Tiptop Audio Featured In Call of Duty: Black Ops II Sound Design

Pictured: Sound designer Shawn Jimmerson with his Tiptop Audio Modular (pic via gameover.gr - Googlish here).

The image below is via VentureBeat where you'll find a full post.

"Brian Tuey (pictured middle), audio director at Treyarch (the Activision Blizzard game studio that is making Black Ops II), said in an interview with GamesBeat that 'going into the near future with this game meant something completely different.' Making new sounds is all part of trying to bring innovation to a game series such as Call of Duty which has had many iterations that took place in the past."

To the right (Brian's left) is Chris Cowell, lead sound designer at Treyarch, and to the left is Shawn Jimmerson.

Regarding the device Brian is tinkering with, "The team was resourceful and relied on cheap creations [Not the Tiptop system! :)]. They created an oscillator (pictured in the middle) that you could touch and short-circuit to produce different kinds of crazy sounds."
