TIPTOP ONE: Selecting files with CV

TIPTOP ONE: Selecting files with CV from Station 252 on Vimeo.

"Testing the new (1.4b) firmware for the Tiptop ONE that adds adjustable CV/Trigger delay.

Some sequencers will not output CVs and Gates/Triggers at precisely the same time forcing the super fast and precise ONE to play sample that was selected by CV on the previous step. The available Short / Medium / Long delay times can be select with Config file.

In this video: Triggering ONE loaded with DOTS with Verbos Multistage and later with ER-101. Sometimes manually offsetting the playing group of files to play other files with the same sequence. In both cases using Medium delay setting. Both sequencers were not playing nicely with ONE before, but as you can see its super stable and reliable now."

Tiptop Audio Forbidden Planet as an Oscillator

Published on Jan 7, 2019 Station 252

"Patched Tiptop Audio Forbidden Planet VCF as an Oscillator. Other than the BD808 it is the only sound source. I run it through Fold Processor and ModDelay Panning Taps on Z-DSP. It is pinged by gates and triggers from Circadian Rhythms (Into Low Pass Input) and by Z4000 envelope (into Hi Pass) triggered from another CR track. Z8000 into QuantiZer into full range CV input. Other Z4000 modulates Fold. Z3000 modulates attack on pinging Z4000. By mistake I patched QuantiZer out also into Band Pass input on Forbidden Planet which surprisingly created weird timbre change that I liked."

Musica Automata - Music for Computer Controlled Robots

More acoustic than synth, but you can't help but think of the creation of sound coming full circle. We've come from real world acoustic instruments to synthesis, to the automation of synthesis, and now, the automation of real world instruments. If you'd like to fund this project you can do so on Kickstarter here. This one was sent in via Piero of TipTop Audio and Station 252 on Vimeo.

From the Kicstarter campaign:

"Musica Automata is a name of an upcoming album by Leonardo Barbadoro, an Italian electronic music producer and electroacoustic music composer from Florence known also under the alias Koolmorf Widesen. The album will include music for robots controlled from a laptop computer.

These robots are more than 50 acoustic instruments (piano, organs, wind instruments, percussions etc) which are part of the Logos Foundation in Gent (Belgium). They receive digital MIDI messages that contain precise informations for their performance.

Musica Automata is a multi-sensorial experience where the listener can hear and view where the sounds come from; one can observe the robots and find a precise correlation between the movement of the instrumenst and the sound perceived.

The robot music performance, due to its extreme precision, can often surpass the ability of a human performer and, therefore, introduce completely new expressive possibilities. However next to the precise digital controls, the real performance and acoustic sound of instruments playing in a real acoustic space is preserved. Despite this particular instrumentation in fact, it’s the music that leads the instruments and not the opposite; the emotional impact of the music is still there due to the versatility of the robots, which are not limited to mere artificial reproduction.

It’s a performance that comes from a human idea, however devoid of direct human contact with the instrument. This means that the conceived musical idea, once processed and translated into MIDI language, is executed by robots without losing its artistic value in any way."
