Meris Enzo X Preset Pack 4: The Classics // 12 Classic Synths

Some of the most iconic sounds in recorded music came from a handful of synth units that most of us will never own. The kind of gear that shaped entire genres, that still shows up on pro rigs decades after it was discontinued, that has a personality as much as a sound.

This video is a walkthrough of 12 presets built for the Meris Enzo X — each one informed by a classic synthesizer. Not clones. Not copies. Interpretations. We wanted each one to sit with the character, the feel, the musical role of these units, and built something inside the Enzo X that tries to capture that spirit in a completely different architecture.

Some are close. Some went somewhere unexpected. That’s kind of the point.

How do you get this pack? It’s easy! If you’re not already, become a Patreon member. You can join us as an Enzo X collaborator and just get all our Enzo X presets…OR…you can become a CORE collaborator and get ALL our presets…for EVERYTHING!

You can also purchase this pack individually or as part of our Enzo X or Meris ULTIMATE PACK, available here: https://www.patreon.com/thePedalCollaborative/shop. (and remember, ULTIMATE packs are perpetual, so every time we add more presets, you get the latest and greatest!)

A bit of housekeeping. The Enxo X has 5 different modes to choose from, Mono synth, Poly synth, Arpeggiator, Dry mono, and Dry poly. These interact with the incoming notes differently. Mono requires a single note to be played either via MIDI or incoming audio signal. Slides and bends on guitar don’t like this setting IMO. Poly and Arpeggiator do better with chords or multiple notes at a time. You won’t get the most out of single notes. (Now about Dry modes. These are the ONLY modes that require incoming audio signal, and that incoming signal is mixed with the synthesized signal and sent out the output. The other modes by default cut the dry signal from the output, although you can blend it in if you want.)

Notice above that I capitalized a few letters above. This is because of how I’ve chosen to name our presets. I’ve added a letter to the beginning of the name so you know what to expect.

“tpc.mxxx” is MONO
“tpc.pxxx” is POLY
“tpc.axxx” is ARP
“tpc.dxxx” is DRY
