ConVertor E1

Audio Controlled Oscillator

ACO/VCO pitch tracking, expandable oscillator alongside a feature-rich, studio preamp.
ACO (audio controlled oscillator) pitch locked will never loses tune.

Synthesizer section:
6 waveform options, including true-sine and an LFO for PWM duties. FM input can be continuous or quantized. Quantizer has 6 options with musical scales to choose for immediate arpeggiation.
The fastest, most acurate pitch tracking (monophonic) to date running on the most efficient algorithm (FLL) on ARM processor. FM input is fast enough for audio levels making FM synthesis an exciting option.
ENV follower
Full dynamics options include compression / expansion of 1:2, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 and 8:1 curves. Dynamics curves are gradual and smooth without a set threahold (vari-mu style) for ultra transparent compression of the ENV follower.
VCF option with all dynamics options applicable to the VCF ENV as well.
Preamp section
Hi Z option bump up impedance to 2M ohms (guitar amp territory), switchable HPF of 75Hz / 150Hz, auto-gain function for instant gain setting, manual gain is possible as well, preamp out at modular level (pre-out will not include the dynamics).
VCO mode
Will seperate the preamp from the internal synth engine while keeping the pitch tracking and all CV outputs running the same for external analog synth control. The internal synth engine will stay controlled only from the P-shift encoder and the FM CV input 1V/oct with its quantizer options.
Digital expansion module option
Can be paired / clustered with a MIDVertor E1 module providing it with digital connectivity to MIDI in/out as well as grouping with up to 6 additional ConVertors to act as 1 synth or multiple groups.

Firmware is updatable via SD card.
Currently receiving pre-orders for a new batch. Shipping Q3 2023.
