You've dialed in the perfect pitch. Lock it - and it stays, no matter what. Now the pitch knob on your oscillator is free. Detune for width. Sweep for effect. Come back to perfect tuning with a flick of the toggle.
Move the fader. Pitchkeeper records that movement - up to 5 minutes - and plays it back as looping CV. Plug it into a filter cutoff, a VCA, a panning module. Keep shaping it by modulating offset and attenuation via fader and pot. Your one-time gesture is now a repeating, evolving part of your patch.
Tuning a V/Oct oscillator? Use ±5V. Sending offset to a VCA? Switch to 0–10V. One button cycles through four ranges: ±10V, ±5V, 0–10V, 0–5V. Full fader throw on each range.
"I was always a bit afraid of the pitch knob. I didn't want to bump it by accident, or reach for the wrong parameter and knock the oscillator out of tune. So many times I'd be completely in the zone, and then - just like that - I'd nudge the pitch and snap right out of it."
That changed at the Dutch Modular Fest in Utrecht. Omri saw a performer running a single tuned voice with the pitch control turned all the way down, offsetting the pitch back up using a sequencer. A clear reference point - if anything drifted, she knew exactly where to return.
"That was a lightbulb moment. I wanted a way to stop worrying about tuning altogether. To feel confident using the pitch control, not avoid it - to turn it into something expressive and performative."
Omri brought the idea to Linus at Modulove. Together we shaped the concept, refined details and iterated prototypes. The result: a module born from a real patching need - engineered by Fabian, designed by Sasha.
We're a small shop in Hamburg and we build in batches rather thanholding big stock. That means PITCHKEEPER alternates between twostates: units in stock, shipping in a few days — or open pre-orderwith a date on it.

You'll always have a way to order one.
When you pre-order, the date you see above is the date we'reworking to.
Parts for the next batch are already ordered beforepre-orders open, so the wait is assembly, calibration, quality control and shipping.
