A mini-teaser directly from Pittsburgh Modular social accounts!
(Sorry I can’t embed)
Straight from a comment on PM’s YT channel: the announcement Is Monday with a very weird teaser on Sunday!
maybe this time the front panel font will be papyrus
They’re talking/joking about a Taiga Keys!!
More news tomorrow.
Maybe something in collaboration with Crea8audio inspired by the NiftyKeys?
That’s cool! I think a Taiga Keys would pretty fun.
The easy way for them to do that is to build a Cre8Audio NiftyKEYZ with a "Taiga or two in the tank". I know that doing bundles with the KEYZ is something Cre8Audio has been interested in.
A little discount in price and perhaps something special in the build maybe.
The NiftyKEYZ ( thread ) has a lot of nice features to bring to such a system.
This looks pretty slick. I like that they moved the patch points to the top, out of way of the other controls, and the 24hp expansion slot is cool too for fx and whatnot.
So it’s not the NiftyKEYZ, which is 49 keys, and they reworked the Taiga module, expanding it slightly, and putting the patch interface at the top where it should have been before, imo.
Like this.
From the website:
Taiga Keyboard’s larger format provides the room for a few unique features. Most obvious is a full size 37 key premium keybed with velocity and aftertouch. The dedicated pitch and modulation wheels offer instant access to a unique set of modulation tools including manual control, clock sync’d LFO, envelope, and random source. 1/4 inch left and right output jacks, and full sized MIDI in and MIDI out DIN jacks are available on the rear of the instrument. The larger format also allows Taiga Keyboard to utilize larger, more spread out knobs and a second analog LFO.
(left & right outputs, stereo paraphony/duophonic? cool Indeed)
Suggested price, 1299$.
Oh they weren’t joking.
No new synth. Not a VRL2.
Is disappoint.
I think that a Taiga Keys is a good idea: both for them and the constumers.
Michael stated many times that a new product would be annunced before the VL2 (That Is espected in a couple of months IIRC his last interview)
We have to be patient
Also available immediately (1359 €)
Taiga Keyboard Manual. As they promised.
Vrl 2 is to be announced at suberbooth iirc. Taiga keys seems very nice, especially with the 24 hp eurorack expansion.
So Snakes may be the next new thing to come out, other than perhaps the new Cre8Audio products.
Does anyone know what Snakes will be ? Sounds like it has been in development for a while. It has a bigger software part, but how that fits in – can’t tell.
Also good idea @Humanprogram to shunt off the Taiga Keys discussion to the Taiga thread.
That would be nice. Perhaps that is the “especially good” thing Richard is talking about. Both Cre8Audio, and Pittsburgh Modular, will be at Superbooth ( thread ) this year.
Anyone looking for a Voltage Lab, Patchwerks has a used one for $1300.
