New SynTesla MegaHertz Two-Voice 5U Modular Synthesizer
Ahead of Superbooth 2026, SynTesla has introduced the MegaHertz 5U modular synthesizer, a Moog format system from the makers of Hans Zimmer’s monster synth.The MegaHertz is the first commercial 5U modular synthesizer system from SynTesla, developed as part of the broader Hz series inspired by the company’s high-end custom instrument work.
It is a two-voice analog system, built in a 5U format and housed in a handcrafted wooden cabinet. The instrument integrates a set of 5U modules, designed for both traditional subtractive synthesis and more complex modulation and wave-shaping approaches.
Its architecture combines dual oscillators, wavefolding, multiple filter types, extensive envelope generation, LFO-based modulation, and a large utility section for signal routing and control.
Features:
- Two-voice analog 5U modular synthesizer system
- Dual VCO architecture with multiple waveforms and advanced modulation options including PWM, phase modulation, and through-zero frequency modulation
- Wavefolder module for additional harmonic shaping and West Coast-style synthesis capabilities
- Dual filter section including a diode ladder filter (LP/BP/HP modes) and a 6–24 dB low-pass filter
- Four DADSR envelope generators for complex multi-stage modulation control
- Super LFO module with 16 waveforms, waveform sequencing, distortion/waveshaping, sync, and multiple CV outputs (including inverted outputs via expander)
- Multiple VCAs and dedicated mixing utilities including C.L.O. constant-level mixing architecture
- Utility modules including attenuators, boosters, buffered multiplier, logic module, and multi-path mixers
- Three-band resonator module for spectral shaping
- 4-to-2 mixer module for flexible signal routing
- Handcrafted 5U cabinet construction, with solid oak side panels and customizable finishes
- Integrated dedicated power supply supporting 110V/60Hz and 230V/50Hz operation with internal filtering and 32-slot distribution system
The MegaHertz system is available now as a limited-production, handcrafted 5U synthesizer system. Pricing is listed at €6800 (excluding VAT), with availability described as limited and built to order.
