The new Z4000 NS from Tiptop Audio is not your average envelope generator
Voltage-controlled EG with built-in CV processor
Tiptop Audio has announced a new voltage-controlled, analogue envelope generator module, called the Z4000 NS.
Based on your classic ADSR envelope, the Z4000 features a built-in CV processor and is capable of scaling, inverting, and deviation of the envelope shape.
It can generate quite snappy envelope shapes, which are perfect for crafting percussive tones and as the video shows, you can give some real punch to bass and the Z4000 is also capable of sidechaining signals.
A full breakdown of the Z4000 NS module can be found on the Tiptop Audio website, although there’s no current word on price.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
