Introducing Taiga Keyboard Expandable Analog Synthesizer


video upload by Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers



"Taiga is a complete, modern, modular instrument that allows us to explore beyond the boundaries of a traditional analog synthesizer. The sound of Taiga can be attributed to three uniquely Pittsburgh innovations. A trio of huge analog oscillators, the unmistakably smooth sound of the Pittsburgh Filter, and the warmth of our Dynamics Controller. These enable us to not only create sounds that we would traditionally expect from an analog monosynth, but to also explore new sonic textures and performance possibilities.

Unique To Taiga Keyboard

Taiga Keyboard’s larger format provides the room for a few unique features. Most obvious is a full size 37 key premium keybed with velocity and aftertouch. The dedicated pitch and modulation wheels offer instant access to a unique set of modulation tools including manual control, clock sync’d LFO, envelope, and random source. 1/4 inch left and right output jacks, and full sized MIDI in and MIDI out DIN jacks are available on the rear of the instrument. The larger format also allows Taiga Keyboard to utilize larger, more spread out knobs and a second analog LFO.

Taiga Keyboard also includes a first-of-its-kind, 24hp Eurorack format modular expansion bay. The fully modular signal path of Taiga means modules can be inserted into any point of the signal path. Install a 4th or 5th oscillator into the expansion bay and create truly monster sounds. Additional filters allow for an expanded sonic palette. Add a sampler, sequencer, complex digital effects, or even a Maths. The integrated Eurorack expansion bay allows Taiga Keyboard to be customized to meet the unique needs of any artist."

via this auction

"This listing is for an EMS VCS3 The Putney Analog Modular Synthesizer w/ Original DK 1 Keyboard. Important to note about this synth, it does not have master tune knob like many synths made after. There are three parameters the user needs to juggle to property tune this synth. The first is the frequency knob of the oscillators, 2nd is "Input Channel 1" knob and finally, the "Frequency" knob on the DK1 keyboard. Even with everything dialed in nicely, sometimes the higher or lower notes on the keyboard will be slightly out of tune. Adding or removing patch pins will raise or lower the voltages for all three of these parameters and will throw the synth out of tune. This is a historic synthesizer without the "quality of life" upgrades of analog synthesizers made after."

3/3/24 Metasonix R-54, R-52, R-51 + Moog DFAM & Subharmonicon + Doepfer + Lexicon PCM 70


video upload by Cfpp0

"Similar patch and settings as in the other day-lit 3/3/24 video, but stopping and starting the DFAM at different steps to latch onto different pitches. Moog Subharmonicon is running through Metasonix R-52. Moog DFAM is running through Metasonix R-54 & R-51. Moog and Doepfer provide the modulation. Lexicon PCM 70 is set to Gated Plate reverb off the Mackie Onyx 1640."

"First contact with the V3. Definitely not as immediately compelling as my Erebus Reissue, but I haven’t even really patched anything yet.

This jam was mainly just to make sure it worked. Came used from Guitar Center which is always a little iffy (like when they sent an SP404 with the wrong power supply)"

Body Synths introduces the Metal Fetishist

"The Body Synths Metal Fetishist is a Percussion Synthesizer featuring a loopable randomness sequencer and a eurorack-compatible control-voltage interface.

The Metal Fetishist is a beat-making platform designed for rythm discovery and percussive sound design. The unapologetically digital sound engine includes a single oscillator, a white noise source, a resonant multi-mode filter and a digital distortion section featuring downsampling and overdrive."

Random sequencing with control
The Metal Fetishist features two randomness generators. At every trigger step of the sequence, the Random Step Mod section creates a new modulation value that can modify the Pitch, the amount of Noise or the filter Cut-Off value, while the modulation amount can be selected manually. At every sequence step, the Random Skips control decides if the current step will trigger or not, based on the skipping amount selected. The big STEPS knob won't do anything at its OFF position, leaving the synth in completely random mode! But as you turn it right it will lock the previously generated random step values into repeatable sequences of length 2, 4, 8, 10, 16 or 32. Have fun with it!"

Boolean Logic Latched - Patch 02


video upload by

Patch 01 here

"Using only a single clock input Boolean Logic Latched by Magnetic Freak is able to create a plethora of rhythmic patterns by combining divisions of that clock through logic gates. In this instance the patterns drive a kick, snare, 3 static pitch VCOs, and a bass boost. An entire arrangement of elements driven by complimentary patterns derived from a simple clock.

Clock: Buchla 246 Sequential Voltage Source
Kick: Bugbrand DRM2 Analogue Drum Voice
Snare: 1979 Dual Algorithmic Oscillator (DAO)
Synth Voices 1-3: Northern Light Modular 8-bit Synth Voice (h8B)
(with Buchla 291 VCF layered with Voice 1)
Bass: Bugbrand DRM2 amp modulation

Recorded as 2 tracks into Ableton Live. Compression, reverb, and panning added in post."
