tiptop audio z5000 price : $199.00

the z5000 provides a practical and economical means of adding digital stereo effects to the monophonic sounds of a modular synthesizer. the z5000's twelve stereo effects include seven different types of reverbs, ranging from dry reflection to highly diffused tail, two ping-pong delays, two triplet delays, and a smooth chorus. it also includes four mono effects including: a linear comb filter (flanger), an exponential comb filter (two-stage phaser), a monophonic delay and a +/-1 octave pitch shifter.

one of the unique features of the z5000 is that each of the sixteen dsp programs offers a smooth parameter sweep using the front panel controls and/or an external positive or bi-polar cv. coupled with the available digital effects, the z5000 is able to be fully integrated into a system, making post-processing of modular synth sound effortless by eliminating the need for long cables with adaptors running to external multi-effects processors. and because the z5000 is designed to handle 'hot' modular signals, it helps prevent audio clipping caused by un-matched signal levels.

the z5000 hardware combines the benefits of analog patch cables with the sound of 24bit digital effects in a convenient eurorack module that is easily integrated into your system like any other analog module.
