Pittsburgh Modular has introduced two new modules:

Lifeforms Dynamic Impulse Filter; and

and Lifeforms Distro.

The Dynamic Impulse Filter utilizes a new, all-analog design to replicate the impact transients and vibrance of a percussion hit. The result is a versatile filter module that sounds natural and energetic.

PM says that the “Dynamic Impulse Filter evolves the lowpass gate into the present by retaining the sonic characteristics we love about vactrols while solving all the problems that come with it.”

The design of the Dynamic Impulse Filter replaces the vactrol with a modern analog circuit created to replicate and expand on the signature sound of the vactrol.

The response time of the Dynamic Impulse Filter is not static like a vactrol; instead it is tunable allowing the response of the module to adapt to any musical context.

Price & Availability

MSRP $229. The Lifeforms Dynamic Impulse Filter module will be available December 16, priced at $229.

The Lifeforms Distro is an active audio and CV interchange with three independent sections for splitting and mixing. The outputs of each section are individually buffered and tuned to offer robust signal separation and unity gain pass-through.

Price and Availability

The Lifeforms Distro module will be available December 16, for US $99.
