Richard Nicol cofounded Pittsburgh Modular with fellow aural engineer Michael Johnsen back in 2012, sharing a vision that the so-called golden age of analog synthesis was only the beginning of a sonic odyssey yet to be fulfilled. In the ensuing 10-plus years, Richard and his team have embarked on a quest to push the outer boundaries of analog sound, unconvinced that the best it had to offer came and went in the 1970s. Instruments like the Taiga, and the East Beast and West Pest of sister operation Cre8audio, demonstrate Richard’s ethos of innovation, and the Voltage Lab 2 distills over a decade of unwavering commitment into a single multidimensional synth. With over 100 patch points, unfathomable versatility, and a slew of never-before-heard wave-crafting technologies, it is truly a bona fide laboratory. Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater’s synth scholar, hosts Pittsburgh Modular’s archon of analog, Richard Nicol, for a comprehensive deep dive into this standalone analog laboratory to excavate sonic possibilities the world has never heard.
