Tiptop OCTOPUS Overview

Play more voices and notes with ease from a single controller than ever thought possible with the Tiptop Audio OCTOPUS, a powerhouse ART controller in Eurorack format that takes MIDI in via the USB or DIN connector and outputs eight ART channels with 8 velocity CV and 8 drum triggers. The OCTOPUS provides the ART oscillators with unprecedented simplicity when connecting the modular to your computer sequencers, hardware MIDI sequencers, and keyboards.

ART is a new Eurorack signal that contains several types of information in a single cable including perfect pitch for ART-enabled analog and digital oscillators. Its high speed control signals maintain very low jitter for tight timing. Each ART channel can play polyphonic notes, monophonic notes or create multichannel polyphony using an internal voice manager. OCTOPUS is Tiptop Audio's first ART controller with more to follow. It is required to get started with ART.

Note: Please note, OCTOPUS is not a 1V/oct MIDI to CV and should not be confused as one.
