Tiptop Audio Z8000 Matrix Sequencer Black is a sequencer module for modular synthesizers in Eurorack format. The accessibly designed sequencer houses a clock divider, Clock sequencer, switches, trigger sequencer and Logic gates that create a unique system.
Structure of the Tiptop Audio Z8000
The Z8000 Matrix Sequencer is a compact modulation source. The knob are controlled by ten sequencers, each of which has its own clock, direction and reset inputs. Altogether the sequencers are structured as follows:
four 4-stage CV sequencers along the horizontal line
four 4-stage CV sequencers along the vertical axis
one 16-level CV sequencer along the horizontal line
one 16-step CV sequencer on the vertical axis
The Tiptop Audio Z8000 allows multiple parameters to be polyrhythmically modulated simultaneously, creating unprecedented movement. One knob affects all ten CV outputs, and all clock inputs can be driven at audio rate.
Z8000 Matrix CV Sequencers Version 2 Updates
Tiptop Audio has updated the Z8000 Matrix CV Sequencer Version 2, besides a refreshed, colorful design, with some additional technical features: the CV Output can now be set between 0-5V or 0-10V via switches on the rear panel. Each of the ten CV outputs can be set independently. A reverse power protection ensures protection of the module and neighboring modules in case of persistent faulty conditions. A better operating feel is provided by the new sockets and potentiometers.
