Meet the Atlantix: Intellijel’s Next Big Eurorack Module

If you’re a fan of classic synth sounds and modern versatility, you might be excited about the newest creation from Intellijel. This module is the highly anticipated successor to the Intellijel Atlantis, which itself was inspired by the legendary Roland SH-101. The Atlantis was loved for its immediate and rich soundscapes, and the Atlantix takes that legacy forward with even more features and flexibility.

So, what’s new? The Atlantix brings all the classic vibes of the SH-101 and then some. It’s an analog subtractive synth voice that crams in VCOs, VCF, VCA, noise, and an envelope. Perfect for Eurorack setups, it gives you a rich palette of sounds without the need for a million patch cables.

Top Features

• Filters: Cascaded 4-pole multimode filter with modes like lowpass, bandpass, highpass, and even phaser. This filter section can range from creating subtle tones to self-oscillating growls.
• Oscillators: Two triangle core VCOs with features like thru-zero FM, pulse-width modulation, and more. VCO A is especially cool with its thru-zero frequency modulation and dedicated FM depth control.
• Suboscillator: Provides those deep, rumbling lows with three modes spanning two octaves. Essential for thickening up your bass lines.
• Noise Sources: Choose between white and pink noise for some added texture. Great for percussive sounds or adding a bit of grit.
• Mixer: A six-channel mixer that includes waveforms from VCO A, sub, noise, and aux inputs for some crazy flexibility. You can mix in external signals and route them through the VCF or directly to the VCA for unfiltered sounds.

The Atlantix isn’t just about cranking out great sounds; it’s also designed to be super user-friendly. It’s got 20 sliders, 4 knobs, 27 toggles, and 2 rotary switches, giving you hands-on control over every aspect of your sound. There are 32 jacks for all your patching needs, and if you’re a real patching pro, the optional Atlx expander gives you 16 more jacks, dedicated waveform outputs, and a ring modulator for even more sonic exploration.

The oscillators are particularly cool. VCO A offers thru-zero frequency modulation, giving you smooth, musical modulation. VCO B can switch between LFO and VCO modes and has a unique “spike” waveform for some extra grit. The mixer section is super flexible, letting you balance primary oscillator waveforms with noise and aux inputs. You can even route signals to skip the filter for a clean, unfiltered sound mixed with filtered audio – perfect for those crystal-clear tones with added harmonics.

The filter section is a beast, with modes that range from clean sine waves to gnarly, self-oscillating growls. It’s a 4-pole multimode filter, so you get a lot of versatility right out of the box.

And let’s not forget about modulation. The Atlantix has two rotary switches that let you pick from eight different modulation sources and route them to outputs, with polarity and level control. There’s even an analog sample and hold circuit for adding some randomness to your patches.

If you’re looking for a powerful, flexible eurorack module that’s easy to use and packed with features, the Atlantix is a no-brainer. It’s great for building basslines, leads and complex modulations. We can’
