> Pittsburgh Modular describe their new semi-modular paraphonic analogue synth as a “complete, modern, modular instrument that allows us to explore beyond the boundaries of a traditional analogue synthesiser”. Taiga is a desktop synth that can function standalone in a wooden enclosure, or as part of a Eurorack setup as a 60hp module. As it’s semi-modular, the instrument can be played out-of-thebox, 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.
