GinnungagapVoices with Halls of Valhalla Reverb for Tiptop Z-DSP

"Another demo of the upcoming Halls of Valhalla reverb cartridge for the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP.

The first part of the recording is the Arturia Microbrute, dry, playing a simple sequence. The second part is the same sequence, but with the Mix on the Z-DSP set to 100% wet. The Halls of Valhalla is set to the Ginnungagap algorithm, with decay set fairly low, and tone and chorus set almost the whole way up."

TEST SERIES PART 1 Tiptop Audio Z-DSP Roland VG-99 Guitar Synth Eurorack

Published on Sep 18, 2018 Outsider Sound Design

"PART ONE
Tiptop Audio Z-DSP with Roland VG-99 Guitar Synth.
Cards used in this video are Time Fabric, Halls of Valhalla, Bitrot, and Dragon Fly 2.


The purpose of “TEST SERIES” is to focus on the sound design possibilities of various gear combinations when pushed to the extremes. This series is not musical nor does it serve as an instructional video. It is all about sound potential.

CR Hex Mutant Patch

CR Hex Mutant Patch from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"Patch experiment using the Tiptop Circadian Rhythm in group looping mode. I first went in and programed 8 different patterns for each of the 8 groups. Each one was setup at 4 x 16 sequence. So for this patch I had 64 patterns playing top to bottom. I improvised different mutes on the fly, and used the fill function on various channels to repeat pulses/gates at different times. The master tempo was set to 154 then dropped and shifted down to 120 towards the end of the video.

A Circadian Rhythms composition features Valhalla Z-DSP Shimmer

A Circadian Rhythms composition features Valhalla Z-DSP Shimmer from Tiptop Audio on Vimeo.

"Description of patch:

Left case has two Circadian Rhythms in Syncbus mode, driving everything in that system, including all the drums and the hi voice. The hi voice is a one Z3000 goes into a Z2040 and then into the Feedback inputs on the Z-DSP. the Drums are mixed in the MIXZ and the output is going to the Z-DSP In 1 and 2, and also to the external mixer mono in. So basically the Z-DSP gets both the Hi pitch voice and the drums at its inputs. The Z-DSP uses a prototype of the new Shimmer card from Sean Costello at Valhalla DSP. This makes everything lush and full and is a beautiful new set of algorithms. On the right case two Z3000 are mixed and FM one each other, they go into the Z2040 which is controlled by a Z4000 Envelope, the audio from the Z2040 goes into the Z-DSP running the Dragonfly Delay program 2 for a nice big stereo image. The Z8000 in the left case provide pitch for all voices, the Circadian Rhythms in the right case provide sequencing for the voice in the right case.

The Bass drum is made by mixing both the BD808 and BD909 together in an external mixer.

Everything is recorded stereo in to a DAW using the amazing Apogee Symphony, no editing or any effects in the DAW."

New Synth Gear and Makers in January 2015

After this year's massive New Years post, I thought it might be interesting to see how many new makers and new gear announcements we received in a single month.

This may or may not become a monthly theme on the site depending on interest.  If you think it's worth while, leave a comment.

At a high level we had 12 new makers, one new old maker previously never featured on the site, and a whopping 193 new synth related products. Check out the module list below.  The list is a combination of what was either announced or released this month.

The list in order of appearance:
