Tiptop Audio CP909 (Roland TR-909) Sound Demo No Talking
Drum Modular Synthesizer from Tiptop Audio
CP909 is an exact reproduction of the original TR-909 Clap circuit, but with the addition of the "trashing" parameter it provides a wider sound spectrum without distorting the signature of the original. The CP909 clap effect is generated by a special triple-saw envelope that controls the level of a VCA. The sound source that is fed into the VCA is a random Noise generator, which has a major influence on the 80's sound and is mainly responsible for the charm that the 909 Clap exudes.
Dual Input Pulse Shaper
The dual input pulse shaper circuit located in the inputs makes it possible to trigger the sounds via conventional trigger/gate signals from sequencers, Clock dividers or other pulse/clock sources without having to calibrate the levels of the trigger pulses in advance, thus eliciting consistently powerful sounds from the module regardless of the trigger signal.
Easy integration
All these small, useful functions make it easy to integrate this legendary sound into your modular system, which unleashes the analogue power and makes the speaker domes shake! The numerous Tiptop drum modules form a complete, flexible synthesizer system in themselves. In combination with the MIXZ module, the sum mix can be tapped without prior patching.
