Whether you're a keyboardist who wants a powerful tool to get the best from your instrument, a live performer looking for a complete solution to manage your set, or a studio musician making music from scratch, Pyramid provides you with a radical new workflow and almost unlimited possibilities."

Some interesting highlights:

"Discover Squarp powerful MIDI effects

Pyramid integrates state-of-the-art real-time MIDI effects. On each track you can stack 4 effect engines – including quantization, swing, delay, randomizer, glitch, humanizer, harmonizer, arpeggiator... and many more to come.

The FX manager makes it very simple to set and remove an effect, or to change its place in the chain. Perfect for live performances as well as studio composition."

"Euclidean grooves

Pyramid offers one algorithmic euclidean sequencer engine per track, auto generating uncommon and rich rhythmic patterns.

Change the number of total steps, the number of filled steps, the step width, rotate the pattern, all of this on the fly. The displayed euclidean circle helps you to visualize the pattern."

"Polyrhythms!

Pyramid is fully polyrhythmic. This means that you can set different and unusual time signatures on each track, to create shifted-beat sequences. Polyrhythmic constructions will bring new flavours to your productions.

You can set a track with a 4/4 standard signature, and for the other tracks 5/4, 6/8, 15/8... The direct access button enables you to change the left and right numbers without limitation. It's an incredible and easy way to add complexity to your songs!

To go further in experimentation, add or remove steps to your measure to create polymetric tracks and irrational rhythms."

Pittsburgh Modular Announces New FLTR Eurorack Module

"The Fltr is a voltage controlled, analog, state variable filter. A distilled version of our classic Filter module offers the same warm and gummy sounds in half the space. The Fltr utilizes the same core circuitry as our Filter module so the sound is identical. The state variable topology was chosen because it allowed us to produce a very smooth and natural sounding filter, in addition to offering several filter states, each with a unique sound and energy all their own.

The Sound Remains
The Fltr offers a warm, organic sweep through the full frequency range. The lowpass filter is gummy and relaxed while the highpass is clean and defined. The goal was to produce a filter that does not have a single sweet spot. We worked to make every turn of a knob offer something musically engaging.

Filter Responses
Multiple filter responses are available simultaneously including lowpass, highpass, and bandpass."
