  • Page 2: Patch Examples

    1 Patch Examples 1.1 Patch Book Overview: This Patch Book is a guide exploring the functionality of Taiga. It is not meant to be a collection of presets. The examples are designed to showcase the functionality of each module within the instrument using the simplest patch possible. This ensures that the patches are less confusing and keeps the focus of the patch on the highlighted function.
  • Page 3 The [Freq CV 2 Knob] is an attenuverter meaning it is off in the 12 o’clock position. Turning to the left adds negative modulation and turning to the right adds positive modulation. This can often be the cause of Taiga not making sound. The filter output provides a constant tone in the default patch.
  • Page 4 3.1 Oscillator MIDI Control and Free Running Mode The pitch of Taiga Oscillators is controlled using 2 modes. Midi and free running. Enable or disable the MIDI Mode mode by pressing and holding the [Edit Button] then pressing the [Seed Button].
  • Page 5 3.2 Paraphonic Taiga Setup Taiga to play 2 notes simultaneously while maintaining a monophonic filter and monophonic Dynamics signal path. This is not a perfect solution or a replacement for true polyphony. Many hardware compromises limit the functionality but if you want to play 2 notes at the same time, Paraphonic Mode can do that.

  • Page 8 4.1 Oscillator Overview The Taiga oscillators have a wide range of sonic possibilities but there are a few rules to controlling them. The [Shape Knob] and [Shape CV Knob] work together to determine the shape of the waveform.
  • Page 9 Repeat this patch with the other 2 oscillators and Taiga turns into an unstable, rumbling beast. The [FM Input Jack] is linear. Exponential FM is available using the [Pitch Input Jack].

  • Page 11 2 can be used as a free running modulation source. The Taiga mixer is actually 2 mixers. The sum of channels 1 and 2 is internally routed to the mix output of channels 3, 4, and the preamp. Patching the [Mixer 1 + 2 Output Jack] removes it from the [Mixer Mix Output Jack].

  • Page 13 5.3 Feedback Mixer The Preamp can be used to amplify external signals, overdrive internal signals, and to create feedback loops within Taiga. Patch [Echos Output Jack] into the [Preamp Input Jack]. Experiment with the delay time and regeneration of the delay along with the gain of the preamp.
