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.

Digital

This synthesiser employs digital technology to produce sounds, offering a wide range of features and capabilities. Digital synthesis allows for complex sound design, including extensive modulation options and the ability to emulate various acoustic instruments. With its precision and versatility, this instrument is perfect for modern music production, live performance, and creative exploration.

Digital Piano

A digital piano is a modern electronic keyboard instrument designed to replicate the sound and feel of an acoustic piano while offering additional features and benefits. Unlike acoustic pianos, which use hammers and strings to produce sound, digital pianos use sampled recordings of high-quality acoustic piano tones or synthesized sounds to generate sound digitally.

They typically feature weighted or semi-weighted keys that simulate the feel of a traditional piano, as well as built-in speakers for amplification. Digital pianos often include additional features such as headphone outputs, MIDI connectivity, recording capabilities, and various instrument sounds and effects. These versatile instruments are popular among pianists and music enthusiasts for their compact size, affordability, and flexibility in both home and performance settings.

New

This product is brand new, unused, and in its original packaging. It has never been opened or used, ensuring you receive it in pristine, factory-sealed condition, just as originally manufactured.

It is ideal for those who want the assurance of a fresh start with their gear.

USB

Having a USB connection provides crucial benefits for modern musicians and producers, primarily related to connectivity and workflow. USB enables a direct link between the synthesizer and a computer, making it possible to transmit MIDI data seamlessly without relying on traditional 5-pin MIDI cables. This connection allows the synth to function as a MIDI controller, sending and receiving MIDI signals to and from a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). As a result, musicians can easily sequence and record their synth performances, automate parameters, or even use the synth to control virtual instruments within the DAW. This streamlined setup saves time and reduces the amount of cabling and interfaces required, creating a more efficient studio or performance environment.

In addition to MIDI capabilities, USB ports on synthesizers often support data transfer and software updates. This means users can back up and restore patches, download new firmware updates to add features or improvements and manage their sounds with dedicated software. For some portable or compact synths, USB connections also offer a convenient power source, allowing the synth to draw power directly from a computer or USB battery pack. This combination of data management, connectivity, and power makes USB-equipped synthesizers a versatile and practical choice for musicians seeking flexibility and ease of use in their setups.
