Description
SynthForSale proudly features Synths & Workstations, a name synonymous with quality. The TipTop Audio – FSU Card Bundle for Z-DSP stands out as a refined and capable piece of gear, designed to inspire.
FSU is heavily on the experimental side. Like TipTop’s FSU FX module the FSU cards for Z-DSP takes in audio and F#@% S#$^#^ UP. The first three cards are Distort, Glitch and Sound on Sound a creative set for turning any input signal into something entirely different. But in addition to those three card we have included a bonus fourth card, a re-issue of Error Codes, one of the very first cards released to the public by a third party DSP programmer, Rolf Wöhrmann, who is now Waldorf Music CTO. The card’s last algorithm has been altered by their own Chris Clepper to make it match the current version of the Z-DSP as well as the older ones.
Included cards:
- Distort:
This bank distorts the incoming audio in various ways from emulations of analog tape and fuzz distortion to ring mod and frequency shifting. Important Note! All of the programs in this bank are designed to work with the Mix set to 100% wet (full clockwise). Interesting effects can also be made with varying amounts of dry signal mixed in as well. - Glitch:
This bank of algorithms uses a variety of delay and pitch techniques to introduce glitches and warp the sound.
Most of these work best with 100% wet output (Mix knob at full clockwise) to get the maximum glitchy effects. When the dry is mixed in they can also create types of chorus, delay and tremolo effects as well. - SOS:
The key to using these programs is to only grab shorter chunks of sound which can be done manually, but an envelope generator (AR, ADSR) can help with controlling and triggering what is recorded.
At the highest Fidelity there is only 1 second of memory but lowering the DSP clock increases the recording time and changes the pitch of the recording. Fidelity is pretty critical to these effects.
These programs need to be set to 100% wet mix for maximum effects. - Error Codes:
Error Codes is a reissue of one of the first commercially available cards for the Z-DSP, and is included as a bonus set of audio mangling effects to complement the FSU bundle.
