Tiptop Audio OCTOPUS USB + MIDI to ART Interface

OCTOPUS is a powerhouse ART controller that takes MIDI in via the USB or DIN connector and outputs 8 ART channels with 8 velocity CV plus 8 drum triggers. Together with the ART oscillators the OCTOPUS provide unprecedented simplicity connecting the modular to your computer sequencers, hardware midi sequencers and keyboards. Each ART channel can play polyphonic notes, monophonic notes or create multi-channel polyphony using an internal voice manager. All together OCTOPUS can play more voices and notes from a single controller than ever was possible in modular. Using ART high speed control signals OCTOPUS can maintain very low jitter for tight timing. OCTOPUS is our first ART controller with more to follow, it is required to get started with ART. Please note, OCTOPUS is not a 1V/Oct midi to CV and should not be confused as one.
