Read More…An envelope is an essential building block in modular synthesis. Insert a signal into the envelope through the gate and the ADSR will allow you to shape that sound from a quick percussion beat to a smooth soundscape.
For newbies: The ADSR is a very common form of envelope generation in modular synthesis. It has 4 stages: Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release. So your signal will go in, rise to the point where you set the Attack level, then the Decay level kicks in to drag out the sound for a bit, or drop it quickly. This leads to the sustain stage. Sustain is what it sounds like. It helps you sustain the sound created by the first 2 stages. From there, the final stage is Release. This allows you to slowly release the sound to silence or cut it off immediately.
The Synax Precision ADSR is a simple module that adds essential functionality to your modular system . It has 4 knobs for each stage of the envelope; Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release. Below these are 3 audio jacks: Gate, Inverted Output and Non-inverted output.
Your signal goes into the Gate input, at which point it goes through the envelope based on the settings. The non-inverted output follows the levels you have set for each stage. The inverted output is probably what you think it is: a polar-opposite of the non-inverted signal. This gives you 2 outputs to use as control for your other modules.
If you want even more copies of the outputs, the Synax Mix/Mult offers a 4 output Multiple. Plug one of the ADSR outputs into the input of the multiple and it will create 4 duplicate copies which you can then send around your system. Synced sounds that you can mold into complementary beats or melodies.
No matter if you're a newcomer to modular synthesis or a seasoned veteran, this Precision ADSR adds an essential function to your rack or lunchbox.

The idea for Synax and MagPower evolved over the past several years, while dealing with the aftermath of losing my job of 15 years due to Covid. This project kept me going, day in and day out, because I believed in the idea and fell in love with the process of research and design that goes into every Synax module. It gave me something to focus on when my mind was filled to the brim with worries about the future. I worked all the time developing the MagPower system and creating Synax modules, but wasn't getting any money from it. I'm hoping that others will find as much interest in the system as I have throughout the development process. The current Synax modules available are only the beginning. I have numerous modules in development and several modules close to the finish. I try to do as much homework and testing as possible to be sure that you're getting a quality product in the end.
MagPower is based around a magnetic connection between three pogo pins on the power panel and 3 copper tracks on the back of each Synax module. Power into the panel comes from a standard 10-pin Eurorack connector. From there it gets filtered and sent through a twin-IC hot-swap circuit. This allows Synax modules to be swapped in and out on-the-fly during a performance while protecting both the MagPower panel and the rest of your system from being affected due to over/under voltage or current.
The Synax module itself is comprised of 2 boards secured to each other with 6mm standoffs. One side of the main board provides the user controls, and the reverse contains all of the circuitry to make it work. To this is connected another board of the same size that provides power to the module from the magnetic connection on the Eurorack power panel. The module power board is attached to the main board with 4 standoffs and several pogo pins to provide power without being permanently wired to the module. This allows you to quickly and easily swap out the main or power board if required, or access the programming pins on modules using a microcontroller. A screwdriver is the only tool needed to take everything apart.
*Note: Synax modules require the MagPower Eurorack power panel to use, which is sold separately.
