Notes: The 3-Tier Mantis Studio Brackets pair lets you connect three Mantis together in a robust and elegant solution. This setup is fixed and is recommended mainly for studio use. The brackets are cut precisely by laser from a sturdy metal and then coated twice for a nice smooth finish that matches the Mantis light gray color. They come with twenty screws and special washers that help hold the screw in place during assembly and keep a tiny gap between the brackets and the Mantis. Installation is fairly simple and takes about 30 minutes to complete.

Notes: The Z-DSP blank cartridges are rewriteable memory cards for use with Numberz and the Z-DSP with up to one million write/erase cycles. These cards are made of printed circuit board material with two memory chips soldered on their bottom side providing a low cost non volatile memory of Z-DSP programs and display data.

Notes: The Dragonfly Delay is a collection of 8 Voltage Controlled time-based, delay algorithms in mono and stereo. This collection includes delays, ping-pongs, multi-taps, and polyrhythmic madness with a variety of controls. Feedback, delay time, L/R ratio, and tap levels are all under voltage control, waiting to bend time and space to create a dynamic stereo image. Those familiar with the sound of tape echo will find the Dragonfly Delay especially appealing - VC will let you turn the soft, smooth and silky into the warble of decades ago.

The Dragonfly is more than just a collection of pristine delay lines under VC. When used in combination with the Z-DSP's dynamic clocking, the Dragonfly Delay will simultaneously bend time, pitch shift, and squash the sample rate, creating complex effects that only the Z-DSP is capable of. Combining analog and digital feedback will make the Dragonfly scream on its own, adding new colors to your sonic palette. The Dragonfly is one of the most interesting sets of algorithms offered for the Z-DSP platform and comes bundled with it.

The Dragonfly Delay contains the following algorithms:
Program 1 - Mono Delay with Low Pass Filter on Feedback
Program 2 - Stereo Ping-pong
Program 3 - Stereo Delay with Independent Time per Channel
Program 4 - Stereo Delay with Independent Feedback per Channel
Program 5 - 3 Taps Stereo Delay Line (25% Feedback)
Program 6 - 3 Taps Stereo Delay Line (75% Feedback)
Program 7 - Stereo In/Out Polyrhythm
Program 8 - Mono In/Stereo Out Polyrhythm

Notes: FFSU is heavily on the experimental side. Like our 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 Wohrmann, who is now Waldorf Music CTO. The card's last algorithm has been altered by our own Chris Clepper to make it match the current version of the Z-DSP as well as the older ones.

FSU Bundle: Distort

This bank distorts the incoming audio in various ways from emulations of analogue 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.

FSU Bundle: 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.

FSU Bundle: 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.

FSU Bundle: Error Codes (Free Card w/ FSU Bundle)

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.

Notes: Granular Synthesis uses small slices of sounds ('grains') to compose new sounds from existing material. By combining multiple grains of differing lengths, amplitude, pitch and speed new sounds are created which are often very different from the original sound recorded in. Xenakis claims to have invented the technique and indeed his 'Analogique A-B', composed of tiny tape splices of pure tones, is credited as the first piece of granular music back in 1959.

In the context of the Z-DSP, a block of memory is set to hold digital samples for playback: he Z-DSP has one second of memory for the audio used in processing. From this audio buffer the grains will sample and modify smaller sections for playback. The number of o rains in the process determine how dense the overall output sounds. These programs have 3, 4 or 6 grains for playback. Each grain plays from a random point in the audio buffer and have an independent envelope controlling their duration. The envelope time is the 'grain size' parameter in many of the programs.

The French phrase for the cartridge is "Grain de Folie" which could be translated as "seeds of madness", but in French "grain" also translates to "grain", and "madness" evokes the strange disassembling/reassembling granular process. Also, "avoir un grain de folie" is a typically French expression to describe people behaving in a non-conventional way, thus a Ming play on words quite nicely describing the unpredictable nature of this set of algorithms.

***UPDATE - MAY 2021 ***
As of May 2021, all Mantis cases shipped have a small update to the design. The connector for SyncBus is no longer included. This connector was never used as Tiptop didn't develop the cable for it, and the connector is no longer in production by the manufacturer so it was removed. The Mantis still has the same power supply and functions as before.

Notes: Mariana Trench is an FDN card for the Z-DSP. Feedback Delay Networks (FDNs) are built around multiple delays which are connected to their inputs thanks to a feedback matrix designed for its stability and lossless properties. FDN can mimic the recursive process of sound waves bouncing back and forth in an acoustic space. They were first suggested for artificial reverberation by Michael Gerzon (1971) and later John Stautner and Miller Puckette (1982) introduced four-channel FDN reverberator with general stability conditions.

FDN can also be used as a special case of digital waveguides, they can be tuned, or also used as complex delays. The Mariana Trench Z-DSP cartridge is designed to explore these more unusual sides of the FDN algorithms. Mariana Trench Z-DSP cartridge is designed by Christophe Duquesne Anckorage - Haken Audio developement team - La Voix du Luthier.

Notes: Tiptop Audio's revolutionary 3.5mm Stackcable is the world's first cable that combines low-noise shielded performance with the convenience of stacking banana cables. The patented Stackcable provides signal splitting directly on the back of the plug, giving you the flexibility to distribute signals without a multiple module.

Stackcables vs Multiples:

The Stackcable opens up a whole new approach to the art of synthesizer patching. Complex signal flow is more visible and easier to follow and you'll never again have to interrupt your workflow to stop, trace back, and insert a multiple. Spend more time concentrating on music making and less time on figuring how to run multiple signal paths. In addition, when comparing multiple modules vs Stackcables, the Stackcables can come out cheaper and provide you with more mult points, whenever you need them, in any configuration, without taking up any rack space in your system.

Stackcables vs Regular Patch Cables:

When comparing the Stackcables with regular patch cables, the Stackcables always keep your jacks reusable no matter how many connections are running to or from a jack. Using standard patch cables effectively "seals up" a jack once patched in, a major limitation in the dynamic workflow of a modular synthesizer. And when it comes to carrying your audio signals, the Stackcable is superior to low-cost patch cables because they are made with heavy-gauge signal conductor and signal shielding, providing both low capacitance, low impedance, and excellent noise rejection. Additionally, by providing shielding from electrical interference, the Stackcable outperforms any other signal splitter at handling audio and control signals in a professional studio environment, keeping both your studio quiet and your modular synth signals clean.

Stackcables Unique Mechanism:

The Stackcable's elegant connectors hide a complex sub-miniature electromechanical design that tightly integrates a 3.5mm plug and a 3.5mm jack together at each end of the cable, all the while handling both ground and signal. This innovative mechanism is what makes the Stackcable a reality, yet it provides an even more compact connector than a single-conductor banana cable. So if you have never experienced stack-ability, then get ready to feel how effortless, creative, and mind- altering your patching will become with these Stackcables.

Stackcables Warranty:

As of July 2017, Stackcables are manufactured in-house under full quality control, allowing Tiptop Audio to provide customers with a 2-year warranty.

Stackcables are compatible with all audio gear that uses the 3.5mm / 1/8'' jack and plug. (Do not use Stackcables with Switchcraft Tini-Jaxr brand jacks.)

Notes: STRIKE: Acoustic Percussion Elements
Format: SD Sample card for ONE Sample Player
Recorded and edited by: Kabuki
Type: One Shot
Character: Percussive, Acoustic

256 acoustic drum and percussion sounds compiled for the STRIKE micro SD card for ONE Sample Player by Tiptop Audio. STRIKE is the ideal sonic companion for analogue oscillators and the sounds found in Eurorack.

All sounds were painstakingly recorded using an assortment of vintage microphones, tracked through an SSL 4000 G series mixing desk then printed to 1/4" analogue tape on a well-serviced Studer A80 machine.

Thanks to this detailed process, the delicate texture of each of the sounds has been retained, inviting straight-forward use or experimentations within the Modular realm.

Notes: TAPE ECHO by Tiptop Audio brings classic tape-based delays to the Z-DSP effects library. Eight expressive algorithms which emulate analogue tape machines and the producers that inspire Tiptop Audio.

With Tape Echo you can do it all - recreate space echo dub sound of Lee "Scratch" Perry and King Tubby or dig deep into the gritty and endless saturated repeats favoured by dub experimenters like Basic Channel and Boards of Canada.

So wide in its functionality, playability and natural in its sound, Tape Echo sits comfortably amongst the greats of the Roland RE-201 Space Echo, Copycat and Maestro Echoplex all while having a unique character of its own.

From wobbly tape to stereo pong, Tape Echo comes with a multitude of expressive settings and presets that allow you to recreate virtually any style of analogue echo or magnetic tape delay or invent your own sound when you adjust the fidelity of the Z-DSP clock!

Tape Echo for the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP is a joy to use. Precision control of the Frequency, Filter and Feedback are clear to read with the Z-DSP display, plus corresponding controls make setting delay times by ear easy and fun to do like its predecessors.

Notes: Cable for connecting multiple Trigger Riot modules

Notes: A full dual processing, with true stereo separation accomplished by using the DSP processor chip as two separate lanes. This card bundle contains four cards, each cover a different territory but all share the concept of dual parallel processing for a true stereo in stereo out effects. These are great for cascading stereo effect modules with the Z-DSP to maintain and enhance the full stereo image. Use it with modules with stereo outs or ins, or use each channel with a different source like two VCOs for spatial experiments.

True Stereo Bundle: Stereo Echo

These delay programs work in true stereo and include BBD, Digital and Tape models for your stereo sources. More advanced programs have modulation, cross feedback or diffusion for more creative.

True Stereo Bundle: Stereo Mod

A group of 8 classic modulation effects that maintain the stereo image of the source.

True Stereo Bundle: Stereo Pitch

This card has a set of programs that use pitch shifting to add depth to the stereo source and include a selection of delay with pitch algorithms too.

True Stereo Bundle: Stereo Filter

A collection of digital models of analog low, high and band pass filters plus a few with internal modulations like Sample and Hold and envelope following.

Notes: The microZEUS is a 4HP power supply module for Eurorack format synthesizers. It is the smallest and most powerful power supply available for its size.

uZEUS with flying bus boards: this version features two ribbon bus boards. All you have to do is plug in your modules and play.

The uZEUS mixes linear and switching power technology to produce 1000mA at +12V, 500mA at -12V, and 170mA at +5V and uses a standard +15VDC non-regulated wall adapter for power.

Notes: The Z-Ears Tabletop are standard 3U rack ears that can be used as either a tabletop frame or standard rack mount frame. These parts are made of anodized aluminium and are custom made to work with Eurorack mounting rails like Z-Rails.

Notes: Z-Rails Brackets are used to attach Z-Rails to wood cases without having screws visible on the exterior for a clean, professional finish. Z-Rails Brackets have two holes for wood screws and two holes for Z-Rails screws. Z-Rails Brackets come supplied with both types of screws and no additional screws are required for assembly.

Notes: ZVERBZ is a collection of new stereo reverb algorithms for the Z-DSP. They range from typical reverbs to more complex effects that combine delay and pitch shifting with reverb. The effects are grouped by decades based on either the era an algorithm was introduced or the time when the effect was most popular. This variety of reverbs covers small to epic size spaces with the addition of shimmering, feedback tunneled pitch shifting, tape delay drivers, gated reverbs and a lot more. Analog clocking of the DSP chip and CV over the parameters enables even more experimentation. This is a collection inspired by the best from the past right at your fingertips.

Please note: The Z-DSP module is not included with this purchase- it is for demonstration purposes only.
