Switchtrix Electronics VCSX-100 Is An Alternate History Sibling To The EMS VCS3

Switchtrix Electronics shared this teaser video for their VCSX-100 – a sort of alternate history sibling to the EMS VCS3.

Housed in a VCS3 style cabinet, it contains the following modules, all interfaced to 3.5mm jack sockets to connect to other VCS3/Synthi’s or modulars:

  • SYNTHI 100
    • Dual Random Voltage Generator
    • Multimode Filter
    • Four Mode Envelope Shaper/VCA
    • Eight Octave Filter Bank
  • VCS3/SYNTHI
    • Oscillators 1-3
    • Noise Generator
    • Ring Modulator
    • Input Amplifiers
    • Envelope Shaper/Trapezoid
    • Filter
    • Joystick

Details are sparse on the Switchtrix site, but the synth appears to be one of a boutique line of made-to-order EMS clones, along with original designs, that are inspired by vintage EMS synths. Details are still to come at the site.

    1. what sort of trolling comment is this?
      Are you one of these pompous afficionado types who thinks he has his finger on the pulse of electronic music history?
      I don’t think so. There are so many aholes out there who are in love with the idea of owning one of the originals and they have not a clue how to use them when they get one.

  1. Cool, Hertz per Volt? Or Volt per Oct?
    Is it compatible with modern modular synth kit of today’s era?
    Is it dual sync patchable and expandable or able to increase the voice count?

    Fair questions
