At Superbooth 2023, Tiptop Audio has announced ART – a new patching system that they say “makes polyphonic patching effortless.”

The first thing ART does is establish a new signal standard in Eurorack systems, just like CV Gate and 1V/Oct.

ART is not just a new signal, but allows for development of previously impossible products that pass through traditional barriers and make Eurorack more capable.

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. But they also include ‘Polytip’ connectors, which are connected using special Polytip patch cables.

Here are the details on ART:

Signal flow:

Voice = can refer for example to a single filter in a poly filter module or a complete voice like VCO + VCF + EG + VCA patch.

Patch types:

Poly synth patch = patch with only Polytips. Patching with Polytips is like a higher level patching, you don’t patch one monophonic signal like you usually do in Eurorack, you patch blocks of voices.

Discrete polyphony patch = a polyphonic patch made from single modules, like multiple ATXs that goes into multiple filters and multiple vcas. Obviously it is very interesting to try and make each voice different from the other.

Multi-Voice patch = a patch of multiple mono voices.

Paraphonic patch = a polyphonic tone generation mix, like the MIX out on Vortex6 or multiple mono voices (ATX1) mixed together goes into a monophonic processing (VCF, VCA, EG, etc) path.

Module type:

Polyphonic module = module with poly tips jacks like OCTOPASS

Polyphonic module with discrete I/Os = like Vortex6 and HEAGAIN, having both Polytips and 3.5mm jacks in parallel.

Jacks:

Polyphonic jack = the Polytip jacks, these carry multiple audio signal in one cable

3.5mm jacks = the standard jacks used in Eurorack

An entire product line of ART based modules is in development at Tiptop Audio, featuring 9 new modules. Find out more on the Tiptop Audio website for more FAQs and more information.

At Superbooth 2023, being held in Berlin May 11-13, Tiptop Audio & Buchla USA are expanding their line of classic Buchla 200 series modules in Eurorack format.

The series, introduced at Superbooth 2021, is a joint project to make classic Buchla 200 Series modules available as affordable Eurorack modules. The series has been wildly popular, with the initial set of modules selling out almost as soon as they are released.

Now they are introducing two new modules:

The Mixer/Preamplifier 207t, above, is essentially a reissue of the classic Buchla Mixer/Preamplifier Model 207 in Euro format.

It features a six-channel stereo mixer with voltage-controlled panning and a single channel preamplifier with impedance and gain switches for a variety of input levels. Also included are per channel program and monitor switches and a monitor output.

The Programmable Spectral Processor 296t, above, is a 16-channel bandpass filter, with built-in analysis and synthesis capability. It can be used as a real-time performance filter, an equalizer and part of a vocoder.

Each frequency band has its own control input and envelope follower output, allowing for a wide range of transformations.

Both modules are expected to be available in August 2023. Details on pricing and specifications are to be announced.

At Superbooth 2023, being held in Berlin May 11-13, Norand is introducing Mono mkII, described as “the ultimate monophonic synthesizer”.

The Mono mkII builds on four years of feedback, adding overdrive, an improved interface, an expressive 3D keyboard and more.

Features:

• Analog overdrive and refined analog path
• MK2 implement 4 years of internal update over our appraised discrete analog path, with the addition of a custom soft overdrive circuit at the output, multiplying mono’s sonic abilities.
• Expressive 3D Keyboard
• MK2 introduces 3D sensors for the mini-keyboard, allowing for expressive controls over each notes. Velocity, aftertouch, pitch bend, and vertical modulation are possible directly on the keyboard.
• Continuous sequencer strip
• 3D sensors are also used for the sequencer and page keys, which allow for dozens of new musical features, like live play-head, multi-pattern morphing, and precise control over the patterns.
• High resolution automation
• MK2 uses a 1024 PPQN sequencer system, which allow automations to be recorded at a very-high definition with the knobs and keys. The 3D sequencer strip allow for precise creation and edition of these automation using curve mode.
• Full machined alluminum body, RGB LED, UI improvement, and more

The Norand Mono mkII is expected to be available in June 2023, price at €839.
