Tiptop Audio: Z2040 LP-VCF Gets a New Look

Tiptop Audio: Z2040 LP-VCF from Tiptop Audio on Vimeo.

"Tiptop Audio: Z2040 LP-VCF (4-Pole Voltage Controlled Filter)

http://www.tiptopaudio.com

Music by ANGLE

The Z2040 is our redesign of the most famous analog filter from the poly synths of the 80’s and features Tiptop Audio’s signature lush, big and creamy sound. Its frequency sweeps make thick bass lines and leads with great dynamics.

When modulated with audio frequencies through its various inputs, the Z2040 gets quite colorful and is capable of creating so many new sounds and textures as the forces of the incoming waves and their harmonics all blend through the filter’s non linear circuit.

When set with Resonance feedback fully up, the Z2040 transforms into a pure sine-core VC-Oscillator, great for making snappy percussive elements and whistling sounds.

A look under the hood will find that the heart of the Z2040 is a discrete design 4-Pole Low Pass filter with a similar core to that of the SSM2040 Filter chip used in the 80’s Prophet 5 Rev 2 synthesizer, and its brother the SSM2044 used in the famous early EMU samplers and PPG synthesizers of the 80’s. Both filters are considered by many as 'the best sounding filter ever.'

The Z2040’s four modulation inputs are built to handle CV and audio signals, enabling deep modulation of the filter core and passing signals.

A VC resonance input is provided to modulate and even clip the sine wave produced by the filter feedback loop.

A Frequency Modulation input (FM) provides dynamic filter sweeps and the unique VC-FM index allows modulation of the incoming FM signals.

On top of that, the Z2040 comes with an audio VCA that can be configured to act upon the input or the output of the filter."

Tom Oberheim Two Voice Pro: Excerpt from Yesterday Afternoon

Published on Oct 10, 2016 darkenergymedia

"While the New TVS Pro is a 'reissue' of the TVS of the classic SEM sound of the 70's, there are a few details that have transformed this instrument - once destined to sit atop a Hammond B-3 or in a multi-keyboard rack, the new TVS feels really at home playing with my modular systems, providing handy pitch and timing reference, and it makes a nice compact master keyboard for playing polyphonic synths without having to fire up the DAW.

ABOUT THE VIDEO:

The Tom Oberheim TVS Pro plays sequence #1, while supplying clock to the modular systems' sequencers.

- a Karp hi hat
- a Wiard kick
- a Tonestar grand casa
- MiniMod Bass
- Elements chunk
- Serge funk
- 2 Roland MKS 80 Super Jupiters pad, played from TVS Pro Keyboard Local OFF.

- a Wiard Pedal tone
- Wiard mayhem

- Serge and Nebulae suspense

The music in the video is performed live, without overdubbing or editing - special thanks to Anthony Baldino for sprucing up the mix before the shoot.


Thanks, Tom!

VOLTLIFE: Synthrotek ADSR percussion

Published on Oct 10, 2016 VOLTLIFE: Synthrotek ADSR percussion

"A quick demo of using Synthrotek's new ADSR module (see my previous video for a full demo: [posted here]) to shape noisy percussion sounds.

Like many people, I normally just use an AR envelope for percussion, since it's simple and snappy. But for some sounds such as claps and pseudo-gated snares with a sustained portion, an ADSR gives you the ability to carefully shape the initial hit, noisy sustain and release. VC control over the release and whole ADSR time allow for varied percussion sequences.

The ADSR is driven by short gates out of a Pittsburgh Game System, and it opens a Pittsburgh dual VCA. The VCA is fed with a mixture of two noise sources (band-passed white noise and a Braids in CLKN mode) and a nasty FM tone (a Rubicon pulse through-zero modulated by a Dixie II square). In the last part of the video I mult the ADSR output to the Rubicon's FM index to give it more dynamism."

Studio Electronics ModMax Filter N.I.B. SN 1072

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The ModMax series included the Filter, Phaser and Ring Mod. These pedals are packed with features that take them beyond the realm of typical pedals. For one thing, they include a full complement of features such as an Attack-Release envelope, LFO waveforms, and frequency and resonance controls. For another, they can be set to respond to dynamics in your playing, making them considerably more interesting than your standard effect pedals.

Some major features of this pedal include low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes for utmost versatility, positive and negative modulation, effect soak (Drench) for dramatic effect-level distortion, three methods of triggering the LFO (normal, one shot —for auto-wah—and envelope key trigger), and three LFO waveforms: triangle, square, or sample and hold. See below for the full list of features."
