A Note About the Foundation...

In an effort to make a great system better, I have decided to hold back the release of the Foundation 60 days.  I promise the time will be well spent.

After spending countless hours with our demo units we decided they could be better.  The sound will stay the same; we nailed that the first time.  Instead, we decided to focus on two modules that do not normally get a lot of attention, the Midi to CV converter and Multiples.  Although they are simple utility modules, expanding their capabilities has solidified the Foundation as a synthesizer to be reckoned with.

The original monophonic midi module is being replaced with a 10 octave multimode midi module (Midi2) capable of monophonic, duophonic, or dual monophonic modes.  The Foundation is essentially 2 monophonic voices and having a Midi to CV module that can squeeze the most flexibility out of those two voices makes a big difference. With the Midi2, the Foundation can be patched up as a dual oscillator monophonic monster for leads and basses or as a single oscillator duophonic synth for creamy pads.  Using the dual monophonic mode, the Foundation can be patched up as 2 independent monophonic synths.  A bass and lead at the same time or any other combination of two sounds independently controlled via Midi for multitimbral analog goodness.

The 2 Multiple modules are being replaced with the M3.  The M3 is an evolved version of the multiple.  It still functions as a splitter for audio and cv signals but also functions as a mixer and buffer.  The M3 opens the door to extremely complex modulation and signal routing.  It is the small module that makes a big difference.

Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in the Foundation and Pittsburgh Modular.  Because of all the incredible support given to us by musicians around the world, we are able to focus on making our best better.

I apologize again for the delay but when the Foundation ships, the results will speak for themselves.

Sincerely,
