The Buchla evolution :-)
The first system contains 8 panel units and sufficient blank panels to fill the voids:
System #1

The Addition of a Router, a Source of Uncertainty and an Arbitrary Function Generator bring us to the second suggested system:
System #2

![]() |
Here’s a fully loaded 18 panel unit system that features the 222e (its finally shipping):
System #3

![]() |
Here’s a system with 24 panel units, all crammed into our new 201e-24 cabinet. This is not a system to be packing around from gig to gig, but it’s certainly great for the studio.
System #4

But if you must pack a big one around, we’d suggest system #5, which substitutes a 206e mixer / preset manager for the 297 Infinite phase shifter and two smaller cabinets for the monstrous 201e – 24.

Next, we present a larger system – one 12 panel units and one 18 panel units:
System #6

And finally, the gourmet system, with all but the kitchen sink squeezed into two 18 panel unit cabinets:

Scuba diving – another passion of mine
Sorry guys no synth news today, but I still wanted to share another passion of mine; scuba diving 
Around 3,45 into the video you will find me jumping into the ocean in a yellow diving suit. I am diving the scandinavian waters north of Gothenburg, in this shoot.
And just to be clear; I did not make the music – 9 minutes of horrible elevator music, yikes
