Buchla 223e Merge
scrolling through a few newly created patches and occasionally interacting via the 222e-223e. this is the third, and for now, final piece in a set of three explorations.

Buchla 223e Fades
Todd Barton is back with a new inspiring Buchla video – after the scoll it is time for the fade
Slow moving volume and filter fades via touch activated 222e-223e kinesthetic input port. For a better audio file:

Here’s what the author has to say about it:
This configuration of a Buchla 200e 12-space system with 222-223e Multidimensional Kinesthetic Input Port was suggested to me by Giorgio Sancrsitoforo last month. Thanks Giorgio–a brilliant design. Here is a little (low rez) video of scrolling through 9 freshly-made patches. Enjoy!

Sunday Buchla etudeEH
Just after ubnoxing the EHX 2880 I’ve made a quick patch on the Buchla and started this improvisation.
Sorry it is a bit long, time passes very fast when doing such things, but well.. it’s nice to hear the soundscape going more and more chaotic and rich as minutes passes by.
In the EHX 2880 I’ve definitely found the perfect companion for my Buchla, hurray!
Buchla 223e Demo
Quick demo using the 223e arpeggiator to drive the 250e (strobe mode). I have sixteen keys assigned in the arpeggiator. One per stage in the 250e. I am turning on and off the first two stages using the first two keys. The 223e is running in falling mode. It can also run in rising mode, triangle (pendulum), random, or “spiral.” The 250e is not required, but it is a convenient way of setting the pitches.

For all you Buchla fans out there
Here are two videos of the Buchla in action and a lot of other goodies as well of course

More on the Buchla:
The original Buchla Music Box was the brainchild of Don Buchla and came from a commission by composers Ramon Sender and Morton Subotnick. First built in 1963, this synthesizer was composed of several “modules” that generated or modified a music event. Each box served a specific function: oscillator, filter, sample and hold, etc. This would have an effect on the pitch, timbre, amplitude and spacial location of the sound. The idea was to allow musicians and composers to create sounds suited to their own specifications. Previously, one had to utilize either discrete audio generators such as test oscillators or via musique concrète, recorded sounds from natural sources. Although it was a fresh and exciting idea and an excellent way to get new sounds, this was very time-consuming and arduous. The Buchla Box allowed musicians to bend and manipulate sound all in one device. This would lead to the many kinds of electronic instruments available today.
Buchla 100
The Buchla 100 series Modular Electronic Music System was commissioned specifically by Subotnick in 1963 for use on his first major electronic work Silver Apples Of The Moon. He gave Don Buchla ideas and specifications for what the instrument should do. Along with Robert Moog’s Moog synthesizer, it would go on the revolutionize the way music and sound is made.
Buchla 200e
The Buchla 200 series Electric Music Box replaced the previous model in 1970 and represented a significant advance in technology. Almost every parameter can be controlled from an external control voltage.
In the mid 1970s, Don Buchla began experimenting with digital designs and computer controlled systems. The results were the 500 series and the 300 series, both of which paired the new technology with existing 200 series modules to create hybrid analog/digital systems. The Touché was also the result of this research.
Instantaneous Melodic Improvisation
Well the author of this calls it “Thank You and Good Night”
266e QRV followed by Quantized S/H Pulse-Ballons = Instantaneous Melodic Improvisation.
Buchlazz are assisted by RMX Drums and Percs, M5 Strings and French Horns, and a WaveDrum.

Prototype Buchla format Zeroscillators in action
This video shows one of several prototype Buchla format Zeroscillators working
along beautifully with the other modules in a 200e system.
The Buchla 200e analog/digital hybrid system is an incredible achievement
that can now be complimented with the addition of Cyndustries award winning
liquid smooth pure analog Zeroscillators, the ~only~ oscillators with the musicality
and complex modulation opportunities of through-zero technology.
Limited Buchla format editions are special order only, please contact Cynthia directly.
Buchla 200e & Elektron Mecha
Really nice video featuring sounds from the Buchla and Mecha, enjoy
A change from my usual shakey camera, stare at the modules videos. Some old CG things I made a while back mixed in with some goofing off in After Effects.
