Description
Create unbelievable effects for your Eurorack modular setup with the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP, a cartridge-based open-source digital-sound-processing and effects-generating platform that provides lush audio processing, greater stereo depth, and a unique set of digital synthesis tools.At the heart of the Z-DSP beats a stereo digital sound processor with 24-bit sampling and 15 kHz of bandwidth. The module offers voltage-controlled parameters for stereo feedback, DSP parameters, equal power crossfading dry/wet mixing, as well as sequential program control switching and a clear display. The clocking input for the DSP chip does wonders to passing sound by bending the algorithms in an unexpected ways, a hardware technique computer plug-ins can t do unique to the Z-DSP. The module ships with two DSP cards and a ribbon power cable.At a Glance Cartridge-based open-source digital-sound-processing and effects-generating platformLush audio processing, greater stereo depth, and a unique set of digital synthesis toolsStereo digital sound processor with 24-bit sampling, 15 kHz of bandwidthVoltage-controlled parameters of stereo feedback, program switching, DSP parameters, equal power crossfading dry/wet mixing, as well as sequential program control switching and a clear displayDedicated clocking input for the DSP chip changes the sampling rate of the ADC and the associated speed that the DSP is processing data.

The cartridge contains 8 original reverb algorithms custom designed for the Z-DSP and the Eurorack environment. Voltage control over reverb decay, tone, and modulation allows the user to create reverbs ranging from small rooms to large halls to near-infinite decays.The Halls of Valhalla brings the artifacts of fixed point digital signal processing to the forefront, resulting in a thickness and warmth that evokes the classic digital gear of the 1970s through the early 1990s. The goal of the algorithms is not to evoke physical environments, but rather to create unreal spaces that range from subtle to bombastic, light to dark, with a lushness that turns simple input sounds into rich orchestral washes. The Halls of Valhalla brings the Valhalla DSP aesthetics into the hardware world: Minimalist interface, Maximalist sound.DragonFly Delay MKIIDragonfly MKII is a set of eight voltage-controlled time-based delay effects for the Z-DSP. MKII features advanced delay programs with added filters and additional taps, spicing up the original set of Dragonfly programs.With up to 1000 ms of delay time and feedback control on each program, the Dragonfly MKII is perfect for deep, stereophonic, spacey washes of sound covering all delay effect duties within a modular and more.The external feedback loop on the Z-DSP lets you feedback through other modules like filters and VCAs, or just about any other module, to further process the Dragonfly repeats.Hook up an oscillator for a variable clock of the DSP processor chip to mess up the algorithm s processing speed, shifting from clear digital repeats to grungy lo-fi warbles. This is where binary DSP bits meet up with the organic analog circuity of the Z-DSP. Eurorack Ready 28 HP Eurorack format moduleMaximum depth: 1.0" (25mm)Includes power ribbon cable with Eurorack power headersPower
