Generate harmonically rich sounds with the Tiptop Audio VORTEX, an ART wavetable dual-oscillator mono voice source in Eurorack format that can be used to build polyphonic and multivoice patches. The module features two vintage '80s D/A converters to feed your filters and effect processors, ensuring an authentic vintage wavetable sound.

VORTEX comes loaded with dozens of wavetables, and you can load additional user wavetables from the front-panel SD card. A detune knob controls the second VCO and adds effects from deep phasing to a sub octave. The position knob and CV input selects waves in the tables and vibrato from LFOs to create FM. Like other ART sound generators, a dedicated Gate output manages the voice envelope or any modulation synced to that voice. VORTEX is a great companion to the analog ATX1 and a must for digital synthesist enthusiasts.

Q: 9. I have a rodecaster, and I want to be able to feed Zoom audio during my livestream out USB, into this box, out through the TRS, and into a mic input on the Rodecaster. Will that work?

A: Yes you can do that. I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to allow communication between the mics connected to the Rodecaster Pro and Zoom; a much simpler solution would be to connect the Rodecaster Pro to the computer that you are using Zoom on via USB and then go to Preferences--- Sound and select the Rodecaster Pro as your audio input/output device for the computer. From there, anyone using mics connected to the Rodecaster Pro should be able to communicate with the caller(s) that you have on Zoom.

[8 HP] I bought this interface to use with my laptop for recording my vocals. I did a quick test and everything worked great and sounded great. Highly recommend this mini interface for recording a single instrument or vocals. It's easy to setup as well and the driver installs instantly on windows 7 and windows 10. Includes phantom power. 5

[0.385 lb] I use this to connect my remote controlled mp3 player to sound systems for my shows. I love using the 1/8 inch connection, it's much simpler and an easier cable to carry than the 1/8 to RCA. And the summing of the stereo channels to mono seems to be flawless with this DI. It is the perfect companion for anyone who presents shows or lectures using an iPod, computer, or just about any stereo input source to mono Canon XLR inputs. It's a little bit bigger and bulkier than the comparable Ross, but for the difference in price the rugged construction and input options far outweighed the convenience of the smaller size. 5

[0.385 lb] We used the AV Direct for a permeant installation of a computer and it works flawlessly! I'd recommend it to anyone of my clients 5

Derrick	25/08/2024
[8 HP] exactly what I need. 5

[2 (Wavetable)] Really fun module. You can sample into it from outside your rack. Cool stuff 5

[Analog] I manage the AV department at a Resort Hotel. These boxes work great to patch any type of audio source into our house sound system. I made a kit that has 1/4 to 1/4 cable, 1/8 to 1/8 cable, stereo RCA cables, as well as an XLR cable. This allows me to connect virtually any output source into our house system via a balanced XLR cable. 5

[2 (Wavetable)] This synth is winning award after award, and for good reason. Hybrid wavetable synthesizer. 24 voices, 4-part multitimbral. 3 oscillators per voice. 64 user wavetables. 32 wavetables from classic PPG synths built-in. 7 modeled analog waveforms: sine, saw, triangle, pulse, white noise, pink noise. I'm digging the virtual analog just as much as my analog OB-X8. Honestly, this may be the only synth you ever need? Got it in one day from B&H at a good price too. 5

PDC3407	08/08/2024
[Analog] The AV Direct allowed me to use the center channel output from my Home Theater Receiver (speaker level) as the input to a Pro Monitor that I found used. My main speakers are Infinity Modulus with a ribbon-style (EMIT) tweeter. The only match I've found at reasonable cost is the Adam Pro series with their X-ART tweeters, but my Pioneer receiver doesn't offer pre-amp outputs. The AV Direct came to the rescue, allowing the amp inside the Adam Pro monitor to do its work. I matched levels by ear without difficulty.This solution is simple and certainly less costly than buying a 1k or so Home Theater Receiver with preamp outputs. 5

[8 HP] This mixer is a great value and performs perfectly as an audio interface for our Internet stream. 5

[Eurorack Power] Takes just about any input including speaker leads and converts them to a mic level output - the gain control knob is extremely useful. 5
