Dreadbox Nyx Re Synthesizer Black

The Nyx Reissue is a faithful all-analog paraphonic semi-modular synthesizer from Dreadbox — a complete reproduction of the original Nyx V1 in a compact, Eurorack-compatible 42 HP format. Powered via USB, it delivers rich harmonic textures through its warm oscillators, classic dual filter, loopable envelope generators, and a lush built-in reverb effect.

 

Dual Oscillators and Waveshaping

Two oscillators, each with two waveforms, form the core of the Nyx Reissue sound. Individual Octave, Level, and Glide controls are provided for each, alongside Hard Sync and OSC2 Detune for timbral variety ranging from subtle detuning to aggressive overtone shaping. A Master Tune knob ensures precise overall pitch control.

 

Classic Dreadbox Dual Filter

The signature state variable dual filter operates at either 12 dB/oct or 24 dB/oct and accepts separate filter inputs, opening up complex signal routing possibilities. Its warm, musical character is a defining element of the Nyx Reissue sound.

 

Modulators and Vibrato LFO

A dedicated Vibrato LFO sits alongside three independent modulators that can each be configured as an LFO, AR envelope, or ASR envelope. This flexible arrangement enables rich modulation without requiring any patching.

 

Patch Bay and CV Integration

Eighteen patch points provide full CV connectivity: outputs include VCO 2, MOD 2, Noise, Mod Wheel, Gate, and 1V/oct; inputs cover CV1, CV2, Cutoff, CV, Gate, Post Cutoff, PW, and VCA. Both VCO and VCF routing offer four selectable options, ensuring seamless integration into any Eurorack system.

 

Paraphonic Playability and MIDI

Nyx Reissue operates in monophonic or paraphonic (duo) mode, with Legato support, OTA VCA, and Master Level control. MIDI input is available via both DIN5 and TRS, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of keyboards and sequencers.

 

Built-in Reverb

A lush reverb effect is integrated directly into the signal chain, adding spatial depth and atmosphere to any patch without the need for external processing.

 

USB Power and Eurorack Compatibility

Consuming just 1.5 W, the Nyx Reissue is USB-powered and can operate for up to 50 hours from a 20,000 mAh power bank. It is fully Eurorack compatible, drawing 200 mA at +12 V and 110 mA at − 12 V. The package includes the 42 HP case, a DIN5-to-3.5 mm MIDI adapter, and a ribbon cable.

Polyphony

Polyphony: 2

The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.

LFO

LFO: 4

An LFO, or low frequency oscillator, brings electronic sound to life. It adds movement and interest to synthetic sounds and effects, playing an important role in both subtle synthesis and bold sound design. However, you won't hear the LFO itself because it acts as a modulator. This means that it does not directly affect the audio signal, but adjusts other parameters such as oscillator pitch and filter clipping.

Oscillators

Oscillators: 2

This dual-oscillator synthesizer offers a wide range of sonic possibilities that combine harmonic and non-harmonic tones. Users can adjust the frequency and amplitude of each oscillator separately, allowing harmonious layering of sounds, creating unison effects or captivating modulations.

Pitch Bend: Yes

The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.

Modulation: Yes

Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.

Headphone Output: Yes

The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
