Magnetar Dual Distortion Synthesizer

Imagine a synthesizer that skips oscillators entirely and births chaotic drones from pure distortion feedback—like a neutron star collapsing into sonic mayhem.

Signals hit the distortion stage first, with In and Dist 1 knobs dialing input and crunch levels, Hue tweaking the tone character via a switch, and Tone shaping via EQ. From there, fuzz takes over with Level, Gain, Dist 2, and Fog controls for hazy, wild harmonics, all feeding into a delay modulated by a central LFO—its frequency and level knobs twisting the GIG time parameter for unpredictable sweeps. Feedback loops via NXPTD crank self-oscillation even without input, while Dry/Wet blends the chaos, and dedicated On/Off plus Bypass switches keep things hands-on. It's a compact desktop unit running on 28V DC, with mono in/out jacks and those cryptic labels that invite endless tweaking around 1Vpp input for best results.

Noise and drone folks have embraced it as a fresh twist in Synamodec's analog lineup, praising the raw, exploratory sound design that rewards patient dialing-in over presets.
