Expander

The Pittsburgh Modular TAIGA is a complete, modern modular instrument that allows you to go beyond the limits of a traditional analog synthesizer. Its sound is based on three unique Pittsburgh innovations: a trio of powerful analog oscillators, the unmistakably smooth sound of the Pittsburgh Filter, and the warmth of the Dynamics Controller. This can be used to create not only sounds traditionally expected from an analog monosynth, but also entirely new sonic textures.

The waveforms generated by the three oscillators go beyond the basic geometric shapes and sounds associated with analog synthesis. They pass through up to three proprietary, cascading waveshapers to precisely manipulate their symmetry and harmonic content. In addition, each oscillator features a robust six-stage waveshaper that adds even more complexity and depth to the diverse sonic palette.

Its Dynamic Controller gives TAIGA a unique organic depth and presence. By managing amplitude and harmonic content simultaneously, the Pittsburgh Dynamics Controller goes beyond one-dimensional VCAs found in other synthesizers. It does this by using new advancements from traditional low-pass gates to add definition and dimension to the sound.

In low-pass gate mode, sounds lose harmonics and become warmer as they get quieter. This mimics how sound waves react to their environment. Because of this combination, Taiga sounds more natural and complex compared to other instruments.

Pittsburgh Modular TAIGA features an internally defined signal path. Patch cables are therefore not necessary to start exploring. Once a MIDI keyboard and audio output are connected, TAIGA is ready to play. Should ideas grow beyond the predefined signal path, a 60-point patch panel opens up a fully modular instrument with access to an even wider range of features and analog and digital synthesis tools that support and extend the core features. Analog tools include a flexible dual mixer, two crisp four-stage envelope generators, noise and sample & hold. Digital tools include external MIDI, arpeggiator, clock-synchronized modulation tools, and a collection of random generators.

Rounding out the overall sound is Echos: a beautiful, dark analog delay. Echos uses bucket brigade delay chips to create a classic, voltage-controllable analog delay effect.
