CHIPZ = BEEP, BOP, BOOP, BLEEP, WIZChipz is a chiptune-inspired eurorack synth module, which will take you back to the halcyon sounds of the ‘80s. Cre8audio started out the idea that Chipz would be a 3 oscillator synth that takes you to an alternate universe in which your old console isn’t for playing video games but is a module in your eurorack compatible system, the idea evolved into something a bit higher resolution with a bunch more horsepower.

Cre8audio describe chips as ideal for those who speak “bleep blop”. They say that Chipz is “full of heaping piles of beeps, blops, and probably some other stuff too. It’s got a couple of voices and some wacky LFO junk, perfect for getting your body wobbling”

Putting all of that into language you might understand a little more, Chipz is a dual VCO and dual LFO module with each offering sine, triangle, saw, square and noise waveforms.

• Width = 12hp (hp = horizontal pitch)
• Depth = 30mm

Waveforms:
• chip1 – sine, triangle, saw, square, noise
• chip2 – sine, triangle, saw, square, noise
• LFO – sine, triangle, saw, square, noise
• 35mA power draw when running +12V rail
• 30mA power draw when running +5V rail
• 19mA power draw when running -12V
• 0-5V voltage range LFO output 1
• 0-5.8V voltage range LFO output 2

Frequency range of oscillators
• chip1 – out 91 ~ 1.47K
• chip2 – out 91 ~ 1.47K
• lfo – out1 75.75m ~ 2
• lfo – out2 370m ~ 10
• Input voltage range of oscillators = 0-10V
• Minimum voltage required to set LFO trigger input high = 0.7 ~ 5V
