Turn your modular system into a self-contained music machine with the Tiptop Audio CP909, a Eurorack module featuring the original 909 analog clap circuit. Adapting the circuit to the modular format has allowed a special trash feature to be added. The trash circuit adds greatly to the frequency of the internal noise generator without compromising the signature sound of the TR-909 clap.

The CP909 includes a high-powered output gain stage capable of producing hot signals. On the inputs, Tiptop Audio have designed a pulse-shaper circuit, so you can trigger the CP909 with trigger/gate signals from step sequencers, clocks, dividers, or any other pulse/clock sources. This eliminates the need to shape pulses sent to the module and ensures the same stable sound at peak power, regardless of your pulse source. The CP909 is tuned to sound like a machine that came fresh off the original '80s assembly line. The module ships with a ribbon power cable.

Original TR-909 Analog Clap Circuit    Gate + Accent Trigger Inputs    Trash Circuit for Internal Noise Circuit    Level, Trash, and Accent Controls    Includes Ribbon Power Cable

• TR-909’s Clap circuit adapted for use in Eurorack format
• Tuned to sound like a machine that came fresh off the original '80s assembly line
• Independent Accent level
• Trash circuit with control knob adds complexity to the frequency of the internal noise generator

The CP909 clap effect is made by a special triple-saw envelope generator that controls the gain of a VCA. The sound source feeding into the VCA is made by a quasi-random logic- based noise generator. Some might call it digital noise, though this term might be misleading in today's world of microcontrollers and sound samples. What really makes the noise generator is a ring of logic gates, so primitive, so '80s, and so much the sound of the 909 Clap.

• 4 HP Eurorack format module

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does leaving this unit on for extended periods of time hurt the LCD screen? I noticed there is no on/off switch to the unit.

A: This product does not have a screen.

Q: 2. Will this replacement cable work with my ATH-M50xBt?

A: Yes it will.

Q: 3. Is there a way to go from VGA to BNC male for this? Would RGBHV work if I just didn't use the H & V cables?

A: Most likely not. RGB does not carry sync, so you would need H and V inputs. You will need a VGA to SDI scaler. Hope this aswers the question

Q: 4. I want to convert SDI signal from my NTSC camera to an SDI Signal in PAL (for both audio and video) Will this converter do that?

A: I'm afraid not. The Decimator 2s SDI loop output will repeat whatever signal is going into the SDI input, so while the HDMI signal would be converted to PAL the SDI loop-out would remain NTSC. To do a conversion and come out in a different format through SDI, you could use the MD-HX, MD-Cross or MD-DUCC. All of these will take NTSC SDI in and output PAL SDI with embedded audio.

Q: 5. I need to convert PAL signal to NTSC signal so I can send it into my video switcher then out to my projector. I am using this in the US, but my client is sending me a Broadcast in PAL. for the audience to view. can this unit do this?

A: Yes, the Decimator 2 3G/HD/SD-SDI to HDMI Converter with Built-In NTSC/PAL Downscaler will be able to convert SDI in PAL to NTSC in a composite down scaled format.

Q: 6. Will this convert an NTSC composite video to SDI?

A: Yes

Q: 7. Does this come with a power supply?

A: Yes. Power supply was in the box. New w/celophane...converter, power supply. No other cabling.

Q: 8. Can the Decimator 2 simultaneously downconvert the input to composite while passing through the original format to HDMI?I want to input 720p59 over HD-SDI and output both 720p59 over HDMI and downconverted NTSC composite (anamorphic).

A: From what I have read, yes it can, however I will double check and get back to you. However, I am using 1080p/60 so there may be a difference for you. But this thing is fantastic

Q: 9. I wanna take this as replacement for Senheiser GSP 350 , is it fit? and does my gsp 350 microphone will work if pluged in mobile

A: These are strictly made for Audio Technica ATH-M40x and ATH-M50x Headphones.

Q: 10. We are converting HDMI to SDI using a BMD micro converter so we can send a teleprompter PC output to our router. However, our teleprompters only have composite BNC. Can we use this to convert the SDI signal coming from our converter to composite BNC and send it to our router?

A: Yes, the Decimator 2 will be able to convert an SDI signal to composite BNC.
