Pittsburgh Modular have revealed a new semi-modular paraphonic analog synth that they're describing as a “complete, modern, modular instrument that allows us to explore beyond the boundaries of a traditional analog synthesizer.”
Taiga is a desktop synth that can function standalone in a wooden enclosure, or as part of a broader Eurorack setup as a 60hp module. As it's semi-modular, the instrument can be played out-of-the-box, without any patching, using a conventional subtractive signal flow. Alternatively, each of the synth's elements can be used independently and patched into an existing modular rig using the 60-point patchbay.
The synth's architecture begins with three analogue oscillators, identical other than for the range of their tuning knobs. These offer four core waveforms, sine, triangle, saw and square, and the user can utilize
