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 the unique Dynamics Controller. These enable you to not only create sounds that would be traditionally expected from an analog synthesizer, but also to explore new sonic textures and performance possibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaiga oscillators\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eWaveforms generated by the three Taiga oscillators stretch beyond the basic geometric shapes and sounds associated with analog synthesis. Taiga 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe “Pittsburgh Filter”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\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’s oscillators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePittsburgh Dynamics Controller\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003ePittsburgh's new Dynamics technology imparts Taiga 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\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 sounds more natural or complex compared to other instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog Echoes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eEchos is a beautifully dark analog delay tuned to enhance the source material by repeating it over and over. Echos utilize a pair of bucket brigade delay chips to produce a classic voltage-controllable analog delay effect that helps to place the sounds of Taiga in a simulated environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eTaiga 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 is ready to go with a robust but familiar workflow. When your ideas grow beyond the pre-defined signal path, a 60 point patch bay opens up a fully modular instrument with access to an even deeper set of features and tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete Set of Modular Tools\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003eTaiga 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 toolset is deep enough for any type of sonic exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaiga features and other info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eParaphonic synthesizer with unique additive elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eFully patchable - use Taiga’s components as separate modules with external devices or reroute its internal patching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eControllable via MIDI, CV, and integrated pseudo random sequencing mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eClock-synced arpeggiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e3x Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizer developed 100% analog oscillators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eOscillator waveforms - sine, triangle, and saw - Waveforms can be combined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e3x Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizer 6 stage wave folder\/shaper circuit - folds inputted waves back onto themselves to increase harmonic content\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eOscillators include frequency modulation (FM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eNoise generator - pitched somewhere between pure white and pink noise.
