Tiptop Audio has introduced the first modules from their ART polyphonic Eurorack line, plus their new Polytip patch cable.
A spokesperson told us, "ART is a new set of ideas, a paradigm. At the heart of it is the new ART control signal. Building upon the potential of the new ART signal a new generation of modules that had never existed before are now coming to life and give breath to possibilities we could only dream of prior to that."
Here's more details direct from the company...
Polyphonic synthesizers like the Jupiter 8, OBX, PPG Wave, CS-80, Juno 106, and others have defined the sound of electronic music for generations. Yet, their internal oscillators, filters, and modulators have remained locked inside their metal enclosures. Now, for the first time, these elements are available as modules that can be patched however we like, with endless combinations and mixes, offering sound design and synthesis possibilities previously unavailable. And it's all standard Eurorack size and power - ready to go into any rack.
Vortex6
A six-voice polyphonic oscillator that uses six vintage 8-bit converters similar to those found in the PPG Wave--this module is all about the sound. In detune and sub mode, a second oscillator per voice is added. Morphing through the waves is achieved with six ASR envelopes. It also supports user-loaded wavetables and includes plenty more featuresOctopass
