TipTop Audio ART V/OCT Quantizer Eurorack Module (8 HP)

TipTop Audio QART-QNTZ Overview

Designed to play ART oscillators from CV sequencers, LFOs, and anything that outputs CV, the TipTop Audio ART V/OCT Quantizer, a four channel CV to ART quantizer that's designed for playing ART without a computer or MIDI source.

The inputs work with positive, negative, and bipolar CV voltages. Scales include Major, Minor, and the five other modes (Dorian, Lydian, etc). The module is easy to set up with a simple menu, one knob, and a switch for navigation. The 4th channel can be set to generate chords and polyphonic note streams for ART polyphonic oscillators. The module includes a ribbon power cable.

At a Glance

• Four channels of CV to ART conversion
• Major/Minor scale and mode quantization
• Input range options of 0 to 10V, -5 to 5V, and 0 to 5V
• Independent 4 mono channel ART outs or single chord out
• Gate control of note on/off
• Status view of note on/off events
• Up to 10 octave range (C1 to C9)

Status/Channel Modes

The four channels can operate independently (MONO) or be grouped together to form a single chord output on channel 4 (CHORD). In Chord mode, all 4 CV inputs are used but only the channel 4 Gate is used to make the chord. (Please note, the Chord out will only play with polyphonic ART modules)

• MONO 4: Each channel is independent and sends a single note on/off according to the gate on the channel
• CHORD 4: The voltages on all channels are sent as a note on/off to the Output of channel 4. Gate In on Channel 4 samples all inputs and sends 4 notes. Gate In on channels 1-3 sends a single note to the respective channel out and ART Out 4.
• M1-3 CH4: Channels 1-3 operate the same as MONO 4 mode. Channel 4 creates a four note chord (triad + tonic octave down) based on the chord degree set in the Key and Scale.
• KEY: Changes the key to any of the 12 from C to B.
