Weston Audio H1 Analog Harmonizer Eurorack Offical Demo

Love a quantizer that outputs a trigger when the note changes

An amazing concept that seems to have been implemented very well and with lots of thought. Two questions: 1)How is the tracking of external audio frequencies when the incoming waveform is complex? 2) How is the v/oct tracking of the internal dual oscillators when using them as standalone oscillators/voices in more conventional patches? Really considering this, and I can see it added to the rack in the near future 😄

Thanks for the nice comments! As far as your questions go, 1) It is only meant to work with clean periodic waveforms, so if it's very complex, it will get confused and have ...interesting..results :). However, if you have something that is pretty clean like a bass guitar and filter it a little bit before entereing H1, it works pretty well. I tried it was a bass briefly and it was not bad. If there's other harmonic content (like a chord or 2 notes or some crazy wavefolding) there's no way it can derrive a single pitch from this. 2) It is good tracking over about 7 octaves within 2-3 cents, so pretty good! And very stable. They make a great regular VCO for set and forget type stuff.

@@westonprecisionaudio Really appreciate the reply! Have RTFM meanwhile and found out about the clean waveforms for pitch tracking. Can't argue with physics! Very glad to hear about the oscs tracking so well. Using them as 2 additional bread and butter oscs when not needing the harmonizer capabilities is exactly what I was contemplating when I asked about the tracking. Great to hear, and in usual fashion you already thought about that as well. This one is on the shortlist for future additions now. :) Main use case will be not to harmonize a fundamental, but to harmonize another upper voice in a chord to provide melodic movements, appogiaturas, passing tones and the like on a top voice (already quantized by another unit). :)

Man this is nice. I want it in my rack. Keep building.

You are BRILLIANT. I must have this asap. I’m blown away at the imagination put into this.

[@westonprecisionaudio]

Well, thank you very much. That is a very nice thing to say!

[@sillyworm]

I'm agreeing w 4986..when will this be available?

[@westonprecisionaudio]

@@sillyworm Thanks so much! It's coming pretty soon. Wealread started making production units but ran into an issue that is taking a bit longer than expected to debug.

[@ranzee]

Nice work !! I can see a lot of uses for this :)

[@MatsEriksson-p9w]

....wow!

[@chrisoctane]

Excellent!! Could you build a matrix mixer for this so I can use 2 of these as a quad FM operator?

[@westonprecisionaudio]

That's an interesting idea.! Will have to think about that, but that does seem like a neat usage.

[@chrisoctane]

@@westonprecisionaudio Much excite. Please ping me in some way if you follow up on it. Your quantizer in this module will add lots of potential for fancy FM ratios
