Tiptop Audio's Z5000

If you remember this post, TipTop audio was looking for some beta testers for a new product they were developing. It looks like Muff Wiggler signed up. You can find the full scoop on Muff Wiggler and of course Tiptop audio.

Some words from Muff:
"the Z5000 is a voltage controlled, stereo multi effects processor, powered by a 24bit/48khz DSP. This is the first DSP-powered VC'd multi effect device I'm aware of that's been designed explicitly to work within a modular synth - it's built to handle the signal levels found in all modulars (with lots of headrooom), and obviously gives you CV control over the effects themselves. On board the module are 16 different effects 'programs', 13 of which are voltage-controllable. This all results in a really nice hybrid of analog and digital - providing some of the unique advantages of DSP, within the typically analog structure of a modular synth."

  3. It looks like it only has one CV input, which means it isn't any more CV-controllable than a multitude of DSP boxes with footpedal inputs.
