Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Keyboard Synthesizer - Ex Demo

Full Description

Powerful Taiga oscillators - incorporated from the original desktop module

Experience a new dimension of sound with the Taiga oscillators of the Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Keyboard Synthesizer. Unlike traditional analog synthesis, these oscillators produce waveforms that go beyond basic geometric shapes and sounds. Each oscillator is equipped with three proprietary cascading waveshapers, allowing for precise manipulation of symmetry and harmonic content.

You can further enhance the complexity and depth of your sounds with the six-stage wave folder included in each oscillator. With Taiga, you'll have access to a diverse sonic palate that offers endless creative possibilities.

Unique signature sound of the 'Pittsburgh' filter

At the heart of Pittsburgh Modular's signature sound lies the Pittsburgh filter, a feature that has defined their brand from the beginning. The filter on the Taiga Keyboard Synthesizer is no exception. Offering a warm and smooth sweep across the full frequency range, this filter ensures that no dead spots are present in your audio.

Its sweet resonance adds a touch of character that remains present even in the low end. The Pittsburgh filter is designed to perfectly complement the Taiga's oscillators, resulting in a harmonious interplay between the two components.

Advanced dynamic control for intricate sound shaping

Take your music to the next level with the Pittsburgh Dynamics Controller in the Taiga Keyboard Synthesizer. This innovative technology brings a uniquely organic depth and presence to your sound. Unlike traditional VCAs found in other synthesizers, the Pittsburgh Dynamics Controller manages both amplitude and harmonic content simultaneously.

By incorporating advanced techniques from low pass gates, it adds definition and dimension to the voice of the Taiga. The low pass gate mode creates warmer sounds as they decrease in volume, mimicking the natural behaviour of sound waves. This dynamic approach gives the Taiga a more natural and complex sound compared to other instruments.

Integrated mixer, high-end effects and versatile connectivity

The Taiga Keyboard Synthesizer is not just about its outstanding oscillators, filter, and dynamics control. Pittsburgh Modular has gone above and beyond to ensure that this synthesizer covers all your musical needs. It comes equipped with a range of additional features that will take your music-making experience to new heights.

With MIDI to CV conversion, you can seamlessly integrate the Taiga with other MIDI devices in your setup. The mixer and preamp, complete with a soft clipping overdrive limiter circuit, allow you to shape and enhance your sound to perfection. The analog bucket brigade delay adds captivating echoes to your compositions, while the dual envelope generators and LFO provide precise control over modulation.

For added versatility, the Taiga includes a noise generator, clock-synced arpeggiator, and an internal clock with tap tempo that can be externally synced. You can use the Taiga without patching, or explore its 60 patch points to use its components as separate modules with external devices, opening up a world of creative possibilities.
