    It’s the same octave pitch, ie one octave below your input signal. The two voices (girth and growl) are EQd and filtered differently. Girth is a lowpassed subby kind of voice, whereas the growl is a thinner, square wave kind of affair. There is a volume control for each so they can be blended to taste. The dry simply adds the original signal. The mid switch adds a mid boost (there is an internal switch to toggle between 400hz and 850hz and a trimpot to adjust how much boost is applied). There is no octave up on this pedal.

    Not the best showcase but…

    On the Squaver it seems like the input LPF has been modified to auto follow the input but the silk screening doesn’t reflect this so I guess they modified the internals but still have a supply of casings to use up.

    The chip used in the pitch detection is unique here so I’m keen to see if it’s an improvement on current stuff.

    Indeed. Elsewhere on the site it says “tracking within a cycle or two) so that could be 24-48ms at the low end. But for standard octaver type use (playing an octave up and pitching down) it’ll probably be useable (much like my Subterranea but this Sonicsmith has more functionality with the CV ins and outs).

    Have you tried an MXR BOD? That is something great which reads from pitch to create a synthesised voice and it’s tracking and latency time is just fine. So pitch could work. If these track as well as that then I’ll be perfectly happy with it. I need to try in person to form a proper opinion on them.

    Monophonic is just fine for bass as far as I’m concerned.

    I wonder if Sonicsmith would consider just making a product which had the pitch-to-CV convertor with the gate and pitch outputs in it.
  9. Quatschmacher
    Basically one could run the audio out and envelope out from the Convertor into a Moogerfooger lowpass filter (with an inverted envelope if so desired) and that’d be a pretty fine synth sound right there.

    Did you check out their Convertor pedal? It does most of what the Squaver does but doesn’t have the extra VCF. On their Facebook page there’s a demo of them using it with a guitar to control a Moog Minitaur. They also appear to have 40% off at present so the Convertor is £225 and the Squaver is £397. Also, they’re based in Poland so no import duty! I really need to give these a go.

    I’m uncovering a whole host of enticing stuff. Pedalboard-friendly audio controlled oscillator synths: https://sonicsmith.com/

    How did I not know this was possible? MS-20 has a built-in pitch-to-CV converter! This means one can play synth with the bass using the pitch and trigger cv.

    If you set the Micro Synth to an upward sweep (start frequency low, stop frequency high) does it only sweep upwards and then hold at the stop frequency or does it sweep up and then back down again like an envelope-controlled filter?

    There are a few videos from NAMM with the IR bass: @CameronJ, @Al Krow, @GisserD, @Bo0tsy, @lee650, @tonyxtiger

    Thanks for your reply. I’m sorry you had such a bad experience with them.
  16. Quatschmacher
    @elephantgrey, @Kev, you both own one of these, or have done. What are your thoughts on this pedal?
  17. Quatschmacher
    Italian- or Indonesian-made?
  18. Quatschmacher
    Anyone on here got one of these? I’m looking to get one but they are taking ages to get new stock made and shipped. Care to share your views on it?
  19. Quatschmacher
    You’re welcome. Hope you get sorted out.

    @Urban Bassman has a wanted ad up for one of these.
  22. Quatschmacher
    I do like the idea of the sculpted heel; that’s a thing I love about my Sterling. I’m not too bothered about any of the other changes though. I’m GAS-free on this one.
  23. Quatschmacher
    Well, I answered my own question by getting one. Sadly it was a bit disappointing. Probably OK on guitar or if you only need slow-attack sounds. For snappy basslines in the lower registers it was pretty useless. I returned it (and am still waiting for my refund from GAK).
