Re: starting a modular - Z3000 waveform quality?

2008-11-25 by Mark

Hi James;

Tiptop didn't set out to make a perfect sine - in fact, one of the
things that the testers talked about during beta was just how
wonderful this sine _sounds_. I agree that I wouldn't use this sine as
a LFO source for the perfect panner or some-such, but you really
should hear this one in a track.

And to that point, the sound of this module (specifically the sine)
doesn't have as much to do with the sine itself, but how the VCO gets
you between pitches. :) That's what you really wanna hear.

I (and I figure most of us here) have a LOT of VCOs in their system.
They each have their place, and sometimes many places. The Tiptop has
created it's niche too. :)
