Tiptop Triax8 Analog Eight Voice Triangle Core Oscillator Eurorack Module (40 HP)

• Each VCO has a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) knob with CV input and a Vibrato amount knob with CV input. Both are controlled using an external LFO
• Vibrato: patch an LFO into the Vibrato CV input, then turn up the knob to hear the effect (not internally generated)
• VCO1 includes a sub-oscillator, adding harmonics one octave below
• VCO2 features XOR waveform, created by combining the pulse waves of VCO1 and VCO2. Adjusting PWM knobs on both VCOs will change shape of the XOR waveform

Through-Zero FM:

• VCO2 supports through-zero frequency modulation (FM) from VCO1
• FM Amount knob on VCO2 controls amount of modulation applied
• On VCO1, the FM Source knob chooses which waveform VCO1 uses to modulate VCO2
• FM depth can be CV controlled in two ways: Polyphonically via the Polytip FM input jack / Globally using the standard FM mini jack input and attenuator knob

Pitch and Frequency Control:

• Each VCO has two main controls for pitch and frequency
• VCO1: The Detune knob should be set to 0 for accurate pitch. Turning it up slightly detunes VCO1, creating a detuned effect when paired with VCO2
• Octave Switch changes octave range of VCO1
• VCO2 also has its own Octave Switch
• Fine knob: Set to 0 for accurate pitch?turning it up smoothly increases the frequency up to +1 semitone
• Shifts pitch in steps of semitones, up to one full octave

• Both oscillators can be synced simultaneously, allowing for unique and complex cross-sync sounds
• For more sonic variety, add FM and adjust the FINE on VCO2
• Velocity outputs available via the Polytip jack as 0 to 5V CV signals

Response Mode Switch: 

• + : Higher velocity (e.g., harder key press) for higher CV
• ? : Inverts response?harder presses for lower CV
• KEYT (Key Track): Outputs a CV that rises with the pitch of the note played?higher notes produce higher CV. This is often used to modulate parameters like filter cutoff based on pitch
• Auto Tune: Hold down Velocity switch for 2 seconds to trigger 

Voicing Switch Modes:

• Poly: Each note is assigned to a separate voice (standard polyphony)
• Dual: Each note uses two voices, creating a fuller sound and when used
• UNI (Unison): All voices play the same note together
