Tiptop Audio - Vortex - ART Wavetable Oscillator
- Order number: 240110
VORTEX is an ART dual wavetable oscillator that can be used to create polyphonic patches and multi-voice patches.
The harmonically rich sound is created with two 80's vintage D/A converters that feed your filters and effects processors. VORTEX comes with dozens of wavetables, and additional user wavetables can be loaded from the SD card on the front panel. A detune knob controls the second VCO and adds effects from deep phasing to a sub-octave. The position knob and CV input select the waves in the tables and the vibrato of the LFOs to create FM. As with other ART sound generators, a dedicated gate output controls the envelope of the voice or a modulation synchronized to that voice.
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
Originally based in California and now operating from Thailand, Tiptop has been around for over a decade, providing some of the first effects in eurorack (Z5000), a whole line of 808 and 909 drum modules, clever sequencers and affordable cases. Their Z-DSP is probably one of the best effect modules available, with countless exchangeable cards.
