Sonicsmith ConVertor E1 introduction, Eurorack pitch-tracking synthesizer


Sonicsmith

"The ConVertor E1 is not a marginal improvement. It's actually a total redesign of every aspect from the ground up, supplemented by a slew of new features. Don't let its small size fool you. This 3-PCB sandwiched module was designed to stay narrow so we can stack multiple units side by side for polyphonic sets. Only 100 units are expected to be manufactured for 2021."



via Sonicsmith

"ACO/VCO pitch tracking, expandable oscillator alongside a feature-rich, studio preamp.

The ConVertor E1 merges the pro-studio into the Eurorack modular synth into what can be called the ultimate “synth channel”. With its pitch tracking DCO alongside a preamp with many pro features for the instrumentalists and vocalist, or for the working musician professional/sound engineer/designer. All functions in the ConVertor E1 are digitally controlled and can be saved/recalled as presets for a plug n’ play, intuitive performance while leaving you with analog CV outs to continue your sonic journey. With MIDI 2.0 ready digital interfacing option, firmware and hardware expansion, and polyphonic options, the ConVertor E1 is an extremely versatile tool.

Currently receiving pre-orders, limited production run. Shipping late March 2021."

Squaver P1+ 80's Covers, Depeche Mode, Yazzo Don't Go and Axel F Beverly Hills cop with guitar synth


Sonicsmith

"In this video the Squaver P1+ synthesizer pedal is controlled via a guitar mono input (through that green compressor pedal) with varying amounts of PWM modulation from the Modulor A1.
First posted on our Instagram page, this is just a widescreen full HD edit of that video. This edit also contains the bass for "Just Can't Get Enough" just before shortly cut out cause I haven't really practiced it much :p"

Squaver P1+, Modular A1 and the Moog Mooger Foogers


Sonicsmith

"Maxime Graff shows how the Squaver P1+ and the Modulor A1 can interact with the Mooger Fooger pedals via CV patches. Moog pedals use 0V - 5V so some attenuation is needed but they are all 1V per octave and tracking is great so it's easy to stay in tune."

SUPERBOOTH 2019 - Sonicsmith experience


Published on Aug 4, 2019 Sonicsmith

"This video shows Superbooth 2019 through Sonicsmith lens.
It was the first superbooth I have gone to without renting a booth. Luckily the lovely people from the Electronic Music School offered me to put Sonicsmith products in their booth. It worked out great cause I met some lovely people from Koln and Berlin branches plus I could show the products but still feel free to walk around and film what was going on.

You will see some interesting booths and live shows that I found interesting.

Playing Behringer MODEL D From GUITAR - Audio-to-Synth / Sonicsmith CONVERTER+ A1 / Guitarsynth


Published on Mar 9, 2019 VolcaRock

"Quick demo of my Behringer Model D playing from Guitar!
Sonicsmith Coverter+ converts the audiosignal from my guitar to pitch and gate for my Model D. The tracking is pretty fast. Model D behaves like my guitar :-)
The final sound is 100% Behringer Model D. On one patch I fed the Audio Controlled Oscillator ACO of the Converter+ into the Model D mixer as additional Sound source. And I used the LFO of the A1 Module for the Model Ds filter.

In the past I used a Midi-based guitarsynthesizer from Roland with my Godin LGX.-SA with build-in Piezo pickups for MIDI tracking. But the Sonicsmith Converter+ tracks faster. Of course you have to play very accurate (not like me) to get results without glitch.
No MIDI has been used for these recordings!

Sonicsmith ConVertor+ Introduction


Published on Jul 5, 2018 Sonicsmith

"An introduction to the ConVertor+ Audio Controlled Synthesizer.

The same semi-modular 9V pedal PSU or battery powered analog synth as the previous model. Using the ACO100 chip it can detect the pitch of an incoming audio signal and play along analog synth waves without never going out of tune.

The Pitch CV out along with ENV, gate & trigger CV outs, you get the full blood stream of modular synthesizer elements while staying analog throughout.

The new + version full list of changes:

The biggest difference between the ConVertor and ConVertor+ is the conversion of the input low-pass filter frequency shift knob (on the left directly below the IP GAIN, or preamp gain, knob) into a gate threshold adjustment knob. This is most useful in situations with lots of background noise (like microphones in a live performance situation). The same change was made on the Squaver P1+ vs. the Squaver P1.

Convertor- Sonicsmith & ADX-1 Mode Machines processing drums


Published on Apr 27, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Convertor from Sonicsmith processes every signal released by ACO on the synthesizer signal. I love such modulations so I often use them for drums and other strange things to get unique sounds. in this demo of sounds ADX-1 (Analog Drum Machine) from Mode Machines I have transformed from Convertor. check how it affects the drums.!!!"

Sonicsmith - ACS Improvement announcement


Published on Mar 17, 2018 Sonicsmith

"Both our Squaver P1 and our ConVertor audio controlled synthesizers got a little face lift when we decided to increase their ACO's gate threshold by 18db to -36dBu.
This significantly decreased the chance of random noises.
All our existing stock is now upgraded and is still offered for 40% discount until stock lasts.
If you are an existing user you can receive this upgrade for free.
Just write us an email at info@sonicsmith.com and we will guide you through the rest.
Our + versions of those synth is still expected to ship early April and is going to be pretty similar to the upgraded current generation only with an addition of a variable gate threshold knob."

Sonicsmith Introduces the Modulor A1 Synth


Modulor A1 synth intoduction Published on Dec 4, 2017 Sonicsmith

"We introduce the Modulor A1 synth.

It's a semi-modular, analog music synthesizer that can create traditional sounds but extreme modulations as well.
It runs on standard 9V pedal PSU and has 1V/octave pitch input."


"MODULOR A1

SEMI-MODULAR ANALOG SYNTHESIZER.

Our newest synth is not audio controlled but can come as a perfect accompaniment to them.

In fact The Modulor A1 will enhance any existing analog synth rig, allowing them to enrich their sound beyond belief. The Modulor A1 contains a VCO, LFO (each sync-able), two VCAs (one dedicated to the VCO and the other to the LFO), and numerous patching options. Both VCO and LFO can be square or triangle waves and a switch sends LFO to modulate VCO frequency for some vibrato (at lower LFO rates) or FM (at LFO rates up to 200Hz) effects.

The Modulor A1 is here to dive deep into modular synthesis in the 9V pedal environment. This Voltage Controlled Synthesizer has two audio outputs. One at regular line level (+4dBu) via big jack, and the other is a mini jack on the top panel (9V). This can be fed into a modular synthesizer environments if one wants to use the VCO voice through his Eurorack inputs for example. Another use for this mini jack oscillator is a ring modulation source on the Squaver P1 or any other CV input for that matter. You will get surprised of the results every time you patch it to a different CV destination. As a stand-alone synth the Modulor A1 has quite a bit of power as well. Allowing you to make all kinds of effects and melodies without even a single patch cable. Of course when you consider a few mini-jack to mini-jacks cables the possibilities are more exiting and you'r doomed to fall into an endless pool of tweaking. Either as a companion to our Audio Controlled Synths or along with your own modular synths, this handy 9 X 10 cm synth is a tiny version of a modular synth. The VCO pitch input is 1V/octave and has a 9V minijack output on the front. The other VCO output is a big jack on the back at line level unbalanced+4 dBu. VCO sync input will reset the wave's position to zero every time a threshold of 0V is crossed. The LFO sync input threshold is 3.0v for compatibility with most gate signals. Two knobs for pitch offset 20Hz-20kHz and the other knob is -4-+4 semitones.
Features:

VCO, LFO and two VCAs

9V standard pedal PSU

VCO with two outputs: a big jack +4 dBu post VCA and a minijack 9V out without VCA to control as clock or mix into Eurorack system.

Sync input on both the LFO and the VCO

LFO from 0.2 Hz up to 200Hz for FM synthesis

“LFO to VCO pitch in” switch for instant satisfaction"
