Top 3 Favorite Modulation Sources Picked by Our Pals Omri Cohen, Stazma, and The Unperson.

video upload by Perfect Circuit

"Modulation is one of the most important aspects of a modular synthesizer: it's what makes your sounds move and change over time. It's the way that you take control of your sounds. It's the way you bring sounds to life.

So picking the right modulation sources for your music is critical—but there are a LOAD of options out there. We reached out to a few of our friends to hear what THEIR favorite modulation sources are, and how they use them in their music...and this video is what they had to say.

Stereo Patch From Scratch with Panic Girl featuring XPO, Buchla 258t Dual Oscillator and the Touché

video upload by Perfect Circuit

"Eurorack modular synthesizers are embracing stereo sound in new ways—over the last few years, we've seen a ton of stereo-oriented modules come out from top brands like Make Noise, SSF, and plenty more!

In this video, Panic Girl walks us through a stereo patch on her personal system, featuring the Make Noise XPO, Mimeophon, and the Tiptop Buchla 258t Dual Oscillator. This mix of mono and stereo modules makes a great learning ground for getting into the stereo mindset—so grab some headphones, tune in, and space out!

TipTop Audio About Their Revolution: ART | Superbooth 23

video upload by Thomann Synthesizers

"One of the disadvantages about Eurorack certainly is Polyphony - and then there was ART. Three simple letters but perhaps the change many of us have waited for. Tiptop Audio´s ART aims to be nothing less than a patch cord revolution. At the Superbooth 23, the manufacturer showed us the new format. Chords, melodies, harmonies and polyphony in the Eurorack - all over a single cable. According to TipTop statements, they have been working on ART for over ten years. There are also first concepts for ART-compatible modules."

Superbooth 2023: Tiptop Audio - 296 Spectral Processing Module & Cables

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Gur Milstein from Tiptop Audio at Superbooth 2023, where he showed us their recreation of the Buchla 296 spectral processor module. The 296 has 16 bands, each of which have three bandpass filters, which are extremely narrow and amplified so it's not your typical EQ, but rather a sound design machine with all those inputs and outputs and its internal cross modulation for vocoding and beyond.

296 Spectral Processing Module Available: Summer 2023

Price: TBC"

Superbooth 2023: Tiptop Audio - Art - Polytip Cables


"We met with Gur from Tiptop Audio to find out about their latest project called Art. Art produces a signal they’ve been working on for over a decade that fixes the tuning problems of Eurorack systems. With Art, they can link multiple modules together and play polyphonically. This led them to develop discrete polyphonic synthesizers that can be built from separate oscillators and filters, and they also revived the Vortex 6, a fully polyphonic module which is a clone of the PPG wave 2.0 with 8-bit converters from the '80s and has six built-in oscillators. Vortex 6 can use their newly developed cable, the Polytip cable, to patch the audio out from the Vortex 6 into the audio in of the octopus filter.

With the Polytip cable, they can patch up to eight signals that carry all the signals, such as the eight filters, eight envelopes, and six VCAs of the modules. This opens up a whole new world of sonic possibilities and Tiptop are continuously working on this project and plan to release more modules that use Art in the future."

Welcome to ART - New From Tiptop Audio

video upload by Tiptop .Audio

"The first thing ART does is establish a new signal in Eurorack systems, just like CV Gate and 1V/Oct now we add ART. ART is not just a new signal but allows for development of previously impossible products that pass through traditional barriers and make Eurorack more capable. An entire product line of ART based modules is in development at Tiptop Audio right now as shown at Superbooth 23. We can’t wait to get it to you, but we still have an intensive beta testing program to complete before release.

To learn more about ART please go through the ART section on our website where more videos, manuals and information is available. ART modules will start shipping when ready, so feel free to let your dealer know you are interested. [see the dealers on the right]


And now let’s jump back to the 70’s. We took the opportunity at Superbooth to show two new modules from Don Buchla’s 200 series: the 296t and 207t. Model 296t Programmable Spectral Processor is a beast that has taken us a long time to bring to the Eurorack format. We were even able to fit it into a Mantis case! Right now, we are in the process of getting it into production and then out into the world. Words cannot describe the sonic quality of this module!

The second module is model 207t Mixer/Preamplifier, another classic and a great companion to the 296 for vocoding. It’s also a nice 6 channel mixer with great features like CV panning.

We are excited about our new products and are looking forward to getting everything to you as soon as possible. Please stay tuned."
