TIPTOP AUDIO ONE TUTORIAL ~ Eurorack sample module
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 เม.ย. 2017
- This is a tutorial of the TipTop Audio One eurorack sampler module. We go over the basic panel features including the different CV and gate modes. We then go over the SD card, how to update the config file and how to load your own samples and process them with Audacity. I also demo using the One as a VCO by loading a single cycle waveform and finally trigger a full track to see how it handles longer samples.

Thanks for actually showing the features step by step rather than just running it through a sequencer and rapidly playing random sounds at us like everyone else. Might pick one of these up.
You're a snot. Learn it yourself, Goofball.
I just bought this module and your tutorial was tremendously helpful. I really appreciate you showing us how to creat your own samples with Audacity. Now I can’t wait to try my own samples on this module.
I am just starting out putting together a euro-rack and need all the help I can get. You have done an excellent job with making this tutorial, please make more.Subscribed!
Thanks for the inspiring video... I'm now 100% convinced ONE will land soon in my studio. Cheers form NL
I've had the TipTop ONE for two weeks now and still learned something from your tutorial - thanks! ... Amazing how versatile such a small and rather simple module can be... I only wish it had a tiny display to indicate the currently active sample... One thing I think you forgot to mention is play lists, this way you can narrow down the choice of samples to what you really need...
Absolute clarity and explanation, well done man, subbed, be well.
Nice work, looking forward to seeing more. Cheers!
Thanks man!
The lowest point in the sample at about 20 minutes really reminds me tonally of the ost from final fantasy 6. Needless to say, I freaking love it. I'm an ms20 playing guitarist and I'm about to dive into modular, and I've learned an absolute ton from your videos!
Thanks Alex, glad these videos are helpful. Enjoy your modular!
When using the CV File Select mode, it's a good idea to run the gate signal through a slew limiter first to allow One to load the new file before it receives the gate signal. Otherwise any CV change associated with that gate signal will only be applied at the next gate.
I just got my TipTop One and this was a perfect tutorial. Thanks! I've been recording slide guitar samples to loop under my ambient music. I tried to do it with a Radio Music module and it just didn't work quite right. This worked perfectly
Nice, glad you liked it! Slide guitar samples in a modular sounds sweet!
Nice walkthrough! It's so cute!
Great vid! Convinced me to order one!
Cheers buddy, this was super helpful
you're doing a good job. keep it up.
Oh cool it's STG himself! Thanks man. Any new modules in the pipeline?
have one of these on it's way to me now so great timing..great vids always..
Nice let me know how you like it.
nice sounding filter, it made that single cycle sound quite musical and meaty, do you like it..?
great video! it was a nice plus the audacity tutorial.
Thanks!
great Video!! Very well explained!
Thanks!
Great tutorial. One question: Do you know if this has the possibility to create banks/folders on the SD just like the Radio Music does?
Hey! About the single cycle waveform. I red in the manual "The minimum length for files is 1024 samples. For the most seamless looping (like waveforms)
files should be a multiple of this number." Maybe trying to add length to the cycle(copies) would make it sound more like a sinewave :) Cheers
Yes, than it works fine, one cycle of 1024 samples is enough (at 96 kHz the frequentie of the wave should be 93.75 kHz)
Great explanation and you can now throw away the "manual" thanks and let's have lots more of this !
Thanks Phil!
less is more very usefull little module, can be used for lot of musical aplications, love it
Clever ! Thanks for the explanation. Those wobbly cables make me inconfortable 😝
Yo, thank U!
I´ll buy this module next time, seems 2 B a lot of fun with it. Back 2 the 80ies style :-)
5:20 yes that was what I was hoping you could do! thanks! :D
I didn't actually know it could do that until I got it. Killer feature.
Great tutorial:) around 14.00, could you explain how to create a single SINE cycle? Is there a tool on Audacity? Thanks in advance
Great video thanks
Great sounding filteeer. Is the VCF-74 a reference to the Paperface Serge modular era circuit ??? if so who is it made by ??? Thanks !!!
After watching your videos I got interested in buying couple of this modules. But before I do that, I would like to know the following: suppose you have loaded a couple of drum loops (say each 2 bars long) to the SD card and you put the module in loop mode, trig it once and let it continue looping . Would it then be possible to switch the drum loop sample with an external CV while still keeping it looping?
like your videos and they are so easy to understand, the eurorack series is perfect! please don't stop 😆
but I have some problems with audacity to find the cleaned files. this part in your video was little too short for me.
peace from wonderful blackforest germany
Thank you! Sorry I cut out the part about saving the project first. So in audacity you first have to save your project (File -> Save Project As). Then when you apply a chain audacity will automatically create a folder called "cleaned files" in the same folder as where you saved the project. Hopefully that makes sense.

thanks, I will check this tomorrow.
once upon a synth
Yeah it works👌, great module. ..
thanks!
Cool stuff 😁 👍
Thanks Leon.
Hi, wich Patch Cable (Brand) you using in this Video ? Thanks !
Newly subbed, love your intro shots. Trying to figure out how to batch import the raw data factory VCTR files - to see audition which files to keep or toss. Audacity can only import one at a time. Have any insight on this?
I just noticed in your vid; when you hover over the VCTR files in finder the play icon pops up. Hmm.. earlier cards?
yes, great walk thru - tutorial.
i've ordered a One in part to your work.
i have a question about your rig. that horizontal format of Eurorack above your One..
where you have line in/out unit.. what is that unit and format. i've done a couple of searches
and haven't had luck. is that an alternative Euro format?
Thanks! They are called "1U tiles" because they take up only 1U of rack space. Only a handful of manufacturers produce modules of this size and only some cases provide space for 1U modules. I don't think it's an official eurorack thing, I believe some manufacturers just decided to start making them for convenience. The one I'm using is by Intellijel and you can browse their other 1U modules here: intellijel.com/product-category/1u-modules/
thanks so much for speeding up my process!
i appreciate that while you demo you gravitate toward the more interesting sounds as you tweak. well done sir.
what are you handling next?
No problemo, glad to help. I recently got a Morphagene from Make Noise so I'm working on a tutorial for that little beast.
While this has a feature or two that RadioMusic doesn't have, RadioMusic is about half the price and has one important feature this one lacks-- and that's the ability to group the audio files into banks. I use each bank to have separate "kits" of different sounds that I can switch between by doing a bank select, though bank select is a manual button push only. The output volume is a handy feature here that RadioMusic lacks, and RadioMusic is a bit finicky about the format of the WAV files, but it otherwise pretty much operates the same.
Does this do anything that the Disting mk4 can’t do? The Disting is stereo too. I’m just trying to decide witch one to get, so far going with the Disting...
is there some polyphonic sample module that can store many sound samples and play them on a keyboard?
Yeah I picked up the morphagene cuz your tutorial . I was wondering if you could explain the "boot mode" to launch or start each "one" module in ? the manual is confusing to me .
Are you referring to the config.txt file? Essentially it allows you to pre-configure the trigger type and CV type settings to some default values. If you just open the config.txt file (which is on the SD card) you can edit the second and third line (replace "Trigger" and "Quantize" with one of the other options listed at the bottom of the file). Then save your config file and the next time the One is powered on with that SD card it will automatically read the config.txt file set those settings for you.
yeah , thats what i was trying to figure out .Ok , I'll try this .
Damn, your good at what you do. Maybe you could teach online part time @ MIT
Thanks man!
Hey, what is the song used for the demo? I didn't come across it on your bandcamp tracks.
Btw nice demo and great music. I particularly enjoyed the Ferris Wheel album and the Coat Sellers.
Thanks! The song is called "Elena and Billy" it's on the "Pixel Vision" album of my "Citizen Park" project. citizenpark.bandcamp.com/track/elena-and-billy
once upon a synth Oh, thank you! I missed it on my initial peruse.
Good stuff. The feely vibe hits my sweet spot.
You could take this in a Concrete type of direction, by adding the new Make Noise Morphagene. Maybe even 2 of them. Or 1 Morphagene and 1 SDS Reflex LiveLoop. Creating a 2 to 3 looping granular voicing system.
Already ordered a morphagene, couldn't resist :)
Once you get the Morphagene, then maybe you could do a video of how your EuroRack pairs with the Organelle. Talk about the endless possibilities. :-) Multi voice: sampling, looping, and graining.
Great idea!
Nice video. btw - which case are you using in this video?
Thanks! It's the 7U 84hp case by Intellijel. intellijel.com/7u-cases/
What is the noise sound behind ? its come from the module ?
Be cool if it had CV inputs for both file and frequency control simultaneously.
Disting mk3 is more powerful since you have both pitch and sound selection (at the same time), i often use both these inputs connected to my voltage block for precise control of sound file and pitch. Disting can also record + tons of other functions (eg. it can even play .wav loops which it will sync to clock).
Also, this is not a "Sampler" like it says in the title and description, it's a Sample Player, big difference :) Morphagene (for example) is a sampler.
For the price i think they could have made it a bit more powerful when it comes to CV.. sure it's 24bit instead of "just" 16, and supposedly it has lower latency than Disting mk3 (and 4, i guess), but when it comes to latency manufacturers often have different ways of measuring those, so i wouldn't count on it until measuring it myself in practice.
Good demo nontheless!
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check out the mk3. Also I've updated the title to say "sample", you're right it's not technically a sampler. Cheers.
Hey OUAS, I know this is an old video, but I don't see file, edit chains anywhere in Audacity. Can you tell me how I upload samples please.
It's called MACRO now and you can find it in TOOLS.
And only 4HP, I'm sold.
Damn...so this can't control the pitch of the samples with 1v/o CV? I would love to load up some .wav samples from Omnisphere and use a sampler module to act as a digital oscillator that I can control with a keyboard. Are there any eurorack modules that can accomplish this? If I could find a way to do this, it would really open up a lot of possibilities for my euro setup.
it would be a lot cooler if it could be controlled with unquantized pitch cv.
I'm looking for the same thing. The only one I found that can do it is the Disting, but the MK4 has been out of stock forever now so I can't find one in stock.
Clouds can do that! Freeze some audio into the buffer, adjust grain size to taste (i've dialed it in to loop waveforms perfectly) and put at 1v/octave signal into the pitch in
18:50 for ｖａｐｏｒｗａｖｅ ゟ衛院
lol
Went to sort out a CHAIN, but it's gone.
But no need to panic, I see that Audacity has renamed it MACRO and can be found within TOOLS.
Phew!
I'd like to see what waveshape that "sine" actually came out as....
lol yeah it probably turned into a sine with a dead spot so more likely resembling a half-sine half-square wave. TipTop said that the reason this happened is that my wave was too short. You need at least 1024 samples in order for it to loop properly. So if I made a sine wave of at least 1024 samples it would sound like an actual sine wave.
Tom Kellicut I wonder if that means that they need to be a _multiple_ of 1024 samples to loop seamlessly. Is that the case?
Is it your music at the end ?
Yes
This module seems to work nicely but it costs a lot of money for what it does. I expected it to be one fifth of the price that it is (here in England)
What case is that?
Intellijel 84hp 7U
whats the song at 19:50?
Heh it's one of my old tracks called "elena and billy" but sped up here in the tiptop one. Here's the original (normal speed) version: citizenpark.bandcamp.com/track/elena-and-billy
Can’t seem to find it, :(
Why does the single cycle sine wave not sound like a sine wave?
Yeah I'm not sure yet. I mentioned it in my conclusion at the end but I think there might be a small gap between two loops which causes the wave to be shaped more like a half-sine half-square wave, hence the added harmonics. Either that or maybe I did something wrong when exporting. I'm not sure if this module was designed to loop single cycle waves so I can't fault it. If anyone has better success with this on this module please let me know!
once upon a synth yeah, would be great if it can loop seamlessly... your file looked correct...
There is a minimum length for looping files on ONE of 1024 samples. I had that in an earlier draft of the manual but looks like it didn't make the final version.
Chris Clepper ahhhhh, so the single cycle needs to be several cycles? There's no mention of length in the manual
Chris Clepper thanks for clarifying!
What kind of Rack do you have cuz that looks sick as fuck. Like I want that NOW!!
It's intellijel's 7U eurorack case: intellijel.com/7u-cases/
I envy you
Its a shame you can't modulate sample play back and pitch at the same time.. Would really increase the power of the module
i dont think that's an accurate sine shape 0_o
I'm a total noob at this sort of thing, but to me the sine wave sounds more square. Is this just me being ignorant?
You lost me when you said "apply chain". I cant see where your mouse went.
