East Beast Patching With Bata

video uploads by Bata

"Grabbed the West Pest a few weeks ago and was quite happy with it so decided to try it's sibling as well. Overall I think it's good although the way some of the knobs are scaled is a little peculiar and hard to use. Setting the right amount of vibrato or a subtle attack amount can be quite tricky even for experienced synth rats. The filter, oscillator, and VCA all sound really good though. Audio-rate modulation of the VCO pulse width and vca level sound particularly good on this synth."

Pittsburgh Modular & Cre8 Audio: Working Together to Bring us Nice Synths!

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Pittsburgh Modular and Cre8 Audio work closely together, but what’s behind the collaboration and where does one start and the other end? What is this mysterious relationship that works in the shadows and makes amazing value superb little synths?

Richard Nichol from Pittsburgh was more than happy to explain when we met up at @superboothberlin"

Superbooth 2023: Pittsburgh Modular - Taiga

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Richard Nicol, CEO of Pittsburgh Modular at Superbooth 2023. While they are not presenting anything new, they are proud to show Taiga, which is only a few months old. The three-oscillator monosynth with dedicated wave folders and unique waveforms. They call the initial wave shape seeds, and their wave folder allows them to hit it in fascinating ways and create unique sounds that are not found elsewhere. They aim to innovate at the same pace as digital synthesis, adding unique features to analog synthesis. Richard also talked about their dynamics controller, which is similar to a low-pass gate, providing organic plucky sounds that decay naturally.

Pittsburgh Modular is sneaking in a few new things, including their local parks oscillator and the toad phase shifter, which is a 12-stage analog phase shifter. Richard's favorite panel is the toad, which has a red toad with the LFO as the eye. They also have the Narwhal module, which is their take on analog physical modeling, using analog resistors and capacitors to create something that sounds real. The cymbals produced by the Narwhal sound authentic, but they can be tweaked to fall apart and become very digital and synthetic. We also got a look at some experiments including the Local Parks Oscillator and the Toad 12 stage analogue phase shifter, and Richard hinted there may be a drum machine on the horizon.

5 Ways To Waveshape w/ the Taiga From Pittsburgh Modular

video upload by Reverb

"Combining the best of East and West Coast designs, the Taiga includes Buchla-style wave shapers that are a blast to play with and incredibly useful in crafting unique tones."

Pittsburgh Taiga // When 2 Worlds Collide

video upload by Starsky Carr

"THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS... in a single synth. I remember when a 3 oscillator modular synth would have cost a small fortune... and here we are with not just a 'standard' 3 osc synth, but we have Waveshaping oscillators and Pittsburgh's low pass gate as well.

So we've loads of options when designing a tone - we can modulate the waveshapes - which can sound like it's being filtered.. or we can filter it.. or we can use the LPG!... Marvellous .. and with all the patch points we can do all 3 simultaneously on different oscillators :)"

The New King of Semi-Modular // Pittsburgh Modular Taiga

video upload by Jorb

"All in all, this is such a dope product. oscillators this flexible, with a filter and the dynamics controller immediately the sound palette crosses so many conventional boundaries. I am hooked on the idea of getting multiple voices out of this as a self contained unit, but even without patching this just slaps.

Pittsburgh has got a banger on their hands.

Pittsburgh TAIGA - a chat with the makers - Presentation

video upload by sonicstate

"We got a remote group together with @pittsburghmodular Richard Nicol and Michael Johnsen, @GazWilliams and editor Nick to take a look and have a chat about the new Taiga module.
Its kind of a Pittsburgh Modular greatest hits, with three complex waveshaping and warping oscillators, a 2-pole multimode filter, plus a Low Pass Gate together with the resonance control.
It draws from their range of previous modules including the SV-1, Voltage Research Lab and Capt Big O. There's a couple of envelopes, a mixer section with drive, noise, LFO and digital functions like S+H, plus a lot of patch-ability."

Pittsburgh Modular Taiga [Sounds Only Demo] |No Talking|

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2023

The anticipated new Pittsburgh Modular Taiga synth just rolled in the door. I knew I was going to be messing with it all day, so I figured may as well film it and share some curated noise with you. Patched some bass sounds and one clip making weird sound effects. Sounds really good, looking forward to using it in some new tracks.

This video was not sponsored by Pittsburgh Modular, nor Cre8audio. Paid for this unit with my own money. After all, I'm just another synth enthusiast just like you :D

A small amount of delay coming from Behringer DD400 for stereo widening only. Otherwise recorded direct to Tascam DR-05, no additional mastering or effects."
