In this video we'll take a closer look at This is Not Rocket Science's Fenix IV modular synth. Join and watch us gleefully fumble through this insane bag of tricknology!

In 30 minutes we will guide you through everything you need to get started with a Fenix IV. We will follow the signal flow and analyze audio with the built-in scope. We will start with basic tone generation and guide you through your first patch using all the colours in the Fenix IV: Generators, Envelopes, Modulators, Filters, Effects and Utility modules - including the sequencer.

If you are watching this with a Fenix IV in front of you, this tutorial is meant to show you all you need to start and go and explore further on your own.

The Fenix IV modular synth is the fourth member in the Fenix family of standalone patchable synthesizer systems. Made by Stijn Haring-Kuipers (This is Not Rocket Science) and Lauri Koponen (Vaski), with conceptual and practical guidance by master builder Bert Vermeulen (Synton / SyntoNovo). The first systems are being delivered right now.

All Fenixes seek to bridge the usual divide of tonal versus experimental or additive versus subtractive synthesis and offer multiple types of oscillators, filters, LFOs, envelopes and effects to patch. The Fenix IV also bridges the usual analog versus digital divide.
