TipTop Polyphonic Modular + ASM Hydrasynth : "Entangled State" by gattobus

video upload by gattobus

"This track came out of the blue while I was playing and experimenting with TipTop Audio Poly Modular System and my ASM Hydrasynth.

This patch sounds organic and deep, a perfect blend between analog and digital!

I loaded a custom wavetable on TTA Vortex 6 then I set up a classic signal path going through the poly filter (TTA Octopass) and the poly vca (TTA Octogain). Then I added some external modulations coming from Hydrasynth CV outs, which turned out to be the best keyboard controller for this incredible system!

Star of the show is TTA Resonator that adds a very organic and ethereal texture to the entire patch!

These are the modules in my system:

Vortex 6 Oscillator
ATX-1 VCO
Octopass Poly Filter
Octostages Poly Envelope x2
Octogain VCA
Octopus USB/MIDI interface
Octo I/O
Octovert
Resonator
Z-DSP 'ZVRB 80' Card.
Mantis Case (black)"

TipTop Audio Polyphonic Modular System - "Calypso's dream" by gattobus

"This song was born playing around with TipTop Audio ART Modular System.
This system is so inspiring! It gives you the flexibility of a modular but at the same time the playability of a classic synth.

It's a dream come true for me.

Special thanks to Gur Milstein for giving me the possibility to play it in advance!

These are the modules in my system:

Vortex 6 Oscillator

QMMG vs 292T vs Sosumi vs Centaur's Gate

video upload by Stazma

"Ok so after talking making the "favorite sounds of the QMMG" video I had some requests about making a shootout between it and the 292t from Tiptop Audio & Buchla.

I decided to indulge AND to add two other recent lpgs to the table with the Sosumi by Nekya Circuits, a small 4hp, knobless, dual LPG inspired by the original Buchla 292; and the Centaur's Gate by Shakmat, that does MUCH more (multi mode filters / VCA, with preset recall) than all others but does have an internal analog vactrol emulation that I wanted to check out alongside the others."

Tiptop Audio Officially Releases ART Line of Eurorack Modules

via Tiptop Audio

"Today, we are celebrating the release of the first set of ART-equipped modules, marking the first time this technology is ready for purchase. We are starting with the release of the ATX1 Analog VCO, Vortex Digital OSC, Octopus USB/MIDI interface, ART V/OCT Quantizer, and Control Path dual analog envelopes plus VCA.

On our website, we have dedicated the ART landing page as the knowledge base HQ for ART. There, you will find plenty of educational videos, module video manuals, and uploaded video playlists of music filmed during beta testing. ART is simple to use and easy to understand, and with those videos, we made sure all aspects and potential misinformation have been addressed. Additionally, more information is in the process of being added in the coming days for both DIY enthusiasts and module makers on how to implement ART, including a free reference design that adds ART to Mutable Instruments Braids and Plaits.

The creative process of making music on a modular synthesizer is a unique tactile and aural experience. With ART modules, we are entering the territory of tunable instruments and polyphonic multi-timbral compositions but with the sound design power and immediate interface of a modular synthesizer. The initial release focuses on the mono VCOs that you can use to build voices quickly or combine for discrete polyphony. Very soon, we will extend the lineup with the fully polyphonic ART modules and the release of the Polytip patch cable."

ATX1

A classic all analog saw VCO core with 3 switchable modes, ART, 1V/Oct, LFO and is recommended as the basic building block for ART systems. It is designed for patching analog polyphonic synths from discrete modules or multi-mono patches in ART mode. When using ART the ATX1 takes care of the tuning including accounting for temperature changes. In 1V/Oct mode the ATX1 runs as a standard old school modular VCO. LFO mode drops the frequency range and is great for patching vibrato to other ATX1s among other things. The ATX1 outputs variable waveshapes with manual or CV control. Classic FM, PWM and hard sync are provided. A dedicated Gate Out in ART mode manages the voice envelopes or any modulation synced to that voice. We consider the ATX1 the best sounding analog VCO we ever created.

Buchla TipTop + Strymon Starlab // More than just blipblops

video upload by Dexba

"I wanted to be more regular with the uploads, but it turned out life always gets in the middle. But here we are: the most analog waves coming from the Buchla by TipTop Audio lineup crashing against the digital Strymon Starlab shore.
The setup is comprised of a double 258t (oscillator), one of which is producing the chords you've heard at the beginning, while the other is on modulation duty.
The main interest of the patch was going into the Starlab already in stereo, so the two channels of the 257t are used as mixers between Left Osc + Sum and the other Right Osc + Sum, in order to have stereo bouncing around more as an accent, rather than being too abrupt, all of this controlled by the S/H coming from the other oscillator going into the 266t. The infamous 292t gets to work both as a summing mixer and a normal VCA.
The extra two voices you hear (the higher one and the very low one) are from the oscillators used for the S/H process, which I tuned to be useful twice too!
Hope you'll enjoy it! 🧡"

Tiptop Audio & Buchla - Fake Delay & Bouncing Ball

video upload by Stazma

"Hello there!
Today I'll share with you a classic modular synth patch that I really enjoy using, it's also a great exercise to get a feel for how VCA's and envelopes can work together. It's actualy just one of the many ways you can patch this, wich will use any sound source (258t here) with the 281t, 257t and 292t as the main building blocks (you can of course patch this with similar modules). I like it in the Buchla contect as you can play with 292t modes and get different sounds this way.
Anyway, I hope this will be helpful. Have fun."

All hail the 292t Buchla & Tiptop Audio

Modular Synthesizer jamming with Tiptop Audio

video upload by OVERLAP

"in this video I'm particularly focused on showing what kind of organic sound you can get from one sampler player modular, the fun part started when I include the Buchla Dual Oscillator (out) patch into Fold Processor wave Multiplier (in) an then patch to Forbidden Planet Analog Filter to VCA ( Voltage Controlled Amplifier), and of course the Z4000 Voltage Controlled Envelope Generator help a lot to shape the sound of the Buchla, adding in top the Z-DSP VC – Digital Signal Processor for feedback delay."

'Endroll' - Ryuichi Sakamoto (From "The Last Emperor") Eurorack Modular Rendition

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching and enjoying it!
This project took me a super long time to finish, as I had to transcribe the entire piece by ear and then split the midi into individual monophonic tracks so that my MicroMidi Module from Intellijel can record each layer one by one.

For each layer, I ran uMIDI directly into Mutable Instruments Rings and split it into three voices using a buffered multiple 1U module. The first voice was going directly out into VCA, and the second and third were going stereo in and stereo out from Mutable Instruments Clouds, and then into the VCA. The gate was sent out from uMIDI into the TipTop Audio x Buchla Quad Function Generator 281t, and into Strum input on the Rings. Both Rings and Clouds were being modulated by the Instruō/ DivKid Øchd which was sending all the LFOs into a variety of destinations. In Ableton Suite 11, I mixed everything. Adding Shimmer and Supermassive to tracks that needed it as well as FabFilter EQ and Limited for maximum sonic compatibility. Each track was performed separately in regards to the desired dynamics and articulations from the original score which I was referencing, but not following exactly.

Analog Four, JV-880 & Modular Synths | Live on MIDI Channel 13

"The Analog Four synth (out of frame) is pulling double duty, both sequencing the analog modular (pictured) bass sequence as well as playing some additional melodic sequences. The Octatrack is just passing through MIDI coming from the Push 2 grid controller through the RME Fireface UFX (out of frame) onto the Roland JV-880 synth that is right above the modular synth and is responsible for warm synth pads being played live over the modular synth and Analog Four.
