Taiga by Pittsburgh Modular: Guide, Review, and Sound Examples

[@PspiralifeTutorials]

Great tutorial! That randomized patch is super psychedelic. Nice work. I own the Voltage Lab 2 which I have come to love so much that I am reconsidering the Tiaga as an addition to fill in some of the missing pieces within the VL2 such as simple ADSR envelopes, Hi pass/Bandpass Filters, and sync jack inputs. I love how large the filter knob is and how much space is around that knob to get performative with it The shape knobs are also nice in that respect. A well throughout layout by Pittsburgh - much better than many other semi modular synths and modules. I would personally hesitate to include the phrase "subtractive synth" to describe this synth due to the fact that at least 50% of its features are not typical subtractive/east coast features. Three wavefolders and a lowpass gate, combined with the subtractive filter makes it a well rounded synth. It is a shame that it doesn't have cv over envelopes or the lfo rate and that the envelope times are hard to have fine control over. Pretty important stuff. I do find that the course tune on the voltage Lab 2 is a bit too sensitive. I wish that all modern oscillators had a lock-in-place button like the frap tools brenso to avoid accidentally knocking it out of tune.

Analog lives on! lol Guitar gear is on the verge of digital dominance even with the popularity and pricing of valve gear constantly growing. *It's going to be an interesting journey to see that same battle wage with synthesis.*
