etc.
Its a unique device which can allow amazing synthesis of your synthi
AKS to external equipment and really unleashes the power of matrix
patching. All the signal/control inputs (right hand column of jacks)
have 2.7k series resistors connected internally so taking signals
in/out of the matrix using standard 3.5mm mono jack plug cables via
this breakout box gives the same attenuation as inserting standard
matrix resistor pins.
Connection to external synthesizers etc is via standard jackplug leads
(ie with signal at the ‘tip’ of the plug) with 3.5mm mono jackplugs
used to connect to the interface unit. These connections also join the
ground of the external equipment to Synthi ground which is important.
Patches can be a combination of those created with patchpins in the
usual way and jackleads from the unit to route Synthi signals out to
external equipment and send external signals (such as waveforms,
envelopes, filter out, effect etc) back into the Matrix.
In this way the unit can act as a unique interface, leading to a
powerful symbiosis of Synthi AKS and external Modular
Synthesizers/effects and signal processing equipment.
