Tiptop Audio is a leading manufacturer of modular synthesizer equipment, known for its innovative Eurorack modules and powerful sound systems. Founded by Gur Milstein, the company has become a staple in the modular synth community for its versatile and high-quality products, ranging from oscillators and sequencers to effects and drum modules. One of their most popular lines is the **Z-DSP** (a digital signal processing platform), which offers a variety of effects cartridges, allowing users to experiment with different soundscapes. Tiptop Audio also offers well-regarded modules such as the **Maths-inspired MISO**, **Circadian Rhythms** sequencer, and **Z3000** oscillator.

Tiptop Audio is particularly known for its **909 and 808-inspired drum modules**, which recreate classic sounds of the iconic Roland drum machines. These modules, like the **BD909** and **HATS808**, have become a favourite for artists seeking authentic analogue percussion sounds. Additionally, their **Happy Ending Kit** provides an entry-level gateway for newcomers to the Eurorack format, allowing users to easily build and expand their modular setups. The brand’s dedication to sonic exploration and quality has earned it a loyal following in the world of electronic music and modular synthesis.

Voltage Controlled

Voltage-controlled refers to a type of electronic component or circuit that changes its operation based on an input voltage. In synthesizers and other audio equipment, this principle is key to generating and manipulating sound. Voltage-controlled elements include voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), voltage-controlled filters (VCFs), and voltage-controlled amplifiers (VCAs). These components are fundamental in analogue synthesizers, where different voltages are used to control aspects like pitch, timbre, and loudness.

For example, in a voltage-controlled oscillator, the frequency of the sound wave (and thus its pitch) changes based on the control voltage applied. Similarly, in a voltage-controlled filter, the cutoff frequency can be adjusted dynamically by varying the input voltage. This voltage-control mechanism allows for highly expressive and dynamic sound shaping. It also enables modulators like low-frequency oscillators (LFOs) and envelope generators to interact with these components to create effects such as vibrato, tremolo, filter sweeps, and more.
