Tiptop Z8000 + Sequential Switch

Published on Apr 10, 2018 ZV_K

"I new about the existence of sequential switches for a long time and recently finally had a chance to try it out. I was so impressed with the results that I bought two Doepfer A-151 Quad Sequential Switches. Those little gems are an amazing addition to Tiptop Z8000 sequencer

This video is the first patch I came up with.

Z8000 - 4 vertical 4 step sequencers are connected to the first A-151, they share the same clock and are simultaneously reset to 3 steps by the Tiptop Trigger Riot. The output of the sequential switch is connected to Tiptop QuantiZer which in turn is driving Z3000 oscillator.

Circadian Rhythms - channels 5-8 are connected to the second A-151, the output of which is driving a pair of Z4000 VC ADSRs for The VCA and Filter FM.

The Sequential switches are reset to 8 step by the Circadian Rhythms.

The voice is quite simple: Z3000 sine wave - Tiptop Fold Processor (fold is modulated by a sine wave doepfer LFO and the offset is modulated by the horizontal 16 step sequence from Z8000 slewed by Make Noise Math) - Z2040

The bass drum is Tiptop BD808

EXPRESSIVE E TOUCHE + EURORACK MODULAR ~ Will They Pair? Ep.33

Published on Sep 22, 2017 once upon a synth

"In this video I pair the Expressive E Touche controller with a eurorack modular. I'm using the 4 CV outputs on the back of the Touche to modulate various parameters like the LFO speed on the Make Noise Maths and the various parameters of the Make Noise Morphagene. I also turn the Touche into a gate generator using Maths.

The basic patch involves a Z3000 oscillator (TipTop Audio) run through the Fold Processor and Z2040 filter. The Z8000 sequencer is run through a Quantizer and everything is controlled by the Make Noise Tempi which triggers the Z8000 and a Z4000 ADSR envelope generator."

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"

A COLLECTION OF EURORACK MODULAR JAMS ~ Make Noise, TipTop Audio, Mutable Instruments, OTO Machines

Published on Jun 28, 2017 once upon a synth

"Jamming and improvising on my eurorack modular synth. There are few different jams in this one. I ran the whole thing through an OTO Machines BAM for delicious reverb. The main sound sources are the TipTop Z3000 and One. I then feed those through the 2040 and VCF-74 filters. The Z3000 is also run through the Fold Processor. The main sequencer is the Z8000 which is first quantized with the Quantizer before being fed to control the Z3000. The Make Noise Tempi is driving the Z8000 and the Z4000 envelope generator which is turn is modulating the Z2040. The Make Noise Maths also helps to modulate the Fold Processor parameters. The drums and percussion sounds are a combination of the Peaks in drum mode and the One sampler.

The drum sounds are stock samples that come with the Digitakt. The main modules I used are the TipTop Audio Z3000, Z8000, Z4000, Z2040, Fold Processor, Quantizer and the Make Noise Maths, Morphagene and Tempi."

TIPTOP AUDIO QUANTIZER TUTORIAL ~ Eurorack module

Published on Jun 21, 2017 once upon a synth

"This is a tutorial of the TipTop Audio Quantizer eurorack module. A quantizer is a module which takes continuous control voltage and outputs a quantized 1V/Octave signal which you can patch into an oscillator. You can then configure custom musical scales so you can turn an LFO into an arpeggiator for example. The TipTop Audio Quantizer has a couple of unique features like a slider which you can assign to various parameters like octave or transpose. It also has a mini note recorder which you can use as a sketch pad to record and loop melodies. It also has a clock input which you can use to clock quantization to synchronize rhythmically."

Yet more patching with my smaller, Mutable Instruments-focused case. Wanted to practice a more ambient, simplistic melody approach, but with "movements" or different sections as variations on a theme.
