Product Description
The Tiptop Audio Tape Echo ZDSP Cartdridge brings classic tape based delays to the Z-DSP effects library. Eight expressive algorithms which emulate analog tape machines and the producers that inspire Tiptop Audio.
With Tape Echo you can do it all—recreate space echo dub sound of Lee “Scratch” Perry and King Tubby or dig deep into the gritty and endless saturated repeats favored by dub experimenters like Basic Channel and Boards of Canada.
So wide in its functionality, playability and natural in its sound, Tape Echo sits comfortably amongst the greats of the Roland RE-201 Space Echo, Copycat and Maestro Echoplex all while having a unique character of its own.
From wobbly tape to stereo pong, Tape Echo comes with a multitude of expressive settings and presets that allow you to recreate virtually any style of analog echo or magnetic tape delay or invent your own sound when you adjust the fidelity of the Z-DSP clock!
Tape Echo for the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP is a joy to use. Precision control of the Frequency, Filter and Feedback are clear to read with the Z-DSP display, plus corresponding controls make setting delay times by ear easy and fun to do like it’s predecessors.
ZDSP CARDS
An assortment of interchangeable cards, programmed by Tiptop Audio and specialists like Valhalla DSP, provide a wide range of boutique effects algorithms such as Halls of Valhalla, Time Fabric, Clocked Delays and Grain De Folie for your Z-DSP VC – Digital Signal Processor.
Tiptop Audio also offers blank Z-DSP cartridges and a development tool called NumberZ for developers, students and power users who want to design their own effects and cards with the FV-1 DSP chip programing language. Blank cards can be loaded using programs that are freely available for non-commercial use and can be found in the modular community through online forums. With each card swap, the Z-DSP takes on new effect algorithms, changing like a digital chameleon and bringing colorful digital effects processing to your Eurorack setup.
