Tiptop Audio ATX1 ART Analog VCO

Analog saw VCO with modes: ART, 1V/Oct, LFO

A classic all analog saw VCO core with 3 switchable modes, ART, 1V/Oct, LFO and is recommended as the basic building block for ART systems. It is designed for patching analog polyphonic synths from discrete modules or multi-mono patches in ART mode. When using ART the ATX1 takes care of the tuning including accounting for temperature changes. In 1V/Oct mode the ATX1 runs as a standard old school modular VCO. LFO mode drops the frequency range and is great for patching vibrato to other ATX1s among other things. The ATX1 outputs variable waveshapes with manual or CV control. Classic FM, PWM and hard sync are provided. A dedicated Gate Out in ART mode manages the voice envelopes or any modulation synced to that voice.

About ART:

• ART is a new control signal
• ART modules are Eurorack modules and use Eurorack signal levels for oscillator audio and gate/cv controls, same power connector, and are designed to blend into any Eurorack system.
• ART control has precise pitch information as well as performance data about the note (velocity, mod and pressure)
• The ART signal is high speed for near zero latency Building upon the potential of the new ART signal a new generation of modules
