Syntrack

One of the coolest quirks about this synth is its stash of 100 ROM waveforms, all emulations of classic analog shapes—no gimmicky pads or ethnic instruments, just pure oscillator goodness ready to rip through that analog cascade filter.

It's a compact 1U rack module that packs a digital wavetable oscillator into a monophonic voice with hands-on knob control for every key parameter, making tweaks feel immediate and intuitive. Six buttons and a 2-digit LCD handle program selection from 99 spots (29 presets, 70 user), while the front panel keeps essentials like filter cutoff and resonance right under your fingers. MIDI In/Out/Thru, balanced 1/4" audio out, external input for processing other sounds, and a global LFO (pitch mod only, syncable to MIDI clock via mod wheel) round out the spec, all powered by a standard 9V wall wart.

Back in the day, players loved its wild, responsive filter for fat bass tones and that aggressive analog distortion post-filter, calling it a fresh, perky voice for racks—though some wished for deeper editing or portamento.
