Tiptop Audio / Circadian Rhythms

A module made by Tiptop Audio, an up-and-coming American garage maker. A trigger / gate sequencer that can output a sequence of up to 8 channels / 512 steps at the same time.

Tiptop Audio Circadian Rhythms is a trigger / gate sequencer that can output up to 8 channels / 512 steps of sequence at the same time. The grid view using 72 glowing multi-color buttons arranged on the panel allows you to program rhythm patterns in an easy-to-understand and intuitive manner. You can perform swings, phrase repetitions, loops, chains, mute, etc. in real time, and it is useful in a wide range of situations from live performances to composition.

As a master controller, it is also supposed to play a central role in modular systems, enabling accurate synchronization with other modules with highly accurate clock and reset signals.

Tiptop Sync Bus
Circadian Rhythms supports Tiptop Sync Bus. Sync Bus allows you to synchronize multiple sequencer modules by connecting the Sync Bus connector on the back of the module to another Circadian Rhythms or Trigger Riot. The connection is made on the back of the module, so there is no need for patching on the panel.
