WHAT ARE THEY BUILDING IN THERE?

Here we go again - Bob and Jesse, our two man engineering team, are back in the sound laboratory developing the next Source Audio effects pedal. Please feel free to check in on this page anytime for the most recent updates in the development process. And of course, we want to hear your thoughts and suggestions - head over to The Gear Page and join our conversation about the new pedal.

The Source Audio Filter / Octave / Synthesizer Project

First we need to explain the big idea behind our new project. Bob Chidlaw, Source Audio's Chief Sound Engineer, has built a powerful filter / octave / synth architecture for the One Series line of pedals.  The current plan is to release two pedals: an Envelope Filter  (the Spectrum Intelligent Filter) and a Guitar and Bass Synthesizer.  Out of the box both pedals offer a simple 4-knob interface and a choice of three filter or harmonizing effects. However, the pedals share the same underlying program and Neuro Effects Editing compatibility.  Connect either pedal to the Neuro Desktop Editor or Neuro Mobile App and access any of its filter, fuzz, octave, and harmonizing capabilities. Below is a block diagram of the pedal's current architecture. Please keep in mind that all of this is subject to change - like we said, we are still in the development process.

Jesse, our sound engineer, is giving us another sneak peek at the C4 Synth. Just a small taste of what this thing can do. Visit us in NAMM booth 5347/Hall D for a closer look. #sourceaudio #synthpedal #octavepedal #polyphonicpitchdetector #guitareffects #gearybusey

We’re still in the prototype phase, but here’s a small taste of where we’re headed. Come visit us at NAMM booth 5347 for some QT w/ the C4. #sourceaudio #synthpedal #filterpedal #octavepedal #harmonizer #pitchshifter #namm2019 #dafunk

The C4 Block Diagram

Picture
VOICE BLOCKS
There are four Voice Blocks.  Within each Voice Block it will be possible to selects from any of the following Voice Types: Dry Signal, Octave, Mono Pitch Shifting, Polyphonic Pitch Shifting, Synthesizer Sine Wave, and Synthesizer Square Wave. In these blocks you will also be able to select voice level, stereo panning, distortion/fuzz engage, filter engage, pitch modulation, and detuning amount. 

DISTORTION BLOCK
Choose a type of distortion from a long list of Source Audio favorites, including Multiwave, Soft Clipping, Foldback, and Gated Fuzz. Dial in the Drive amount and Clean/Dirty Mix.

FILTERS BLOCK
Choose from any of the filter types developed for the Manta Bass, Stingray Envelope Filter, and more.  Decide whether you want to control the filter modulation with an envelope follower or LFO and set the LFO Speed, Envelope Sensitivity, Filter Depth, Frequency Center Point, and Q.
