Take your modular setup to the next level with the Tiptop Audio VORTEX6, a polyphonic 6-voice wavetable oscillator inspired by the hardware design and sound of the PPG Wave. It is the only oscillator of this type that uses true 8-bit vintage audio converters from the '80s. Dozens of wavetables are provided internally, and user tables can be loaded via an SD card.
VORTEX6 has built-in vibrato, glide, and six wavetable-scrolling envelopes, all with CV. The ART-in jack and a built-in voice manager take care of incoming notes and distributes them to audio, gate, and velocity outs—through per-voice 3.5mm jacks or the Polytip jacks. The VORTEX6 ships with a ribbon power cable and mounting screws.

Complete Six-Voice Polyphonic Modular Synthesizer
Together with OCTOPUS, one or more OCTOSTAGES, an OCTOPASS, an OCTOGAIN, and a few Polytip patch cables, you have the world's first complete six-voice polyphonic modular synth. Alternatively, VORTEX 6 can be patched to discrete mono modules or use its voice mix-out for paraphonic soundscapes with up to 12 oscillators in detune mode.
