Thanks! All sounds are recorded with the P-6. Some were recorded with the microphone on the P-6 and others were recorded through the line in from samples I had created previously.

Yes. Also helps stay off the computer.

I think that is referring to the second Taiga video I did. Only 1 version plus the keyboard version. Either way it's a great synth.

Thank you!

Yes, mainly using it to play loops and sounds. The sequencer seems pretty good but I'm more interested in exploring atmospheric textures.

@@trrstrl I need to try using like you - I have used the step seq but sometime atmosphere and soundscape are too rigid almost robotic

@@mizazu75 It's good that you have the option to do which ever you prefer. The P-6 is powerful for such a small instrument.

I haven't tried syncing the P-6 with the Taiga. This video was just experimenting to see how they sounded together.

@@trrstrl they sound fantastic

@@mizazu75 Thanks.

I put mine together before they were offering complete 55's. It's made up of 2 cases, each with it's own power. Also have 4 other setups with the same cases. So far no problems.

Thanks. Well, it is an outstanding clicking machine.

Absolutely! Thanks.

Thanks! Enjoying the sounds from this synth.

They are definitely plastic. I don't know what to compare them to except those square sliders that some modules have. Don't know if they will ever have problems but work fine currently. Metal toggle switches would be more reassuring of course. Kind of wish they would have gone industrial strength on everything and just charged more. Nothing jumped out as I played it suggesting any problems though, so maybe they will last forever.

Thank you! I appreciate it. These are inspiring instruments.

Thanks! Have to have a little Borg music once in a while.

Thank you! I'm sure you will enjoy it. I usually lose track of time as I get lost exploring.

Thank you!

Thank you!

@@trrstrl 🙂

Thank you! I used 1 stock sample and the rest my own. These were a mix of sounds recorded with the onboard mic and already recorded sounds that I sampled through the mix in connection. Next one I hope to also incorporate the granular part.

Thank you! Some of the samples were recorded at the lowest sample rate. Others were played at a lower pitch than originally sampled at. This extends time also since pitch and speed are connected. I keep forgetting about the granular engine. Hope to use it in an upcoming video.

Thanks!

Thank you. With 16 voices of polyphony and 4 more notes of granular, that is a fair amount to create with. Keeping track of everything becomes the challenge.

For me it works fine for that type of thing. Keep in mind that the sound quality isn't as good through the mic as through the mix in or usb in connections. Also you have limited sample time at the highest sample rate in stereo.

It sounds great. It will certainly work for my needs, mostly mixing and manipulating loops.

Yes, very versatile. I tend to head in an experimental direction.

Thank you! The Voltage Lab 2 is an amazing instrument. Having loads of fun exploring.

Thanks! Cool that you got one. I'm having a lot of fun exploring. Hope to get another video up soon.

Thanks. Pittsburgh Modular did an outstanding job.

I prefer the wavefolding of the Taiga. It has more options and with 3 oscillators, the potential for a bigger variety of textures. The labyrinth is a lot of fun and is capable of more than it appears initially. Both excellent synths and also very different. For wavefolding though, I like the Taiga more.

@@trrstrl So get both then. Thanks! :)

@@tony5D I have a "get everything" philosophy. But they do complement each other. Thanks for listening.

I had to check that out. Interesting.

Yes, it is a unique instrument. rewards exploration.

Thanks! Appreciate it.

Thanks! I hope to get more uploaded. The Slöer is unique and sounds great. Lots of possibilities besides guitar.

Exactly!

Thanks for checking out the video. Syntrx is a wild synth. Not sure how close it sounds to a VCS3, but it sounds great to me.

@@trrstrl I had a VCS Synthi E or something like that in a briefcase back in the 90s and it sounds way better than that. Much better dynamics and thick oscillators.

Thanks again! Yeah it's versatile enough to approach using it from different angles. It has a bit of a learning curve, but the sound is very nice. Although it draws from some of their other stuff it still seems like a unique synth. Glad I picked one up. Thanks again for watching.

Thanks! I have read that the Taiga is a combination of the West Pest and East Beast but haven't played either to know if that's true. OpSix is a great synth but it's a different type of sound. I was drawn to the Taiga by the Pittsburgh Modular demos that hint at it's ability to create natural sounds. Also now that I have one, I like that it can do shortwave radio type stuff. Probably not what most will use it for. It's great for textures and experimental things.

@@trrstrl Can it do birds like the voltage research lab? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJyVdWOJdrunj7c

@@millenniummastering I spent a couple of hours trying to get that sound and couldn't nail it down. You can get bird like sounds, but they seem a little different than in the video. It would be nice to know how they patched the VRL to get a good starting point. If I ever get it figured out I will post a video to compare with. Thanks.

@@trrstrl Those bird sounds are insane. I have not heard that from a synth before. Really sounds like the vocal chambers of parrots etc. I was looking at the oscillators on the VRL and it might be the extra CVable functions. Asymmetry and ring modulation etc. Also those 2 low pass gates are probably involved. Those birdcalls were the sounds that really grabbed me as I wanted to put them into my next Liife - Lost Islands album. I am thinking of picking up the Taiga tomorrow and getting a Erica Matrix mixer so I have lots of crossmodulation on everything. Madness no doubt. I have a Erica Syntrx so I can do ring mod on that and see if it helps. I should just borrow my mates VRL to see tho.

@@millenniummastering Yeah I kind of assumed those function generators on the VRL play a role in getting those bird sounds and also in creating self generating patches. Matrix mixer looks fun. Too bad the Syntrx mixer can't be used in the same way (I'm assuming).

Thanks! If I remember correctly, I'm using the Moog sequencers to affect modulation on the two Lifeform modules. Trying to keep the modulations in time with the Subharmonicon. No other modules or sequencers were used.

Thanks! Trying to find the time to upload more.

I didn't go anywhere. I've been findable. 👍

@@halmcgeevideo It's good to know you are still doing what you're doing.

...you mean this one?

Thanks! Jealous of your nice vintage stuff. Serge is one of my favorite sounds. Will have to stick with the Random Source eurorack (for now), but there is something special about that sound.
