Tiptop Audio / Z-DSP NS VC-DSP

Variations

A module made by Tiptop Audio, an up-and-coming American garage maker. A cartridge-based open source platform capable of digital sound processing and effect generation for Eurorack modular synthesizers. Rich audio processing, deep stereo sound, and unique digital synthesis can be achieved with the Z-DSP.

Overview Overview
Z-DSP is a cartridge-based open source platform capable of digital sound processing and effect generation for Eurorack modular synthesizers. Rich audio processing, deep stereo sound, and unique digital synthesis can be achieved with the Z-DSP.

Feature
Z-DSP is a stereo digital sound processor with 24-bit sampling, 15kHz bandwidth, stereo feedback CV control parameters, program switching, DSP parameters, dry / wet mixing, sequential program control switching, and more. Is installed, and the parameters are displayed on a highly visible display. All of this fits into one Eurorack module. The clock input is not an input for tempo synchronization, but a clocking input dedicated to the DSP chip. The input signal bends the algorithm and brings a mysterious effect to the sound. This hardware technique is a unique feature of Z-DSP that is not possible with computer plug-ins.

Updated to a white panel, the Z-DSP NS has redesigned all of its analog circuitry, with a low-noise signal path, sharper sound in all frequency bands, low distortion, and sharing power with other modules. Many parts have been improved, such as resistance to noise generated during the event. A new analog dry / wet circuit has been implemented to eliminate the 3db gain drop that occurs when the mix knob passes through the center of the dial, making this feature more practical for live use. Can be used for. A reverse polarity protection circuit has also been added. The new front panel matches Tiptop's colorful design, with a single printed circuit board and surface mount technology for increased reliability in production and use. The powerful Z-DSP engine is the same as the original Z-DSP module, and all Z-DSP dedicated cards are compatible in both versions.
