Description

Elevate your modular synthesizer setup with the Tiptop Audio CP909, a compact yet powerful analog clap module that brings the iconic sounds of the TR-909 right into your Eurorack system. This module is a precise recreation of the original 909 clap circuit, enhanced with a unique Trash control that broadens your sonic palette, allowing you to craft everything from classic claps to more experimental percussive textures.

At the heart of the CP909 lies a sophisticated sound generation system, featuring a special triple sawtooth envelope generator that modulates a VCA fed by a logic-based pseudo-noise source. This complex internal architecture ensures that every clap sound produced is rich, authentic, and full of character. Additionally, the built-in pulse-shaping circuit offers versatile triggering options, letting you activate the module using any trigger, gate, pulse, or clock source you prefer.

Designed to be user-friendly and efficient, the CP909 measures just 4HP wide and 36mm deep, making it an easy fit into any Eurorack setup. Whether you're a seasoned producer or a modular newcomer, this module offers a seamless way to inject the legendary 909 clap into your musical creations.
