NAMM 2013: Tiptop Audio Trigger Riot Full Details & Video!

"The Trigger Riot represents a new type of sequencer that is both creatively deep on one hand and intuitive on the other.

From a conceptual view, the Trigger Riot generates 16 clock streams consisting of multiple time manipulation functions (division, offsets, etc) that interact to create the trigger output, and direct access to each parameter via individual knobs allows for quick manipulation. The 8 outputs are the sum of those manipulated streams per row. The outputs of the module are arranged as either a 4x4 matrix, where each of the 16 knobs affects both row and column, or as a set of independent outputs for each row or column. This allows forming 8 complex musical interactions in a ‘Matrix’ mode or 8 independent streams in ‘Independent’ mode and is switchable from one to the other on press of a button for some unexpected results.

Since each of the 16 knobs represents a real time tweakable trigger generator/modifier the Trigger Riot is extremely playable and can result very complex patterns with only few knob turns; patterns that would otherwise take much longer and in some instances be almost impossible to produce using grid based step sequencing. Patterns can have unique time signatures that can repeat or be randomized through probability, time shifted and phased, divided, multiplied and counted, it’s unbelievable how complex this module can get with minimal input.

Functions include:

Divide: Divide the clock stream into either even or odd divisions from 1 to 255

Speed: Multiply or Divide the clock streams in sub clock particles based on 24 PPQ, breaking up the standard grid values.

Probability: Sets the odds of a trigger firing which makes more varied and less rigid patterns or can create subtle accents and fills.

Pulse Width: Sets the pulse width of each stream, creating overlaps and as a result all kind of odd time signatures; also great for sustaining envelopes or for programming a high pulse fro some time.

Clock Offset: Moves the trigger streams in time to change the relationship between streams. Streams can be set to the same amount but offset to trigger in between each other rather than simultaneously to create syncopation effects.

Time Shift: Shifts the triggers streams variably in between clocks for swing type feels and off the grid patterns.

Step: Places single shot triggers on individual clock ‘Steps’ to trigger events once per pattern. This can also be seen as a pulse counter.

Mute/Sel: Muting of each trigger output for live dub mixing or to select which row to edit in ‘Independent’ mode.

Tap tempo: Tap in your own time.

Cycle: Internal reset counter to constrain pattern length and relationships between divisions

Clock Out: Trigger out of the Riot’s highly accurate internal clock

Clock Input: External clock

Reset Out: Trigger output based on the internal reset length

Reset In: External trigger input to reset the internal count

Playing sets:

The Trigger Riot features 4 banks of 4 presets for saving, and instant recall of patterns with any level of complexity making it a real time sequencer. Patterns and banks are not volatile and can be loaded for stage or studio sessions on power up.

Several riots can be synced together with all control signals shared based on a master reset, clock, and pattern across multiple units and even synced with the Circadian Rhythm sequencer.

In addition to that, a master touch controller is in development which can control up to 4 Riots for the ultimate in hardware sequencing for Tip Top’s wide array of drum and synthesis modules (of course, it works great with every other module too).

A little bit of what going on under the hood: The Trigger Riot is made with the latest in high-end microprocessors and a special combination of hardware and firmware technology designed to achieve unprecedented levels of timing and extreme types of pattern complexity.

Size: 28HP

Engine: State of the art 80MHz 32bit Processor MIPS M4K Core

Available: We are hoping to have it released late march 2013, keep your fingers crossed

Price: TBD"

"Circadian Rhythms plays BD808 and clocks Trigger Riot from track 1 to swing it and Z8000 (horizontal snake), which is clocked from Trigger Riot with high probability division of one and 100% probability division of three the same clock also triggers 2x Z4000s (filter and VCA) and the Quantizer. One Trigger Riot out resets the snake and one clocks horizontal ch.4 for transpositions. A couple of presets on Trigger Riot to store variations. At some point, I stop transpositions from the TR and manually change scales on the quantizer. I also manually change octaves with the slider.

Unsung heroes - Tiptop Trigger Riot

Published on May 15, 2020 Signal Sounds

"The focus in this patch is on one of the modules I’ve had in my rack for a long time, the TipTop Audio Trigger Riot. Similar to their Z8000 it’s a matrix of sequencers. It generates 8 interrelated clocks/triggers/gates to drive all of the rhythmic elements of your modular synthesiser.

Here we’ve routed 4 triangle waves from the Snazzy FX Dronebank into the Future Sound Systems VAC1 and the Trigger Riot opens those channels with 4 gate patterns. It’s also providing the trigger sources for the kick drum generated by the Future Sound Systems Recombination Engine and the other voice from the Instruo Cs-L. The output is routed via the mixing desk with an auxiliary send and return from the Echofix EF-X2 tape delay.

Launched a little later than the Z8000 the Trigger Riot seemed, at the time, to be a natural companion to the matrix sequencer. Again, it's a matrix of 8 different sequencers but it outputs clock/gate/trigger patterns rather than variable CV sequences. The most interesting thing I've found with it on my rack for years now is how effortless it is to create seemingly complex rhythmic sequences. The Trigger Riot lets you write patterns over the top of patterns that interweave to give you a wonderfully intricate web of rhythms that all work together with one another. I've often looked at other trigger sequencers to see if I can replicate what Trigger Riot does in a smaller form factor but I've never found anything that could replace it. For me it is, without doubt, one of eurorack's unsung heroes.

Tiptop Audio Releases Trigger Riot Sequencer

"TIPTOP AUDIO INTRODUCES TRIGGER RIOT SEQUENCER

A Fresh New Approach to Making Beats, Drums, and Other Rhythmic Elements for Electronic Musicians in the Age of Now.

Sunnyvale, CA, June 26, 2013 ­ What happens if you put a clock divider, clock multiplier, step injector, time shifter, clock shifter, pulse width modulator, and an arithmatic probablity proces­ sor all under the control of a single knob? Now what will happen if you fit 16 of those knobs into a single module and have them interact? YOU WILL HAVE A RIOT, A TRIGGER RIOT! With so much going on, simply tweaking a few knobs gets a lot happening on its eight chan­ nels, with sequences building up, interesting patterns evolving, and streams of triggers and gates pouring from the outputs.

The Trigger Riot represents a new type of pattern sequencer that is both creatively deep on one hand and intuitive on the other.

This innovative sequencer is used to compose rhythmic elements in the modular synth in a unique method and way that has never been used before. The Trigger Riot creates sequences with knobs instead of switches, with the knobs able to be used independently or in Matrix. The concept takes a bit to get used to but in the end is very simple to understand, the TR gener­ ates or takes in a clock signal, each of the knobs can be used as the Programmable Clock Divider (divider), Clock sequencer (steps), or both to generate streams of triggers and gates at the outputs.

As a highly accurate clock source it has 8 outputs, each output can have up to 4 clock divi­ sions and each of these divisions can be assigned a probability of triggering, clock shifting, time shifting, fractional clock multiplication and pulse width. Additionally, each output has 4 steps that do not repeat like a division.

Not only are all the quick manipulative functions at your fingertips and the playability instanta­ neous, but you never have to worry about it going obsolete with the ability to upgrade with USB firmware.

Other features include: non volatile memory for patterns, syncronization with external gear, smart syncronization of multi­Riot setups, din sync with vintage x0x boxes, an internal precise tempo clock generator, tap tempo, preset looping, sequencing of independent channels or cross relationship matrix sequencing for some real trigger madhouse.

It can be used to time any modulation source such as the Z4000 envelope generator, Z8000 CV sequencer, and many others but also to trigger our complete synth voices and drum mod­ ules in tandem, creating the world’s first fully modular drum machine: the Tiptop analog groove generator of the new age.

TipTop - Trigger Riot - Probability Percussion Patch

TipTop - Trigger Riot - Probability Percussion Patch from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"First experiment using the TipTop Trigger Riot sequencing euro rack module. The patch was setup up running in independent output mode. Each output was set to random valves based on a 32 step sequence. The idea was to create 8 regenerative output channels that would be then sent to the TipTop 808 BD, Snare, high hats, and clap. The outputs all have specific varying degrees of probability selected. Additional triggered voices from the Mutable Instruments Braids (Pads/Cloud Synthesis) and Edges (Noise output) running through the Synthesis Tech mini delay. Drum outputs summed into one intellijel mixer then sent to the MakeNoise Phonogene for light granular processing. This entire patch was sequenced on the Trigger Riot clocking at 198 BPM. Reverb swells courtesy of the Eventide space.

Tiptop Z8000 + Sequential Switch Videos by Station 252

Tiptop Z8000 + Sequential Switch part 1 from Station 252 on Vimeo.

"I new about the existence of sequential switches for a long time and recently finally had a chance to try it out. I was so impressed with the results that I bought two Doepfer A-151 Quad Sequential Switches. Those little gems are an amazing addition to Tiptop Z8000 sequencer

This video is the first patch I came up with.

Z8000 - 4 vertical 4 step sequencers are connected to the first A-151, they share the same clock and are simultaneously reset to 3 steps by the Tiptop Trigger Riot. The output of the sequential switch is connected to Tiptop QuantiZer which in turn is driving Z3000 oscillator.

Circadian Rhythms - channels 5-8 are connected to the second A-151, the output of which is driving a pair of Z4000 VC ADSRs for The VCA and Filter FM.

The Sequential switches are reset to 8 step by the Circadian Rhythms.

The voice is quite simple: Z3000 sine wave > Tiptop Fold Processor (fold is modulated by a sine wave doepfer LFO and the offset is modulated by the horizontal 16 step sequence from Z8000 slewed by Make Noise Math) > Z2040

The bass drum is Tiptop BD808

Tiptop Audio Trigger Riot And The Gang

Published on May 1, 2013 GM1ify·28 videos

"The Trigger Riot triggers everything, the drums, the envelopes, the Z8000 sequencers, the Z8000 direction. The 808/909 drums goes through Clarky CGS grinder and then through Cwejman ring mod controlled by the Z8000. The Piston Honda and Z3000 both are controlled by the Z8000."

And an update on the status of the upcoming Trigger Riot:

"Hey all, yes it's May and I wish i had better news, but the Riots are still in assembly and not yet ready to ship. The good news is that the delay gave us more time to add features! Right now we are adding DinSync both in and out so the Riot can either be a master or slave to xox machines. We also added preset looping, this thing just gets deeper and deeper. The price is not decided yet but will most likely be $500, hopefully we don't have any surprises when we get the bill from the assembly house. So hold on just a bit more, there will be a riot soon."

"Tiptop Audio Trigger Riot is an absolutely essential module in my system. In this video I use it as a clock and reset source for my Z8000 CV sequencer, trigger and accent drum modules and sample players, trigger envelopes, clock delays, ping filters, automate algorithm switching on Z-DSP, start and stop loopers. In all the patches Trigger Riot is the only source of gates and triggers, all played live - no overdubs!"

3 increasingly weird ways to program a TR-606 module (but keep it satisfying)

video upload by mylarmelodies

"This is a blend of: A 606 clone eurorack module demo (the LPZW/Tubbutec 6m0d6), and a tutorial - laced with tips and tricks - exploring three increasingly weird ways to trigger and modulate (drum) modules in general - using Gate & CV, Trigger Riot, and sneaky tricks in Ableton Live & MIDI. The overall theme is: Keeping the results 'musical' and satisfying.

We'll also make a generative sequencer with the Mutable instruments stages and use it to control the excellent Doepfer A-111-6. We'll drive it with the Music Thing Mini Drive. We'll turn the Tiptop Audio Trigger Riot into a modulation sequencer. We'll then use Ableton Live and we'll absolutely smash this thing to bits with some simple but very interesting methods to get completely wild patterns, that would take a LOT of modules to do in analog-land.

Happy days."

Intellijel Metropolis Sequencer Based on RYK Roland System 100m M-185

Metropolis Scrutineering from DUDADIUS on Vimeo.

"First go around with the Intelljel Metropolis. This is a pretty basic setup; I didn't get into using the aux inputs to modulate things within the Metropolis. I'll try that next! As you can see though, the Metropolis really lends itself to performing and improvising. Very hands-on and easy to go all sorts of crazy ways, melodically. Similar to the Rene, in that regard, but from a totally different point-of-view.

Patch notes. Pamela is sending clock to Metropolis, Trigger Riot, Modcan Dual Delay, and Sound of Shadows.

Metropolis is sending the same note info to three different oscillators. The third one going through a uScale first to create intervals. All going into the Dubmix. The Trigger Riot is controlling Tiptop drums, mixed through a VCA Matrix then an M277 for a little grit. That's into channel 2 on the Dubmix, where I add a little Spring Reverb at one point.
The kik and snare are ultimately doubled with the Cwejman BLD and DPO. Lastly, I dialed into some sustained notes on the Pressure Points and a Modcan Triple OSC. The uStep is advancing the Pressure Points.

I had some troubles with the Trigger Riot losing sync when I would change presets. I'll have to delve into that some more."

Note the RYK M-185 was a DIY sequencer from RYK, not Roland. See the RYK channel below for more.

Regarding the Intelijel Metropolis, the following is some info via PatchPierre.Net, via Pierre on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"One of the most interesting modules i have seen in a while has been sent out to various testers in the last few weeks. The Intellijel Metropolis is a Eurorack sequencer, based on the RYK M-185 sequencer from the early Roland M-100 series. This module has always intrigued me, and i was always hoping someone would bring this style of sequencing/programming to the Eurorack. Intellijel worked out an agreement with Ryk earlier this year to create this only official Eurorack adaptation of his brilliant sequencer design...

Some of the features :
-Sequencer modes:
Forward, Forward-fixed, Reverse, Reverse-fixed, PingPong, PingPong-Fixed, Random, Random-fixed, Brownian, Brownian-fixed
-TB-303 style slide (constant time portamento) with adjustable time
-Stage skipping (double click slide buttons)
- Internal quantizing with selectable scales and keys
-Can act as a master clk with BPM control or slave to an external (using clk src function)
-Save/load panel settings
-shuffle
-Internal clock divider
-Sync output (sets output pulse on last clock step of a sequence, used to slave other sequencers via reset)
-Two assignable AUX inputs which can control: gate length, transpose, key shift, root shift, sequence length, and step divisor.
-config menu to set slider pitch range, clock div type, clock offset
-tap tempo when in internal clock mode and tempo lock with bpm detect in external mode.

-All menu actions are one level deep. i.e. press the menu button and spin the encoder.
There are no hidden levels or sub menus."

Audio Damage - GrainShift/Errorbox/DubJr - Patch1 from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"First late night jam with the new Audio Damage effects for Eurorack. Everything is being triggered/clocked via the Tiptop TriggerRiot. Kick drum source is the Cwejman BLD running into the "ADM02" Grainshift, turning the kick drum into granulated mush.

The analog hand-clap from the Din Sync DrumDokta DRM-110 running into the "ADM01" DubJr Delay. Which is being strangled and mangled by one stepped output from the MakeNoise Wogglebug, which is also being clocked from the Trigger Riot. One sine output from the DPO running into another Optomix, triggered by channel A from Trigger Riot for synthetic double style FM high-hats, which is running into the Errorbox being slightly degraded and crushed. CV inputs Pitch and Chaos on the Grainshift controlled by erratic CV plot movements from the Rene sequencer (also clocked from the Trigger Riot). Bouncing ball effect from the MakeNoise Maths V2 channel output one, from FM Intellijel Rubicon, then sent to intellijel Planar for panning zigzag movements also being controlled by Maths V2, channel output 4. Drones running from the Mutable Instruments Braids into the Eventide Space reverb pedal fully wet mix. "

Tiptop Trigger Riot & drum modular synth

Published on Oct 1, 2013 vcoadsr·3 videos

"Here's a spur of the moment, very raw un-edited, jam of the @tiptopaudio Trigger Riot & 808/909 modules.
The Trigger Riot (TR) is performing most of the triggering duties (ALM's Pamela's workout is synced to the TR and triggering the BD808 module). The pitch of the BD909 is being modulated by the Z8000 as well as the HATS909. The CP909 is being routed through the Makenoise Echophon."

Trigger Riot got a new face

Tiptop .Audio

"The Trigger Riot is a multipurpose trigger module that makes ultra complex patterns of gates triggers and clock pulses. The Riot covers a lot of ground in any Eurorack system from the master clocking for your entire system to algorithmic generation of pulses for envelopes, step sequencers, drums and accents that can venture into highly complex territory driven by simple yet powerful logic and algebra with a dash of pseudo random- ness for some unpredictable results."
