Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms System 301 - Expandable Eurorack Modular Performance System

The Lifeforms System 301 from Pittsburgh Modular is a stand-alone, semi-modular synthesizer which offers a hardwired signal path, allowing for sound generation without the need for a single patch cable, as well as a touch-capacitive keyboard with integrated step sequencer and arpeggiator. The heart of the system is comprised of the Lifeforms SV-1 synthesizer voice module, a complete synthesizer voice featuring several components including a powerful MIDI-to-CV converter, two complex waveform oscillators, a voltage-controlled multi-mode filter, an LFO, an ADSR envelope generator, glide circuit for portamento effects, a waveform mixer, a splitter, a linear voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA), and a set of utility tools such as two sub-oscillator outputs, a noise circuit, and a sample-and-hold circuit. The SV-1 offers a complete set of patch points able to override the internal audio and CV signal paths and each component can be split apart and used like stand-alone modules.
