Squelchy! Love those drippy percussive sounds toward the end, goes nice with the reverb. So much modular music endless drones, nice to hear some staccato sounds!
I wouldn't call this demo boring at all, It's simple! And that is a sometimes good, it allows for the modula to be shown for what it is. That being said, I need to pick one of these up!
With the 3 state INPUTS, rather than the usual 3 state outputs, and the master volume control, this filter can also be used like a 3->1 mixer where each channel is a dedicated filter state. I would have liked to see you take 3 waveform outs from the Z3000 and do some odd blending through Forbidden Planet that way. Nice demo, overall.
Thanks! Good clear demo of a product I now know I want. :) .. also .. i'm curious about your eurorack case, and the top row with all the nice I/O? Can I buy this case somewhere? Or the parts to make it somewhere(s)?
Its A Intellijel 7U Case I believe they come in 2 Rows of 3U 84HP with 1 row of 1U 84 HP and the same thing but in 104 HP Plus those cases have a lot included connectivity inputs and outputs built in to the box
Sounds better than the Microbrute filter to me. Not sure why. I had a Microbrute for a couple weeks and could not gel with that filter, but this sounds so good.
Tip Top is a kind and generous company. That being said, their module front panels went from super boring to hyper unique. I think a little in between is nice. Edit: Could we see this filter in a "will it pair?" with the KNAS EKDAHL MOISTURIZER?
Is this similar to the filter in the Microbrute? I read somewhere that it was Steiner-Parker based. As I move towards an "everything in the rack" setup I want to find modules to replicate my Microbrute as closely as possible.
I haven't played the microbrute so I'm not sure. But note that this filter is "influenced" by steiner parker, so I'm not sure if it matches it exactly.
www.soundonsound.com/reviews/arturia-microbrute Good luck with the "everything in the Rack" idea. I would try using this www.modulargrid.net/ if you haven't already.
Having owned the microbrute, original minibrute, and now minibrute2, I would say this filter is remarkably close to the filter in all of the brutes. They both have that same singy, bubbly, liquidy character that you can turn into searing screaming wailing if you want to.
I bought the Microbrute because of the patch points and found it a fantastic little synth before I really knew anything about modular. Though Tiptops modules are all really good there are other modules that will produce a veritable pallet of sounds and a lot of them at a lower price. I sold my micro but if I was in the market for a small versatile synth I would buy it again. Have a look on Ebay, sometimes you'll be lucky to find one as new for 10s of pounds less than RRP. They do come with a set of patch cards to help you on your way. As for modular, as I said I started with the micro and 3U x 84HP and ended up with this: www.modulargrid.net/e/users/view/99889 Unless you have lots of children you can sell or you have a really well paid job I would maybe steer clear of the Eurorack route and explore the micros patch point to the max before investing....Investing...you keep telling yourself that Phil.
Well it's true my budget is low, and I already have a Microbrute. I'm slowly moving into eurocrack and may want to eventually get rid of it to free up table space and I'm trying to find the best modules to emulate it's sound.
You watched this without knowing what a filter in this environment is used for? I envy you because you have much to learn. And I mean that in the best way possible! I learn new things about (modular) synths every day and I love it!!
But the basic answer: A raw oscillator (VCO) gives you one basic sound with the full frequency spectrum of its specific waveform. A filter is used to shape that sound to your liking by taking away and emphasizing certain frequencies.
Andrew D think of a filter as a single band EQ a low pass filter will filter out the high frequencies (and let the lows pass through) a high pass filter will take out the lows... a band pass filter will only allow frequencies through in a specific band and filter out everything on either side of the band. the sound in this demo is being generated by the Z3000 oscillator (the one with the blue digital readout) then he is feeding this sound through the filter to change the character of the sound the setup is a modular synthesizer (imagine taking the guts out of a normal keyboard synth, separating it's component parts like oscillator, mixer , amplifier, filter then allowing you to wire it up however you like) it is used for making music just like any other synthesizer
I always found the filter far too arbitrary. It reminded me of zero delay feedback filters used in VST Plugins. But I have to admit that I really like OUAS ideas.
I was hoping to hear the Forbidden Planet soundtrack on the Forbidden Planet module!
GREAT demo. I love how you showcase the raw sound so well in the start. Not boring at all!
Great demo and a neat little set up in that case too. Keep up the fine videos as always!
Thanks for this man, been looking for a demo :)
Squelchy! Love those drippy percussive sounds toward the end, goes nice with the reverb. So much modular music endless drones, nice to hear some staccato sounds!
Great demo. Thank you! Confirms my „need-to-get-this“.
Great demo! thanks for posting.
i was really interested in hearing some examples with different audio sources fed into all three inputs so curious what that's like!
No its not a boring demo....its a goooooooooooood demo as usual! Thank you!
Very good demo, thanks
Amazing! Great content :)
Nice scales
I wouldn't call this demo boring at all, It's simple! And that is a sometimes good, it allows for the modula to be shown for what it is.
That being said, I need to pick one of these up!
heh thanks, it's a cool filter, and not too expensive.

I would have liked to see you take 3 waveform outs from the Z3000 and do some odd blending through Forbidden Planet that way. Nice demo, overall.
Was hoping that too, the whole reason I'm thinking of getting it is for blending three voices, it's hard to find videos exploring this.
very nice filter and damn it's so inexpensive
GG tip top
Hope they make a Metalizer module too!
Two really tasty sequences from 10:57 onwards
Sounds awesome.. guess I could always spray paint it Black to match the rest of my module hehehe
Thanks! Good clear demo of a product I now know I want. :)
.. also .. i'm curious about your eurorack case, and the top row with all the nice I/O?
Can I buy this case somewhere? Or the parts to make it somewhere(s)?
Its A Intellijel 7U Case
I believe they come in 2 Rows of 3U 84HP with 1 row of 1U 84 HP
and the same thing but in 104 HP
Plus those cases have a lot included connectivity inputs and outputs built in to the box
8:32 What is creating these beautiful clicks here? the stepsequencer ever so slightly drifting and modulating the filter?
Sounds better than the Microbrute filter to me. Not sure why. I had a Microbrute for a couple weeks and could not gel with that filter, but this sounds so good.
I have a minibrute 2s and the filter isn’t great that’s why I’ve just ordered the tiptop one
Nice demo thanks! Can you not patch different sources into all there inputs simultaneously?
Oguz Buyukberber This is on my buy-list. Especially because it has three inputs for the different filters as opposed to one input and three outputs.
Way more interesting than Ripples, even though a FM input wouldbe great.
👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
Hey bud. What type of speaker or whatever do you use?
Tip Top is a kind and generous company. That being said, their module front panels went from super boring to hyper unique. I think a little in between is nice.
Edit: Could we see this filter in a "will it pair?" with the KNAS EKDAHL MOISTURIZER?
I could copy and paste what replied to my comment here. Consider it done : )
What happens when you use two inputs at the same time?
Why does nobody show that feature? Same with all the Doepfer A-101-1 Vids...

Sounds remarkably like the minibrute filter. No surprise as that's a steiner-parker style filter.
5:22 Duck Hunt
I thought this was a guitar pedal lol, obviously I was wrong. But can someone tell me what this is actually used for? Like DJ desks or something?
It's a module for modular synthesizers I highly recommend jumping down this rabbit hole!

Sounds like Toys by Yellow
Is it mono?
I always found the filter far too arbitrary. It reminded me of zero delay feedback filters used in VST Plugins. But I have to admit that I really like OUAS ideas.
Down to pretty much two voices now?!!
I keep reconfiguring my modular lol..
Yeah I liked it a few iterations back! Nice filter but i feel with the fold and this, tip top could have added a bit more cv inputs!
What you call vocal I think sounds like a big cat purring.
I think you are 100% correct, glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.
More formant then vocal I think.
Bobby
Formants cat probably.
you can definitely hear a movement between different vowel sounds which is what he means.
you are unaware of terms used and it makes you sound stupid!
