Description | Not satisfied with the current synthesizers available in 1997 Marc Paping and Bert Vermeulen, from Synton company reunited to create the Synton Fénix, an analogue modular synthesizer featuring 31 differing modules.
The Synton Fénix's features and was the culmination of the designs that Paping and Vermeulen had liked in synthesizers that they had owned. After creating an initial 25 handbuilt units the team decided to hand build another 50 units due to high demand. In total, only 75 units were created and the team stopped production of the Fenix in 2000. |

| Velocity |
As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. |
Aftertouch |
Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel. |
| Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise. |
