Product Description
- Tiptop Audio Z4000 NS
- Voltage Controlled ADSR Envelope with CV Processor
- The first 50% of the pots are designed for high-resolution settings in the millisecond range
- The second 50% of the control path adjusts the time range from 1 s to 1 min
- Attack slope switch allows selection of a logarithmic or exponential characteristic for the Attack segment
- Output signal can be scaled
- mirrored and inverted
- an offset can be added
- Width: 8 HP
- Depth: 28 mm
- Power requirement: +34 mA (+12 V) / -18 mA (-12 V)
PROS
- • Dual-range pots offer incredible precision at all speeds
- • Attack slope switch expands sound design possibilities significantly
- • Flexible output scaling and inversion adds creative modulation options
- • Compact 8HP footprint makes it ideal for dense modular setups
CONS
- • Power draw is relatively high for a single module
- • Limited CV outputs restrict complex envelope shaping
- • The initial learning curve can be steep for ADSR novices
