Products of Sonic Potions

Sonic Potions is run by Julian Schmidt, currently located in Schwärzelbach, Germany. I started getting involved in the SDIY scene around 2001, building my own synths as a hobby. Over the years I've build a lot of stuff, including some of the Midibox machines, modular gear, a simplesizer, the xoxbox and several circuit bending projects. I've been producing music since the mid 90's and have been playing several shows with my project 'A Boy and his SID' around 2005. Some of my tunes can be found at Soundcloud. In 2008 I made my engineering diploma (Dipl. Ing) in media and computer science at the THM Gießen/Friedberg on the topic of generative wavetable synthesis. Before founding Sonic Potions, I worked for several years as a developer in the music industry on projects including the Scope DSP platform and the John Bowen Solaris synthesizer.

Sonic Potions - Descent

only 2 left

Descent is an analogue dual envelope generator. It provides 2 independent voltage controlled decay EGs. The envelopes can be switched between triggered or gated (sustain) mode. The first trigger input is normalized to the second one and each channel provides a LED to visualize the envelope signal. The shape of the envelope can be adjusted between lin/exp with a trimmer on the back of the PCB. Decay times are adjustable between a few ms up to several seconds.It comes as a complete kit with all needed parts to build it. That includes a multi colour aluminum frontpanel, high quality jacks and smooth 9mm metal pots.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy.

Sonic Potions - Mal-2

only 2 left

Mal-2 is a random signal generator mainly intended as CV modulation source. It has 2 modes of operation to provide you with smooth random goodness. Imagine Eris herself lends you a third hand to keep your patches interesting.In the first mode the CHANGE knob morphs from a cubic interpolated (sine like shaped) random signal to a random walk function that could make a wallstreet broker delirious with joy.In the second mode the CHANGE knob sets the self similarity. On the minimum setting the signal is completely random. On the maximum setting the random sequence is locked to a repeating, identical 8 step sequence. In between the sequence seamlessly morphs to new shapes over time.This gives you a random CV where you can shape the bounds in which the chaos unfolds and goes far beyond a slew limited white noise.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy.

Sonic Potions - Penrose

available

Penrose is a very nice CV quantizer DIY kit for the eurorack format. It takes an incoming continuous CV voltage and converts it to the nearest note in a scale. Active notes can be selected with the 12 buttons. You can use it to tune the output of your analog sequencer, as a semi random melody generator, for fast chiptune arpeggios and much more. It comes as a complete kit with all needed parts to build it. That includes an aluminum frontpanel, high quality jacks and illuminated bi-color push buttons. The project is open source, so the schematic and source code is available.DIY-Kit-Type:THT-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. Only trough-hole parts to solder. Make sure to check the build guide before you buy.
