The 266t is a powerhouse for anyone wanting to inject genuine randomness into their modular system. It's not a simple module, but if you're into generative music, experimental sound design, or creating unpredictable rhythms, this will be a core component. The range of options and the quality of the random signals are impressive for the price.
Product Description
- Tiptop Audio Model 266t
- Eurorack Module
- Source Of Uncertainty - multi-channel source for analogue random voltages
- 2 Channels for fluctuating random control voltages
- each with adjustable rate (0.05Hz - 50Hz) and CV input
- 1 Channel for quantised random control voltages (number of states selectable via controller and CV input) with trigger input and two outputs with different statistical distribution of the random values
- 1 Channel for random control voltages with trigger input and 2 outputs for uniform statistical distribution and adjustable distribution of amplitude frequency (distribution of low
- medium and high voltage values controllable via controller and CV input)
- Adjustable integrator / slew limiter with CV input
- Sample & Hold section with four alternating outputs for the trigger and CV signals
- Noise generator with three outputs (pink
- white and blue noise)
- Current consumption: 150 mA (+12 V) / 100 mA (-12 V)
- Width: 24 U
- Depth: 25 mm
PROS
- • Multiple random voltage sources offer diverse creative possibilities.
- • Quantized channel provides structured randomness for melodic sequences.
- • Adjustable distribution allows for nuanced control over voltage ranges.
- • Integrator/Slew Limiter shapes randomness into evolving textures.
CONS
- • Can be overwhelming for beginners due to complexity.
- • Limited CV input options compared to some other random voltage sources.
- • Physical size (HP width) can be restrictive in smaller racks.

Frequently Asked Questions
The CV input modulates the number of states in the quantized sequence, dynamically changing the range of possible random values.
While it shapes the distribution, it’s designed for controlled unpredictability; fine-tuning the low/mid/high voltage balance can create subtle or dramatic shifts in the random output.
It’s a functional S&H, but lacks the advanced features of a dedicated module, offering a convenient, integrated solution for basic voltage smoothing and capturing random events.
