Can I ask, what was the drone synth behind the first video in this thread? : )
I suppose it was the taiga.

This is just the first of many.
Plus PM is at Superbooth toward the end of May, so we’ll be hearing more then too.
Looking forward to the announcements from Cre8audio as well.

You know, I was really sceptical at the start of the video when he talked about how it was doing something never before done in analogue and possibly digital also. My hyperbole antenna were starting to twitch… however, I shouldn’t have doubted ol’ Rich. The ‘p.shift’ in the square wave and the binary wave shape are excellent sounding and really do give it an interesting character of it’s own.
Given, that this is shipping 6-ish weeks after they estimated in the 2024 preview video I’m presuming that it might be the end of March before we see the ‘Cool New Synth’ they alluded to. I’ll be interested to see what it is… might even be enough for me to call off the search for a decently priced 2nd hand Microvolt.

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.

Seems cool, 24hp to play with for you fx or dream bonus feature.
Curious how well it does for them.

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.
