Classic VCF with Advanced Control

Along with the oscillator, the biggest defining characteristic of any subtractive synth is the filter, and Tiptop Audio's Z2040 4-pole VCF module is a perfect way to inject your Eurorack synth with tons of personality. At its simplest level, this 4-pole lowpass filter delivers the creamy sonic shaping and fat resonance many of us here at Sweetwater seek out when building modular rigs intended to invoke a late-'70s/early-'80s Sequential Circuits vibe. The Z2040 gets even better when you patch in CV or audio signal to its four modulation inputs, which provide everything from standard FM control to gain, resonance, and FM signal modulation, making it an ideal VCF for complex synth systems.

Tiptop Audio Z2040 4-pole VCF Eurorack Module Features:
  • A Eurorack module take on a classic voltage-controlled filter
  • VCF chip similar to the SSM2040 in the original Prophet-5
  • 4-pole lowpass filter includes tons of resonance for harmonic manipulation
  • Standard FM control with FM signal modulation onboard
  • Control gain, resonance, FM, and VC-FM with additional CV/audio signal inputs
Experience epic sound shaping with Tiptop Audio's Z2040 4-pole VCF Eurorack module!

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
