Tiptop Audio - Octostages (ART)

Octostages from Tiptop Audio brings authentic vintage shaping to your polyphonic patches with eight analog envelope generators derived directly from the classic 1979 OBX synthesizer.

Each envelope channel provides complete connectivity with dedicated Gate inputs, Envelope outputs, Velocity CV inputs and Attack time CV controls, all with visual feedback through LED indicators. For global envelope control, the module features a master level knob and CV input using standard mono jacks, allowing dynamic changes to all eight envelope amplitudes simultaneously. Despite incorporating eight complete analog envelope circuits, the Octostages maintains remarkable power efficiency to fit comfortably into any Eurorack system.

Features:

• Eight analog envelope generators based on the 1979 OBX
• Gate in, Envelope out, Velocity and Attack CV controls through ART cable
• Output LED indicators for visual feedback
• Master output level control with CV input

About ART:

• ART is a new control signal
• ART modules are Eurorack modules and use Eurorack signal levels for oscillator audio and gate/cv controls, same power connector, and are designed to blend into any Eurorack system.
• ART control has precise pitch information as well as performance data about the note (velocity, mod and pressure)
• The ART signal is high speed for near zero latency Building upon the potential of the new ART signal a new generation of modules
