Tiptop Audio has teamed up with Buchla to bring back classic Buchla 200 series modules to the modern Eurorack format, including the 281t Quad Function Generator Eurorack module. Loaded with four function generators, the 281t can either operate all function generators independently, or link them in pairs to generate more complex output voltages. Each generator supports three operation modes ? transient, sustained, and cyclic ? allowing you to generate a wide range of envelopes and LFO shapes. And with a control input that allows you to cycle any of the function generators using a gate signal, the Tiptop Audio 281t Quad Function Generator module from Sweetwater can quickly turn a basic Eurorack patch into something you’ve never heard before.
