MATRIXSYNTH NAMM 2013: Pittsburgh Modular at the Noisebug Booth

Uploaded on Jan 29, 2013 matrixsynth·249 videos

My first stop at NAMM was the Noisebug booth starting with Pittsburgh Modular. As I previously posted I was intrigued by their new offerings which presented eurorack modular systems as self contained stand alone synthesizers rather than individual modules.  In my opinion, this format helps break one of the psychological barriers behind getting into modulars.  Rather than starting with an empty case and contemplating what modules to fill it with, you can essentially by a desktop synth, get your hands wet to see if you are comfortable with modulars and then expand from there.  Richard goes into this perspective, why he decided to create these systems and what each is geared for.  Unfortunately they were not patched up for an audio demo at the time.  You'll find details on each in my previous post and of course the Pittsburgh Modular website.  At the booth, pictured below, are the various configurations of the Cell 48, the Cell 90, the Pittsburgh Modular Foundation, and the Foundation with Expander.  Click each for the super size shot.
