Introducing the Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Semi-modular Paraphonic Synthesizer, an advanced instrument that transcends the boundaries of traditional analog synthesis. Engineered by Pittsburgh Modular, renowned for their innovative analog creations, Taiga is a testament to the future of analog synthesis.

This semi-modular, Eurorack-compatible synthesizer is a musical beast, offering an array of harmonically rich, customizable sonics that go beyond the expected realm of analog synthesis. Taiga is built around three unique analog oscillators, each equipped with multi-stage wavefolders, providing a wide variety of waveforms from sine, triangle, to saw and beyond. These oscillators, combined with a six-stage wavefolder circuit, enable the creation of complex, rich harmonics.

This synthesizer also features the acclaimed "No Dead Spots" multi-mode filter, a proprietary Pittsburgh invention, capable of individual or simultaneous lowpass, bandpass, and highpass configurations. The filter maintains a rich sonic character across the frequency spectrum, giving your music an unmatched depth and presence.

To complement its robust sound engine, Taiga provides extensive control options. It can be fully controlled via MIDI or CV, which includes a MIDI-to-CV converter, offering seamless integration into almost any setup. An additional layer of control is offered through the onboard digital multi-mod tool, which brings in deep modulation control, a random generator, and an extra LFO and envelope generator.
