PITTSBURGH
MODULAR FOUNDATION
$1695
The
Foundation is a fully modular,
eurorack, analog synthesizer. A
patchable system styled after the
great monosynths of the past with no
hardwired signal path or fixed voice
architecture to restrict
creativity. Driven by two wide
range analog oscillators the
Foundation produces a huge, warm sound
that can't be matched by digital or
VST synths. All of the elements
of a classic voltage controlled
synthesizer are available as an open,
patchable, modern synth.
The Foundation is a "complete voice".
It contains all the modules needed to
produce a wide variety of complex
sounds such as monster analog bass,
cutting leads, evolving pads, and
short percussive hits. All of
which can be controlled directly using
the Foundations' 42 knobs and switches
then played with any standard Midi
controller. The Midi module
included in the Foundation allows for
monophonic / duophonic / and dual
monophonic patching for maximum
flexability. The Foundation is also
fully compatable with Expert Sleepers
Silent Way software plug-ins¹.
An unpatched Foundation offers a clean
slate for sonic exploration and sound
design. The open format of a
modular synthesizer allows for greater
control and a deeper understanding of
synthesis. The Foundation is
comprised of a heavy duty eurorack
case and individual eurorack modules
designed to work together and as part
of a larger modular system.
Modules within the Foundation can be
rearranged easily or replaced as a
system grows or individual needs
change.

ELEKTRON
OCTATRACK
SALE PRICE
- $1240
The Octatrack is an elegant sampler.
Recording of sounds is a breeze thanks
to the intuitive user interface, but
the fun really starts once the samples
are inside the machine. Loops are now
completely elastic. They will always
stay in sync no matter if they are
pitch shifted or if the tempo of the
sequencer is changed. Single sounds
can be molded into any shape or form.
The static nature of samples is
finally a thing of the past.

UW
SALE PRICE
- $1490
The Machinedrum SPS-1UW+ MKII, where
UW is short for User Wave, is a drum
machine equipped with numerous drum
synthesis methods as well as a
sampling engine. But this is not your
ordinary beat box, it's something far
better. Both synthetic and sample
based sounds can be manipulated to
great extents. In a matter of seconds
a vocal sample can be transformed in
to a kick drum. Change a few
parameters and a hand clap is suddenly
a hi hat. Your imagination is the only
limit.
