TipTop Audio 258T Overview
Generate complex waveforms with the Tiptop Audio Buchla 258t Dual Oscillator, with two independent voltage-controlled oscillators, a processing input, a frequency modulation input, and a 1V/oct input. Waveshapes and frequency can be voltage controlled. Model 258t oscillators feature low sinewave harmonic content, negligible settling error, and high short and long-term stability, even with rapidly changing ambient temperatures. The module ships with a ribbon power cable.
Trimmers
There are four trimmers for each oscillator on the back of the module:
- 1V/oct is the octave tracking trimmer and is set at the factory using high-precision instruments.
- SHAPE is the trimmer that set the sine wave, for the lower harmonic content of the sinewave.
- VC WAVE SHAPE sets the response of the waveshaper to the incoming control voltage. Both SHAPE and VC WAVE SHAPE trimmers are used to adjust sinewave purity.
- From version V1.2 two more trimmers were added. VPP1 and VPP2 are used to set the waveshape amplitude.
