Taiga Keyboard

Taiga Keyboard is an evolution of the award-winning Taiga synthesizer. Taiga gave users a boundary-smashing suite of unique modern Pittsburgh Modular analog synthesizer innovations. Now in Taiga Keyboard, that same powerful suite of tools acts as a foundation in this expressive keyboard instrument.

Exploring the larger keyboard format, spreading controls out, and adding larger knobs makes sound sculpting while performing easier than ever. We’ve also added additional modulation sources, additional controls, a full-size 37 key premium aftertouch-enabled keybed, and a first-of-its-kind, modular expansion bay.

Taiga Keyboard features:

● Paraphonic synthesizer with unique additive elements

● 37 note aftertouch equipped keybed with full-sized keys

● Fully patchable - use Taiga Keyboard’s components as separate modules with external devices or reroute its internal patching.

● 24hp powered Eurorack Modular Expansion Bay

● 64 point patch bay for rerouting internal signal flow and integrating external sound and modulation sources

● Controllable via MIDI, CV, and integrated pseudo random sequencing mode

● Clock-synced arpeggiator

● 3x Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizer developed 100% analog oscillators, each with dedicated coarse and fine controls

● Oscillator waveforms - sine, triangle, and saw - Waveforms can be combined

● 3x Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizer 6 stage wave folder/shaper circuit - folds inputted waves back onto themselves to increase harmonic content

● Oscillators include frequency modulation (FM)

● Noise generator - pitched somewhere between pure white and pink noise. Perfect for percussion or adding a bit of edge to a sound.

● Variable state, multi-mode “Pittsburgh No-Dead-Spots” filter (lowpass, bandpass, highpass, modes can be combined)

● Sample & Hold circuit

● 2x Analog ADSR / envelope generators

● Pittsburgh dynamics section - an alternative to an envelope generator and a VCA, the dynamics controller is a Pittsburgh Modular invention that adds a dimension of control over a vactrol-less lowpass gate circuit, adding release time. (read more on this in the user guide)

● 2x Dual range analog LFOs with square and triangle wave outputs.

● LFO Range High: 2 Hz to 500 Hz Low: 41 seconds to 5 Hz

● Dual Channel Mixer - 2 2-channel mixer and a 3-channel mixer joined together, capable of mixing both audio or control voltages.

● Preamp that uses a high gain, soft clipping overdrive limiter circuit to increase the level of audio signals. The preamp can be used to cleanly increase the level of external audio to internal signal levels, or it can be used as an overdrive / limiter for internal signals.

● Digital multi-mod tool - modulation control via CV, random generator, and extra LFO and envelope generator

● Internal clock with tap tempo and can be clocked via an external source.

● Built-in clock divider

● Echos - 100% analog bucket brigade delay

● Included in the box - 1x Taiga Keyboard, 1x Taiga Keyboard wall-wart power supply, 10x Amazing Nazca Noodles Patch Cables
