You heard it hear first ... Pittsburgh Modular today announces a new unit in their Lifeforms Series – a Percussion Sequencer Eurorack Drum Machine! For those of you that are big fans of Pittsburgh Modular (as I am) this new module plugs a big hole in their incredible line of Boutique Eurorack synths. While we’ve yet to get our hands on one, if the new Lifeforms module is anything like the ones already released in the series, it’s going to be an incredible addition to any Eurorack system.

Pittsburgh Modular's Percussion Sequencer Drum Machine.

According to Pittsburgh Modular:

“The Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms Percussion Sequencer is a seriously featured, 4 channel eurorack beat programmer with a classic drum machine style interface. The familiar interface allows for quick mastery of all the features leaving the focus on the music. Seamlessly move around the module tweaking patterns and effects without ever stopping the beat. Easily create new patterns using the live performance or step recording modes, then add one of the powerful pattern effects to each channel to take the sequence to a new level. Designed to integrate into any size eurorack system, simply patch 4 audio signals through the integrated high quality VCAs to create a set of unique percussion voices. Eurorack drum programming has come to life.”

Module features include:

• 32 Step, 4 Channel Sequencer
• 32 Sequence Non-Volatile Memory
• 6 Adjustable Pattern Effects (Shift, Glitch, Density, Morph, Swing, Add/Drop)
• 4 Percussion Tuned Analog Envelopes
• 4 High Quality Analog VCAs
• Seamlessly Switch Between Play and Record Modes
• Live Performance and Step Recording Modes

With a suggested retail price of $349 USD, this new module hits at a price point that should make it a staple of any Eurorack setup. Stay tuned - Ask.Audio will be reviewing this unit as soon as we can get our hands on it!
