Description: A Beastly Biome of Preeminent Paraphonic Performance Making sonic waves since 2012, Pittsburgh Modular unveils another cutting-edge instrument that is a testament to forward-looking analog synthesis: Taiga. A semi-modular machine with a fully removable housing, this 60HP, Eurorack-compatible synth is a powerhouse of paraphonic performance. Multi-stage wavefolders work with 100% analog oscillators to create harmonically rich, highly customizable sonics, going well beyond the expected geometry of analog synthesis. A suite of LFOs, envelope generators, ADSR, mixers, an arpeggiator, and an all-analog bucket brigade delay are just a handful of these many points of aural control, endlessly refined by the company’s hallmark variable-state, multimode, “No Dead Spots” filter. Moreover, this synth can be controlled entirely by MIDI or CV, affording unmatched flexibility that Sweetwater’s synthesists find makes Taiga easily integrated into virtually any setup, all without compromising its distinctive, rich sound.Discover new sonic horizons While each of Taiga’s three oscillators includes Sweetwater is an Authorized Pittsburgh Modular Dealer Genuine New Item Sweetwater's 2-year warranty Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Semi-modular Paraphonic Synthesizer 60HP Semi-modular Paraphonic Synthesizer Module with 3 Oscillators, 3 Wavefolders, 2 ADSR/Envelope Generators, Multi-mode Filter, Noise, FM, S&H, LFO, Preamp, Bucket Brigade Delay, Dynamics Controller, Arpeggiator, Dual Channel Mixer, CV, MIDI, and USB-C A Beastly Biome of Preeminent Paraphonic Performance Making sonic waves since 2012, Pittsburgh Modular unveils another cutting-edge instrument that is a testament to forward-looking analog synthesis: Taiga.

Moreover, this synth can be controlled entirely by MIDI or CV, affording unmatched flexibility that Sweetwater’s synthesists find makes Taiga easily integrated into virtually any setup, all without compromising its distinctive, rich sound.Discover new sonic horizons While each of Taiga’s three oscillators includes the classic sine, triangle, and saw waveforms, they can be combined to produce new, intergrading shapes. These shapes can be further sculpted by the 6-stage wavefolder circuit, generating rich harmonics without causing the waves to collapse into themselves. If that weren’t enough, each oscillator features its own FM controls, further supplementing your sound with distinction. Plus, an onboard noise generator delivers something pitched between white and pink noises, easily used for percussive, rhythmic sounds, or supplying an edge to your patch.Sculpt aural landscapes and harmonic vistas One of Pittsburgh Modular’s most notable innovations is their “No Dead Spots” variable-state, multimode filter. This filter is capable of individual or simultaneous lowpass, bandpass, and highpass configurations, maintaining rich sonics throughout the spectrum. Never content to settle, the company invented the Pittsburgh Dynamics Section, a dynamic controller that adds a release time to their vactrol-less lowpass gate circuit, functioning like an alternative to both an envelope generator and a VCA. Of course, you still get two all-analog ADSR and envelope generators, as well as a dual-range analog LFO, which hosts both square and triangle waveforms.Complete control on your terms The modularity of this module doesn’t stop with its removable housing and rackmountable design. Virtually every parameter in this versatile synth can be controlled via CV, with a front-mounted 60-point patch bay designed to accommodate countless arrangements for both external management and use of Taiga to control plenty of other compatible devices. Taiga can also be controlled via MIDI, which includes a MIDI-to-CV converter, drastically expanding control potential to make Taiga the central nervous system of the most ambitious arrangements. Case iin point, the digital multi-mod tool allows for deep modulation control alongside a random generator, as well as an additional LFO and envelope generator.Unmatched audio processing In addition to its clock-syncable arppegiator, Taiga includes a built-in clock divider and a sample & hold circuit, allowing for complex, rhythmically derived sequences. You’ll notice that Taiga includes a 4-channel mixer, which also has the ability to be broken out into two 2-channel mixers, and is capable of managing audio or CV signals. There’s also the highly flexible built-in preamp, comprised of a high-gain, soft-clipping overdrive limiter. Use it to clearly attenuate external audio or take it into overdrive for internal signals, which produces a rich, fattening tone. If this weren’t enough, Taiga features a 100% analog bucket brigade delay managed by the Echos area to texturize your tones with dimensional flavor.Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Semi-modular Paraphonic Synthesizer Features: 60HP module with removable housing can be used in Eurorack or desktop setups Fully patchable 60-point bay provides unfettered control via CV TRS MIDI input includes MIDI-to-CV conversion, allowing for complex MIDI control of Taiga and anything connected via CV outputs 3 oscillators are 100% analog, producing rich tones across sine, triangle, saw, and intergrading waveforms 6-stage wavefolder/waveshaper circuit bends waves in on themselves for enhanced harmonic growth Per-oscillator frequency modulation (FM) provides even more harmonic opportunity Noise generator is between pink and pure white, great for percussive snaps or melodic edge Multimode “No Dead Spots” filter enables individual or combined uses of lowpass, bandpass, and highpass modes Dynamics section delivers previously-unavailable control over the vactrol-less LPG circuit by attenuating release times Dual-range LFO feature square and triangle wave options for complex patch construction 2 ADSR/envelope generators allow for greater sonic shaping and patch-integrated control Onboard preamp utilizes soft-clipping overdrive limiter circuit to attenuate external audio or distort internal audio for greater textural design Echos spatializes your output with a 100% analog bucket brigade delay SpecificationDetail Type Paraphonic Synthesizer Analog/Digital Analog Oscillators 3 x Analog, Fequency Modulation (FM) Waveforms Sine, Triangle, Saw Envelope Generator 2 x ADSR LFO Dual Range Filter Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass Arpeggiator Clock-synced Analog Outputs 1 x 1/8" TS (main out) Headphones 1 x 1/8" TRS Other I/O 60 x 1/8" patchbay points (including main out, headphones) Power Supply Tiaga Wall-wart Power Supply (included) Power Usage 650mA HP Size 60HP Depth 1.57" RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
