wow, these cases are pretty….pricey.. 🙂 that´s real euroracking!
That SV-1 is about 10 Eurorack modules rolled into one, I’d say it is on the money, if not a little bit pricey.
The KB-1 may also be on the money, or maybe a little pricey, but what do you compare that to? Who is making a pressure keyboard in Eurorack format?
But then they put these two units together and you got a basic mono-synth for $1,600-2,050 – that seems very pricey.
“Who is making a pressure keyboard in Eurorack format?”
Sputnik and Verbos spring to mind.

Indeed. They are all the rage right now.
Make noise – Rene and pressure points – there’s plenty, actually
And I believe the description said this is a two voice synth
Icredible synth ….with a horrible manual.and no patch examples of the kb1 in the case with the sv1. Not one.and in classic modular snobish fashion it only tells the reader what everything is but not how it is used in practice.maybe thats why modular was so un popular for so many years.SNOBS and insiders are always obticals in that field of sythesis.infomatoin for fist time users is only avalible on the internet now.and its about as helpful as a shovel to the face.maybey some day someone will REALLY come down off there high horse and try to be alot more welcoming to the MODULAR CURIOUS….
I hope that the mini jack midi port uses the same format as the one on the beat step pro for instance, then you could directly connect one port to the other without the need for the mini jack to 5pin connectors. If more eurorack modules implement this you could use multi’s to spread the love. Gear that can’t fit the 5 pin dins could also benefit and we’d see modules that can communicate much greater info between each other.
That’s what I think anyway.
What exactly makes this ‘the next generation of modular synthesis’? Dont get me wrong. It makes some nice sounds. But ‘the next generation of modular synthesis’? This term is being thrown around much to easy these days. “We have meda a new kickass synth” would be much better. At least honest.
I got in to modular as it was pretty cheap to put an interesting and unique mono synth together, this is very pricey compared to say Moog Mother + stuff like minilogue (4 voice poly for the price of a mono module) make this look way to expensive.
Have they ironed out the power issues with the PM cases? I remember a few years back there were all sorts of wonky power problems with their cases. Other than that issue, I would be interested in using their pre-configured kits as a starting point into the wonderful world of Eurocrack. 🙂
..dont get me wrong..im just talking about the cases, not the modules. Pm has one of the best i think, but cases are always pricey..no offend..
This is a monster and an answer to the music easle,that has held this position for far to long at that price point. What Pittsburgh and many other company’s are realizing is that we want something that feels like an instrument not a module that on its own has very little character without a pile of other modules.This thing has an aggressive or clean ability and it starts with the keyboard controller a synth and goes from there period. Pads are ok but a keyboard gives you note information just because of what it is …pads don’t. I bought one as soon as I saw it and it’s built like a tank. Can’t wait! Peace christo
