Getting started with Fenix IV - This is Not Rocket Science

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. Short form videos with patch inspiration and patch breakdowns are available here:    • TiNRS Fenix IV - Beats and patches   Here’s a short jam using Fenix with other modular equipment:    • Prototype Jam! TINRS Fenix IV, mmalex Plin...   For more information on the Fenix IV, visit http://www2.thisisnotrocketscience.nl... 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. #TiNRS #Fenix #ThisIsNotRocketScience 00:00 Intro - Fenix IV - Getting started 00:41 Connecting and power up 01:51 Knobs and patch points 02:52 Signals and color codes 04:08 How to get audio out 06:12 Scope 07:54 Categories and color codes 08:12 Generators: Digital Oscillator 11:08 Utility: VCAs 12:46 Utility: Mixer 14:21 Effects: Delay 19:30 Envelopes: ADSR - AHDSR/D 21:23 Sequencer: Steps / Tempo 22:06 Sequencer: Pitch 24:13 Sequencer: Trigger per step 26:06 Octave Selector 26:46 Slew limiter 27:58 Filter: Ladder Filter 29:07 End of Video Jam 29:51 Outro - Goodbyes
