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 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."

TipTop Audio Quantizer

Published on Feb 7, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Tiptop Audio Quantizer is quantizing the sequence from the DU-Seq to changing scales with a note offset added with the slider. The synth is made of the AQA UP73R-VCO, Z2040 VCF, ALM Pip Slope and it is run through the WMD DPLR delay."

Tiptop Audio Quantizer lullaby

Published on Jun 17, 2015 Tiptop .Audio

"Testing the tuning of our new Quantizer circuit. Playing manually on two of them, controlling four Z3000 passing through Z2040. All mixed up in MIXZ and sent to the Z-DSP running Halls Of Valhalla. Drums from 808 drum modules. Everything is sequenced from the Circadian Rhythms."

New Tiptop Audio Quantizer & Circadian Rhythm Eurorack Modules in the Flesh

Two pics via StromKult I believe from the recent workshop in Berlin.

"The circadian rhythm will be a very complex step sequencer with 8 by 8 plus 8 multi colored buttons and more that makes it very easy to use as Konstantin Gervis could show live in a workshop at Central Music around the corner now.

The second one was an even better looking module – the quantizer, that unfortunately could not have been explained too deep nor showed as good as the sequencer because the time became short. There was so many other hot stuff by tiptop audio to be explained and performed in the workshop, but we will check the remaining details very soon."

Tiptop Audio Modular Synthesizer Jam 4

"did a pleasant melodic jam on Tiptop Audio's Station 252 + upcoming Quantizer + Circadian Rhythm

a loose wire cut off the audio a tad -- a negligible circumstance given the awesome patch ;)

Cheers!"

Tiptop Audio Systems - patch 8

Published on Feb 19, 2015 Tiptop .Audio

"Two systems, actually one and a half, the second system is only half full. Two Z-DSPs and few Z3000 and the beautiful Halls of Valhalla. One DragonFly delay is VC over time from the Z8000, All sounds are played from the Circadian Rhythms, and one MIXZ mixes everything before hitting the z-DSPs. Coming out of the systems with two stereo pairs from the Z-DSPs and one mono from the BD909. There are two Z2040, one for each of the sounds played, and modulated at audio rate by a Z3000. At the center of the black system are two Quantizer prototypes that I’m using in Keyboard mode."

Mu5ca diN3 late night modular patch bonus track for RiSP HD

Published on Jul 5, 2015 DETUND™

"Modular track I recorded late last night. Everything clocked from one intellijel Dixie to a Doepfer A-160,161, MakeNoise Brains, Pressure Points X 2. Clock division gates sent out from the 4ms SCM, and RCD. Beats courtesy of the CycleBox II and TipTop BD808 kick. Make noise phonogene processing the cwejman S1 analogue percussion zaps. String layer and and lead created with a Cwejman VM-1 and VCO2RM with the help of a intellijel uScale quantizer/MMF-1/ washed through a bit of reverb from the Eventide Space, and Tiptop Z-DSP, Z-5000. finally the Op-1doing light sine tone sprinkles...
Get the full download of the track on the digi-release of RiSP

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."

New modular case's maiden patch. from noise source on Vimeo.

"Newly installed Tiptop Audio power in a case designed by Andreas Wetterberg with woodwork and rail construction by Monorocket. Initial patch utilizing an Intellijel uScale quantizer feeding two Hertz Donuts with the B output of the quantizer being shifted by a Bubblesound uLFO synced with an 808 for good measure. only post addition was a tiny bit of Audio Damage Dubstation."

TipTop Audio Z8000 Ping Patch

Published on Sep 15, 2017 xtal

"This is just a simple ping patch with some tricky modulations.
Livewire Vulcan and the Turing Machine+Pulses provide multiple clocks for the different rows of the TipTop Z8000 Matrix sequencer.
Serge VCFQ and Serge Wave Multipliers are the audio generator and processor.
The Z8000 controls the patch...
Horizontal Snake sequencer , fed into the QuantiZer , controls the frequency of the VCFQ , that is pinged by the Turing machine pulse.
Row 2 modulates the clock of the Vulcan
Row 3 controls the direction of the Vertical snake sequencer
Row A controls the amount of Fold of the Serge Multipliers.
Vertical snake Sequencer controls the VCFQ VC Q

The manual tweaking are limited to :
the VCFQ VC Q to achive a different decay time
the manual amount of Fold in the Wave Multipliers"
