Bastl Pizza + AFL Pixie x Make Noise Multimod

video upload by Liminal Pulses

"Starting a new series where, the focus isn't on one particular modules details on sound and how it works, but a focus on pure sound, melody and patch experimentation. A song, a track, something to play in the background while you work. A longer version of my instagram sketches.

Here I have the ‪@GlasgowSynthGuild‬ Octone and the ‪@EricaSynths‬ Black Sequencer running the ‪@afterlateraudio‬ Pixie and ‪@bastlinstruments‬ Pizza, through the ‪@nano.modules‬ St Font filter and Serra ADSR, with the above modulated by the ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬ Multimod, with EVERYTHING effected by the ‪@busycircuits‬ MFX and ‪@tiptop-audio‬ Z5000.

Buchla 259t exploring sounds with explanation

video upload by VoxModula Archives

"The Buchla 259t by Tiptop Audio is my favourite complex Vco, in this video I am exploring its sounds with some explanation. The timbers and all the modulation of this modules are just incredible! Let me know what you think of it in the comments."

TTA/Buchla 248t MARF Testing

video upload by peff

"Testing the TipTop Audio / Buchla 248t module. The 248t has eurorack level CV/Pulse outputs as well as the ART serial data outputs to drive modules that will receive ART note data. This configuration has a TTA 259t controlled by the ART signals and the Buchla 208c Easel Command controlled by CV/Gate (v/oct scaling).

The module is pretty massive - 72hp."

259t Timbres | Buchla Tiptop Just Sounds

video upload by VoxModula Archives

"A focused sound exploration of the 259t oscillator within a Buchla Tiptop modular system.
No talking, no explanation — just raw timbres, subtle modulation, and evolving textures recorded live.

This session explores the tonal range and character of the 259t through continuous patch interaction and dynamic sound shaping.

🎛️ System used
• Buchla Tiptop modular system
• 259t oscillator"

TipTop Buchla 200t

video upload by Oxix52

"I sold off my 200e system about 3 years ago. I recently put together a TipTop Audio 200t system. It's been pretty fun. This is a short play with the 259t as the only audio source. I used one non-Buchla module--the Intellijel Springy 2. It's mono output is being sent to the 296t to make it stereo."

Tech Talk: Vera Grace - How Modular Gear Shapes Her Hypnotic Techno Sound (Electronic Beats TV)

video upload by Telekom Electronic Beats TV

"For this Electronic Beats Tech Talk, we visited Dutch DJ and producer Vera Grace at her home in Amsterdam. With a background from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, she has developed a distinct techno identity rooted in experimental sound design, modular exploration, and hypnotic rhythms that bend your sense of time. Her dive into modular synthesis reshaped her creative process, leading to a fully live analog setup she now brings to the stage. Shifting fluidly between broken beats, ambient explorations, psychedelic textures, and driving 4/4 energy, Vera continues to push her sound forward while staying connected to techno’s foundations."

TipTop TRIAX-8 Polyphonic Thru-Zero FM Oscillator - What is TZFM?

video upload by gattobus

"Here's a quick presentation and audio demo of the new TipTop Audio TRIAX8 Polyphonic Eurorack Oscillator.

00:52 - What is THRU-ZERO FM ?
03:45 - XOR Waveform
05:45 - Music Performance

This video is sponsored by TipTop Audio"


"Meet the TRIAX 8 , an oscillator like no other, featuring 16 analog triangle-core oscillators with full note polyphony and patching. The TRIAX8 is a landmark in synthesis technology, combining true polyphonic patching and full note polyphony with the creative and joyful hands-on workflow of a modular synthesizer. Every function has its own knob, and all modulation inputs are ready for patching with patch cables. Beneath this interface lie 16 true analog oscillators, real circuits built from semiconductors, capacitors, and resistors, each one alive, drifting naturally with temperature and with the magnetic and electric fields they generate. This is the sound of analog: full, warm, organic, and never the same twice.

In this demo, we showcase just a glimpse of what the TRIAX8 is capable of, and how easy it is to design sounds through instant patching. We focus mainly on pads and drones, with a touch of arpeggios. A note about video sound quality:
YouTube plays compressed audio, which significantly affects sound quality. Compared to the original recording, the audio will generally sound muddier and harsher in the highs. However, it still provides a good sense of the character and tone of the demoed device.

Patch Overview for this video: For modulation, we used the OCTOLFO to randomly patching LFO signals into the TRIAX 8’s CV inputs. The audio output was routed through the OCTPASS 24 dB low-pass filter and then into the OCTOGAIN. From the OCTOGAIN’s stereo outputs, the sound was sent to the Z-DSP, where some patches feature reverb or delay from the Z-DSP. For control, we played notes from Ableton through the Octopus, or used G-Mode sequencing on the Octopus and NerdSeq."
