Tiptop AudioTime Domain Card Bundle for Z-DSP

Tiptop Audio Z-DSP Time Domain Card Bundle

Tiptop Audio’s Time Domain Card Bundle features three cards specializing in time-based effects. See below for a description of each card’s functionality.

Mod Delay: Modulated Delays animates delay lines in various ways. Its algorithms add to the effects signal path while imparting further processing on the audio signal. This results in a sound that is unique to the Mod Delay.

All programs therein feature different styles of processing, including chorus, diffusion, panning, and more—which are added to the mono or dual delay line structure. Two Modulator programs can be used with external CV signals for an array of creative modulation possibilities.

Hydra: This card specializes in multi-tap delay and rhythmic effects. It features a spread parameter that moves through rhythmic variations, effectively utilizing diffusion to mobilize the space between delay and reverb.

Hydra’s algorithm sums the Z-DSP’s inputs to mono, changing the signal into a single delay line. From there, output taps are extracted from the delay line and applied to the stereo outputs. The programs contain additional features such as panning, pitch shifting, filtering, diffusion, and even an external clock input for enhanced synchronization.

Spirals: This pitch and multi-tap delay cards makes use of several multi-tap delay techniques, combining them with two pitch shifters for a host of harmonizing choruses, harmonic reverb, and echoes. Its algorithms are derived from high-end effects processors with complex editing processes. However, once inserted in the Z-DSP, Hydra’s algorithms can be altered via three easy adjustments.
