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.

TipTop Audio ART Modules


video upload by Luca Longobardi

"Last series of tests before the imminent commercial release of the Tiptop Audio ART modules.
In this session, of which I recorded a small jam, I configured the system so as to have a good comparison on polyphony tracking.

One of the two ATX1 analog oscillators (bass line) is managed via CV through the ART V/Oct Quantizer, the other analog oscillator and the digital one (Vortex) are instead managed via Midi, all via the Korg Sq-64.
The Roland S-1 is routed in the Morphagene, the Just Friends uses the Mutable Instruments Ripples Resonance to ping it on the melody line entrusted to the digital oscillator and the Pladask Elektrisk Dradd adds some glitchy vibes via its Tape function. TX-6 for delay."

Buchla / TipTop 245T Sequential Voltage Source - updated


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I really felt I needed to edit and reupload this one. A Buchla 'pulser' is something different. I knew that, but I forgot because they sound like squares and PWM. But they're actually squares with little envelopes which makes them ideal to ping a filter or LPG. So I had to set this right and add some scopes. Thanks Rainer D for your information!

In essence, the 245T may be one of the earliest sequencers in synthesizer history. The first one ever was desgined by Raymond Scott in 1951. Buchla's 245 design (1970) originated from the 145 (1964) and Moog's sequencer was conceived in 1968. So it's a bit like a dinosaur compared to modern superpowers like the DAW and Eurorack gear with big displays (Vector, Westlicht, Eloquencer, etc). So the 245T is the opposite of advanced. And yet, it can really bring any rhythmic patch (in any system) to life. It can be amazing with a sequential switch and a quantizer. It's going back to basics, but these basics can render amazing results. It's a real Buchla."

Moog Subharmonicon Semi-Modular Synthesizer Sounds (with DFAM)


Published on May 11, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"The Moog Subharmonicon has been anticipated since it was the synth built during the 2018 Moogfest Engineering Workshop. It is finally here as a production synth with a few upgrades from the Moogfest version. This production version has midi, a built in quantizer, more envelope controls and a slightly different sequencer section.

The Subharmonicon is built around divider circuits. There are two VCOs that each have two dividers that output frequencies between the base frequency 1/1, an octave below 1/2, an octave and a fifth below 1/3, two octaves below 1/4, two octaves and a fourth below 1/5, all the way down to four octaves below 1/16. The two oscillators and the four subdivisions can be mixed together into six note chords that span multiple octaves, the oscillators then of course go through a Moog ladder filter. There are a pair of envelopes for the VCA and VCF.

The sequencing also works with subdivisions of the tempo clock, there are four dividers that divided the master clock from 1/1 to 1/16 in integer divisions. These four dividers can trigger the envelopes and clock the two four step sequencers. The sequencers can then modulate the pitch of the two main VCOs, or select which divisions the subdividers are set to. Since the Subharmonicon is semi-modular its has a patch bay where different signal and control routing setups can be experimented with. The patch bay also makes connecting the Subharmonicon to a Mother 32, DFAM, or any other semi-modular or eurorack synth easy.

In this video we showed a combination of the Subharmonicon by itself as well as with a DFAM for percussion and with a Cooper FX Outward V2. The sidechain style patch at 5:09 uses a Ritual Electronics Anima Function generator to create the sidechain envelope and the Subharmonicon is going through a Tiptop Echoz delay module.

The Pseudo-Random CD4028-4040 Sequencer


Published on Jan 24, 2019 יזהר אשדות Izhar Ashdot

"This is a DIY Eurorack module (work in progress) using two CMOS chips, creating lovely Pseudo-Random sequences
A CD4040 clock divider's outputs feed the four binary inputs of a CD4028 BCD to Decimal converting chip, creating pseudo-random sequences, depending on different CD4040 outputs feeding different CD4028 BCD inputs.
input-output patching is done with a mini patchbay on the module.

Participating Eurorack modules: Ladik QUantizer, Tiptop Z3000 VCO, Z2040 Filter, DIY Envelope, DIY 606 Kick, Omsonic Pixeldust HH."

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."

Sea People - Hardware / No DAW Jam #36


Published on Sep 6, 2018 Jay Hoskins

Title: Sea People
Genre: Electronic Melodic Ambient Downtempo
Artist: Rite Rain Causality - Jay Hoskins

In this track the Tonestar 2600 provides the bass line sequenced by the Timbrewolf. I wanted to try longer patterns in the eurorack so all four channels of the Timbrewolf are used and switched through a sequential switch. The gates are independent of the cv and generated by the Turing machine. The Minilogue provides an initial pad and then a melody is recorded live into the sequencer. The circuit is doing drum duty and additional bass reinforcement. Finally the MS-20 is adding some lead pads. Delay and reverb are from the Flashback and Hall of Fame.

Played live without a computer and recorded directly from the mixer outputs.

TIPTOP BASS PATCH


TIPTOP BASS PATCH from Station 252 on Vimeo.

"Heavily modulated bass patch using one Z3000 oscillator with other two cross modulating each other and the filter parameters. The final output is processed with a Fold Processor and filtered with Z2040 low pass filter and a VCA on the output. A couple of Z4000s are modulating the filter frequency and the VCA. Z8000 is used to sequence the main oscillator's shape and a parameter on the Z-DSP as well as the main oscillator's pitch. Quantized and manually transposed by QuantiZer. Triggers by the Trigger Riot and Circadian Rhythms. Effects, as usual, are Z-DSP based."
