{"product_id":"pittsburgh-modular-taiga-37-key-synthesizer","title":"Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Keyboard 37-Key Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePittsburgh Modular Taiga Keyboard\u003c\/strong\u003e is an evolution of the award-winning Taiga synthesizer. Taiga gave users a boundary-smashing suite of unique modern Pittsburgh Modular analog synthesizer innovations. Now in Taiga Keyboard, that same powerful suite of tools acts as a foundation in this expressive keyboard instrument. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eExploring the larger keyboard format, spreading controls out, and adding larger knobs makes sound sculpting while performing easier than ever. Pittsburgh Modular also added additional modulation sources, additional controls, a full-size 37 key premium aftertouch-enabled keybed, and a first-of-its-kind, modular expansion bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eTAIGA KEYBOARD OSCILLATORS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWaveforms generated by the three Taiga Keyboard oscillators stretch beyond the basic geometric shapes and sounds associated with analog synthesis. Taiga Keyboard waveforms pass through up to three proprietary, cascading waveshapers designed to precisely manipulate their symmetry and harmonic content. In addition, each oscillator includes a robust six-stage wave folder to add even more complexity and depth to the diverse sonic palate of Taiga Keyboard. Dedicated coarse and fine controls deliver maximum flexibility \u0026amp; control over the full range of each oscillator.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eTHE “PITTSBURGH FILTER”\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pittsburgh filter has defined the sound of Pittsburgh Modular from the moment it was introduced. A signature gummy and relaxed sound with no dead spots that has been tweaked to perfection. It offers a warm, smooth sweep through the full frequency range and a sweet resonance that does not roll off the low end. This generation of the Pittsburgh filter is specifically designed to ensure a remarkable interplay with Taiga Keyboard’s oscillators.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003ePITTSBURGH DYNAMICS CONTROLLER\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003ePittsburgh's new Dynamics technology imparts Taiga Keyboard with a uniquely organic depth and presence. By simultaneously managing both amplitude and harmonic content, the Pittsburgh Dynamics Controller expands beyond the one-dimensional VCA found in other synthesizers. It does this by utilizing new advancements from traditional low pass gates to add additional definition and dimension to the voice of Taiga Keyboard. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen used in low pass gate mode, sounds shed harmonic content and become warmer as they decrease in volume. This mimics how sound waves react to their environment. Because of this connection, the Taiga Keyboard sounds more natural or complex compared to other instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eANALOG ECHOES\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eEchos is a beautifully dark analog delay tuned to enhance the source material by repeating it over and over. Echos utilizes a pair of bucket brigade delay chips to produce a classic voltage-controllable analog delay effect that helps to place the sounds of Taiga Keyboard in a simulated environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eOPEN ARCHITECTURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTaiga Keyboard has an internally defined signal path. Patch cables are not necessary to begin exploring. Attach a midi keyboard and plug the output into a speaker or DAW and Taiga Keyboard is ready to go with a robust but familiar workflow. When your ideas grow beyond the pre-defined signal path, a 64 point patch bay opens up a fully modular instrument with access to an even deeper set of features and tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eMODULAR EXPANSION BAY\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eStaying true to their modular roots, they've added a 24hp powered eurorack Modular Expansion Bay that lets you personalize your Taiga Keyboard to your sound and performance needs. Simply remove the metal plate that covers the bay and add eurorack compatible modules. The modular bay helps you make Taiga Keyboard’s sound completely your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_6\"\u003eCOMPLETE SET OF MODULAR TOOLS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTaiga Keyboard includes a host of fully modular, analog, and digital synthesis tools to support and enhance its core functionality. Analog tools include a flexible dual mixer, a pair of plucky four-stage envelope generators, noise, and sample and hold. Digital tools cover external MIDI, arpeggiator, clock sync’d modulation tools, and a robust collection of random generators. The Taiga Keyboard toolset is deep enough for any type of sonic exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_7\"\u003eKEYBED AND ADDITIONAL MIDI CONTROL\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTaiga Keyboard as its name would suggest, has an integrated 37 key keyboard with aftertouch, as well as pitch bend and modwheel. The keyboard can be used as a separate USB \/ Din MIDI controller using the Local On\/Off modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eTaiga Keyboard’s key range can be easily changed using the dedicated octave up and down buttons that are located adjacent to the pitch bend and modwheel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pittsburgh Modular","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451042000999,"sku":"216312","price":1299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/pittsburgh-modular-taiga-37-key-synthesizer_216312_1_5a1a79f1-104c-4808-b243-739cb92cb483.jpg?v=1787095600","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/pittsburgh-modular-taiga-37-key-synthesizer","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
