ONE includes a card called VCTRS featuring 60 carefully chosen sounds from the 5 sound banks developed by Glitchmachines. We have included some of the most compelling material from each bank in order to showcase ONE’s strengths and demonstrate the broad range of sounds available on the PERC, SBSTRT, KERNL, HYBRD, and BENT cards which are available separately from Eurorack retailers.

VCTRS and the other Glitchmachines cards include the entire sound set sampled at 48kHz, 64 kHz, and 96kHz. The 48kHz rate allows for easy pitching up of one octave, 64kHz offers some upward pitch while maintaining much of the 96kHz fidelity and full 96kHz source offers the purity of the source as well as the lowest latency possible for great performance.

Forthcoming cards from a wide array of sound designers, artists, and producers will expand the range to include poly and mono synth tones, field recordings and even CV source material.

KERNL features 256 ultra-modern layered and processed sounds with distinct percussive qualities specifically geared toward use within the modular ecosystem. You will find a carefully selected set of sounds captured on the surface of an imaginary world somewhere deep in the mind of sound designer Ivo Ivanov. This library includes hyper-stylized digital impacts, mutated organisms, granulated liquids, twisted mechanical vocalizations, morphing textures, digitally generated tones, eerie detuned vocalizations, biomechanical malfunctions, creatures interface effects, and otherworldly articulations that defy categorization.

BENT features 256 sounds harvested from a variety of customized circuit bent instruments. We recorded an exhaustive collection of bent vintage educational toys and toy keyboards that were all hand-built by sound designer Ivo Ivanov over the course of five years. The lo-fi character of this sample pack is perfectly at home in the modular synth domain and compliments its already vastly diverse sonic landscape by injecting it with a highly nuanced and rare set of sounds that can be integrated as percussive effects along with existing modules.

HYBRD features 256 Foley and field recordings that have been treated with numerous binary manipulation techniques. We have carefully used just the right amount of processing on a diverse collection of freshly recorded natural sounds in order to give the material a unique and stylized electronic aesthetic. These sounds have familiar undertones, but are presented in creative ways that suggest they belong to a sonic universe of unknown origins right inside the modular.

SBSTRT features 256 recordings of raw, natural earth sounds, all of which were created by manipulating numerous materials such as metal, stone, ice, earth, plastic, wood, vegetables, fruit, and liquid to name just a few. Everyday sounds you may hear in a construction site, warehouse, traffic, crowd, factory, subway, garden, park, office or forest have been identified, performed and captured for integrating into the modular synth. These raw and unprocessed sounds were carefully edited to highlight their percussive qualities, making them an ideal counterpart to the electronic modular sound palette.

PERC features 256 percussion sounds with tight attacks and a bright harmonic spectrum. This collection is specifically focused on shorter percussive samples and includes material such as multi- layer drum and percussion hits, chopped and processed loops, synthesized FM strikes, mallet and bell tones, sampled drum machines, various toms and hand drums, obscure noise boxes, sampled old-school game chips and much more. PERC makes full use of ONE’s snappy character.

Character: Deep, Tech House

V Haus features 256 Deep House chords formed, structured, and shaped from a variety of classic and modern-day synths by Voltage Disciple’s chief sound designer Richard Somerville. The chord structures have been especially chosen to provide the configurations often used in Deep House and provide a starting point or stepping off point for complex chords in the modular environment. Some samples have subtle delays and reverbs which add characteristics often found in Deep House whilst others remain dry to allow the user further experimentation with modular delays, reverbs, and effects. With ONE’s tape-like pitch control these chords turn into beautiful pads and bass material inside the modular.

DOTS features 256 short, one-shot sounds created specifically for ONE to further extend ZV_K’s live Tiptop drum setup. These sounds were selected for their percussive transient response, but are also great as monophonic sound sources to use alongside analog synth when sequenced. DOTS are samples of the signature sounds of Buchla, Cwejman, Mutable Instruments, Jomox, Mungo, Industrial Music Electronics (aka The Harvestman), HexInverter, Make Noise, Elektron, Vermona, Audio Damage, Bastl, Epoch, and Delptronics, as well as some human voice artifacts and even a prepared piano. Each sound was carefully selected from hours of recordings, edited but not altered to retain the original sound’s qualities and dynamics and was extensively tested using the module to make sure all the sounds sound good at any setting. DOTS are very easy to fit into a mix, run through effects, and are very well suited to be used and abused by a modular system.

Tiptop Audio and Joseph Fraioli come together in the form of the new the Datach’i One card. The card, to be used exclusively in the Tiptop ONE Sample Player, contains 187 unique sounds ranging from organic recorded elements and electronic percussion to dramatic gestures, ambiences and melodic sequences. Created with Field Recordings, the Eurorack modular synthesizer, Symbolic Sound Kyma system and boutique electro acoustic instruments, all sounds were recorded at 24 bit / 96k quality.

Joseph Fraioli is the Sound Designer/Owner of Jafbox Sound and makes electronic music under the alias Datach’i. His inspiration behind the Datach’i card stems from building upon built material, a resampling technique he often uses in his sound design work. “Having access to sounds as singular samples allows you to continue to build off of them,” Fraioli says. “From there, you can discover a deeper layer of textures the same material.”
As Datach’i, Fraioli has released 6 full length albums between 1999 and 2006 on labels including Planet Mu and Sunlight. In 2016, after a decade’s absence, he returned to his Datach’i alias for a brand new album, “System,” which features 16 tracks of beautiful yet unsettling electronic music created and performed exclusively on a Eurorack modular synthesizer.

In Fraioli’s sound design work for advertising and film, he strives to create a unique and immersive world that pushes boundaries and surprises listeners through use of custom innovative sound design. Fraioli’s work has been featured in many commercials for brands such as Google, Nike, IBM, Playstation, Budweiser and Delta. His sound design work can also be heard in the feature film “Kin,” slated for release in August 2018. Additionally, he has produced sound design installations for clients like Kanye West, Lady Gaga and Sonos.

STRIKE: Acoustic Percussion Elements
Format: SD Sample card for ONE Sample Player
Recorded and edited by: Kabuki
Type: One Shot
Character: Percussive, Acoustic

256 acoustic drum and percussion sounds compiled for the STRIKE micro SD card for ONE Sample Player by Tiptop Audio. STRIKE is the ideal sonic companion for analog oscillators and the sounds found in Eurorack. All sounds were painstakingly recorded using an assortment of vintage microphones, tracked through an SSL 4000 G series mixing desk then printed to 1/4“ analog tape on a well-serviced Studer A80 machine. Thanks to this detailed process, the delicate texture of each of the sounds has been retained, inviting straight-forward use or experimentations within the Modular realm.
