Eurorack Pitch-Tracking Synthesizer

US Sonicsmith introduces ConVertor E1 15/12/20

Sonicsmith has unveiled the ConVertor E1, which they say features an ACO/VCO pitch tracking, expandable oscillator alongside a feature-rich, studio preamp. Here's the details in their own words...

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.
