Tiptop Z8000 Matrix Sequencer - Manual (Page 6)

Applications.
The Z8000 is very simple to use but can create some
extremely complex control patterns. Each sequencer can
be made to step very slow or very fast up to audio
rate. Each CV output has the capability to drive many
inputs. One of the fun applications with the Z8000 is to
patch one of the sequencer’s CV out back to the clock
frequency input, creating a “swing” in the movement
from step to step. The Z8000 has 10 CV outputs that
can modulate 10 prameters in your modular, having
them change polyrhythimcally, making things move.
Although the word ‘sequencer’ is mostly known
as playing a sequence of tones (controlling the pitch
of a VCO), the Z8000 is by no means restricted to
doing only that. The Z8000 is a note sequencer but
also a modulation sequencer and a programmer of
events that happen in a predetermined time.
The Z8000 modular structure makes it interesting
to combine with various clock modifiers such as
Clock dividers, Clock sequencers, etc.
The Z8000 will work well with Quantizers to create
melodies within a scale and analog switches
to route the CV outs to diffrent destinations on your
system.
Trigger delays or EGs can be used to phase the clock
signal and are very useful in creating a “laid back”,
off the grid groove or feel.
We hope you will enjoy your Z8000.
