Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Keyboard v1.1 Firmware Update

video upload by Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers

Taiga Keyboard firmware 1.1 is now available for download at https://pittsburghmodular.com/taiga.

Firmware Version 1.1 Changelog:
• USB MIDI Added
• Corrected USB device name to "Taiga_Keyboard"
• Added some slight slew limiting to Aftertouch control to make it more expressively usable/
eliminate some signal noise.
• Rescaled keybed velocity to make use of the full output range.
• Fixed the pitch bend wheel so that it only sends Midi data when outside the center pitch,
and also it always returns to zero.
• Pitchbend in Paraphonic Mode Fixed
• Fixed MIDI clock subdivision; was previously not subdividing the MIDI clock.
• Added random wave mode to the oscillators
• Added random filter mode to the filter section
• Edit button now adds an arp note when running the arpeggiator in hold mode.
• Clock properly handles MIDI clock microstepping so that the ARP will deterministically
trigger on midi pulse 0 (out of 6) after receiving a MIDI clock start command.
• MIDI mod-wheel CC command is scaled to the value of the mod controller output rather
than just outputting the position of the mod wheel, giving access to the mod controller functionality to outboard midi gear when using taiga keys as a midi controller.
• Rewrote the mod wheel functionality to make full use of all 13 scalings for each mod mode, and added more behaviors to the mod modes that are selected with the octave buttons:
• 0-5v Mode
• Added 4 Sub-Modes
• 0-5-0v center low, edges high
• 5-0-5v center high, edges low
• 5-0v Inverted
• 0-5v
• LFO Mode
• Increased the range of the LFO, and fixed the phase relationship, also made the
LFO update after changing rate rather than after finishing a full cycle to make it more responsive at low frequencies. Also, added 4 Sub-Modes
• Sine Wave
• Triangle Wave
• Saw Wave
• Square Wave with PWM control rather than gain control
• Envelope Mode
• Fixed envelope length so that the mod mode value changes the length of the
envelope, rescaled the envelope lengths for all 13 values. Also, added 4 Sub- Modes
• Percussive Envelope
• Swell-y Triangle Envelope
• Reversed Percussion Envelope
• Sustain-y Envelope
• Random Mode
• Increased the number of different randomness timings, and increased the range of
these timings, and made them be more useful values that scale the randomness in a more naturally musical way. Also, added 4 Sub-Modes
• Soft Random Expression Generator
• Triangular Random Expression Generator
• Sawed Random Expression Generator
• Sample and Hold Generator

New Moog Muse Pics & Details

New MOOG MUSE - 1st Video & Audio Demo by Mike Dean

New Moog Muse 8 Voice Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer in the Works?

New Moog Keyboard Synth Spotted at Usher's Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Update: some details shared online follow. It appears to be a translation from an online shop that had it listed with an MSRP of 47380 Kroner which currently comes to $4,384.62 USD. Note I have no way of verifying the price or the following is legit, so take it all with a grain of salt. Also all but the 1st pic have been updated with slightly larger versions, but they are still pretty blurry.

That said, here's the info shared elsewhere online:

"Meet Muse, an eight-voice analog bi-timbral polyphonic synthesizer — the culmination of over 5 years of dreams, design, and passion. Muse is an intuitive and powerful instrument built on the rich history of Moog that simultaneously gazes boldly into the future. This studio or performance centerpiece is driven by eight analog voices, each with two VCOs, modulation VCO, dual VCFs, and a stereo VCA — all with that...

We've selected the very best of vintage Moog circuits to create Muse – inspired by Moog Voyager oscillators, MF-102 Ring Modulator, CP3 Mixer, 902 VCA module, and a 904A Filter. With 16 banks of 16 patches, you'll encounter beautiful pads, organic FM plucks, attention-grabbing leads, subterranean basses, stage-oriented key splits, as well as 2 banks reserved for your own sonic discoveries.

CP3-style saturating mixer per-voice with Ring Mod, Noise, and either clean or saturated mix; Dual discrete transistor ladder VCFs per-voice with switchable routing configurations; Stereo discrete transistor VCA per-voice per patch.

Dual discrete transistor ladder VCFs per-voice with switchable routing configurations; Stereo discrete transistor VCA per-voice based on the Moog 902 Module. Dual ADSR envelopes per-voice with variable curves, looping, velocity response, and assignable to any destination; Two LFOs with unique waveshapes, dedicated Pitch LFO, and 16 per-voice triggered Random Generators - all routed via 16 modulation slots per-timbre, per-patch

Bi-timbrality and Voice Control: two independent timbres per-patch can be stacked or split across the keyboard; Advanced arpeggiator with rhythmic programming, expanded patterns, and generative behavior; Chord Memory with programmable per-key chord shapes; 64-step sequencer with Clock Division, Transport controls, Sequence chaining, Step editing, Modulation capabilities, and memory capacity of 16 banks of 16 sequences...

61 key semi-weighted full size Fatar keybed with velocity and channel aftertouch.

Diffusion Delay™: a hypnotic stereo processor inspired by golden era vintage digital rack delays with a unique and powerful set of diffusion, multi-tap, and filter behaviors. Craft complex echoes and diffused tonal smears that add dimension and depth to any patch. In addition to Muse's creative immediacy, the powerful arpeggiator invites you to generate melodic ideas with compelling patterns and rhythms. With Muse's sequencer, you'll unravel unique patterns and gestures — further develop these discoveries with parameter recording, probabilistic editing, and much more; 16 banks of 16 patches for a total of 256 patch memory"

A GUIDE TO MANIC & voltages, synthesis and modular sound design in general // DivKid & Apollo View

video upload by DivKid

"In this 'guide to Manic' video I've taken the approach of not just showcasing the capabilities (and how to use them) of the DivKid & Apollo View Modular Eurorack module 'Manic' ... but rather to step back, look at how these functions work and make a tutorial that's applicable to lots of other gear, modules, hardware, software etc.

These are voltages, sounds, it's how sound design and synthesis comes together from these building blocks. So if you have, or are curious about, VCAs, Ring Modulation, Wavefolders, Clippers, Distortion, Bipolar TZAM ... join us for this video and I hope it inspires some new sounds and patching with Manic or other gear.

*Manic is out now in all good modular stores*"

Sequential Prophet rev2 // a unique sounding synthesizer

video upload by Daniel Mana

"The Sequential Prophet rev2 is a unique sounding synthesizer, I have read so many things about it, a lot of people say it doesn't good, some say it's the best synth ever, well....I love it!
Does it sound like a Prophet 5? No
Does it sound like a Prophet? Absolutely yes
Is it better or worse than a Prophet 5? it's different, it has its own sounds and I really like it, you can dial in any sound really, and it does sound big!
There is one thing though that I've read and I do agree with, it's not an "easy" synth, and by easy I mean that it does take a little bit longer in order to dial in a certain sound that you are looking for.
It offers infinite possibilities of modulation, maybe too many, but it's very easy to use and intuitive.
The possibilty to split the keyboard or to stack two layers of sounds makes it a beast!"

Synthex Sketches (Elka Synthex Mk1)

video upload by Reuben Jones

"A bunch of Synthex clips, mainly sequences. Most of the bass sequences were recorded using the sequencer's Real Time record feature which records whatever you play on the keyboard in real time including rests and ties. It also has a step-entry mode called Pulse Time in which you can record each note step-by-step and insert rests and ties along the way. You can even record a sequence in Pulse Time and then record another sequencer track on top using Real Time."

An Erica trio: LXR-02, Nightverb & Zen delay

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Two related patterns on the LXR-02 with manual playing over the top. The set-up is simple: A single stereo pair out with the left going to the Zen delay (then out in stereo); and the right going to the Nightverb (also out in stereo).

Some of the voices are panned hard left for Zen-only effect; others right-only for the Nightverb; and some have a little of both. Only using a single stereo pair makes things easy to setup and gives the option to blend between the effects per voice with the pan control.

The Nightverb shows preset 2 "The Temple" but in fact every control is in its actual position. I've happily learned how to use the low and high damp since my "first day" Nightverb video :) The Zen of course is always in WYSIWYG mode. Half the LXR-02 voices are programmed, the other I play manually with the auto-roll function on 16ths. In both patterns the Nightverb and Zen stay on the same settings and I concentrate on playing the LXR-02. There is absolutely no post-processing of any kind, not even output limiting, everything is as you see it.

As always let me know if there's anything you want see in upcoming videos.
