This video, by gattobus, captures a live performance with a compact TipTop Audio ART Modular System.
Tiptop’s ‘ART is an open standard for patching polyphonic signals within a Eurorack system.
“It gives you the flexibility of a modular,” notes gattobus, “but with the playability of a classic synth.”
Modules used:
Vortex 6 Oscillator
ATX-1 VCO
Octopass Poly Filter
Octostages Poly Envelope x2
Octogain VCA
Octopus USB/MIDI interface
Octo I/O
Octovert
Resonator
Z-DSP “Halls of Vallhalla” Card.
Mantis Case (black)
More info on the ART system is available at the Tiptop Audio site.
Idea is right but lacked the critical mass and adoption to work.
the one time “get a horse” was right.
hardware modular went away… then it came back
but its probably going away again
Steps in the right direction
