1) Connecting & powering
User Guide Firmware 0.9
To use the ConVertor E1 you need a -12/12V powered Eurorack case with 6HP
(3cm) available space, one available power connection and 150mA of current
available. Connect the power header cable, screw the panel to the rack using at
least two standard M3 screws. Avoid exposing it to sun, fluids or unchecked
physical abuse/shocks.
It’s recommended to avoid patching any audio signal stronger than +4dBu or
CV signals into the audio input. The audio & CV outputs of this device are
very loud, potentially around 10V scale so always test a signal’s loudness before
patching it with speakers or headphones on by dimming any speakers first.
Thank you for pre-ordering the ConVertor E1.
The ConVertor will convert an analog monophonic audio signal
into its Pitch, ENV and GATE Control Voltage, DC signals to control
external analog synths. It also provides its own internal digital
synth that is always in perfect tune to the incoming audio’s pitch.
It can work by itself with external synths or soon will have an
option to expand to a full synth voice on its own right, via Firm 2.x
series (available soon). You can also expand it via a MIDVertor E1
adding sustain pedal, MIDI i/o, arpeggiation and mainframe for up
to 7 additional ConVertors in parallel.

3) Knobs assignments: default
Turn the P SHIFT knob to increase/decrease the pitch shi
of the internal DCO as well as the CV PITCH output across -2-+2
octaves. Press the P SHIFT knob to bypass the shi back to
unison Press it again to undo/redo..
Turn the GATE knob to increase/decrease the gates threshold by +/- 1dB.
Default GATE threshold is -35 dBFS and will effect the ENV CV output by
shutting the ENV CV to 0V as well as the SYNTH OUT audio off. Connect pre out
using a minijack TS to a +18dBu capable destination like modular synths.

2) Preamp section
Connect a TS or TRS Mic/Inst./Line 1/4” plug into the audio input
If you play a pickup inst. press the
HI Z
to toggle between
analog input HPF frequencies:
Press A-GAIN to activate Auto-GAIN detection. Play loudly
once or twice, and aer 2.5 seconds, the gain will be set and the
meter will go back to showing input levels. The gate will not
effect the PRE OUT levels. To change the gain manually,
push the GATE knob and adjust the gain with the encoder. If you
don’t touch the knob again for 1.5 seconds, it will change back
to controlling the gate threshold.
The PRE OUT is a copy of the same signal going in to the ADC.

SYNTH
Press the SYNTH button to toggle between the 4 waveforms:
GRNOff Red Red
ENV

Press the buttons to engage a 3:1 ENV + A-Gain
compression effect on the internal VCA CV and ENV CV output.
Press them again to bypass the compression.

Download it into a micro SD card and insert it into the back of
the ConVertor E1. Power the ConVertor off, then press &
hold the HI Z + FLT buttons while powering up the unit.
Keep holding the buttons for 2.5 seconds. While flashing, the
meter LED’s to the right will blink one aer another showing
the two micro-controllers that are flashing.

No sound from SYNTH out: Do you see the audio meter go higher
than the first 3 LED’s? If not, turn up the gain and make sure the GATE LED turns off
when sound supposed to play. Try decreasing the GATE with the lower knob.
Press A-GAIN to get enough gain. Check where the SYNTH out is routed to.
Noisy output: Make sure the gate is high enough to allow only intentional
notes through. Plug the PRE OUT and listen to the original audio you are playing
into the ConVertor. Make sure it has a clear pitch and no excessive noises. Try
restarting the units and make sure it has at least 150 mA to itself. Try restarting the
units from external switch or case plug.
Weird behavior: Make sure your power supply can allocate at least 150mA
to the ConVertor. Powering up the unit by simply connecting the power ribbon
cable is not recommended. Try restarting your unit from a main switch or even
disconnecting the glug to from the case. Also try minimizing the use of HI Z with
high gains. The gain can climb higher than a pickup normally needs.
Contact: info@sonicsmith.com for any questions about the product.
6) Troubleshooting 7) Flashing / updating firmware
Press the button to toggle FM input quantizer (light on) Q
This will quantize the FM input to semitone shis from the funda-
mental pitch. Semitone quantization helps with external arppe-
giation from external CV sources like LFO’s and sequencers.
Press it again to turn off the FM input quantizer as
continuous mode (LED off).
