Summing up the analog modular synth gathering at National Museum of Science and Technology Stockholm
Some 30 modular systems was on display last weekend at the museum of science and technology in Stockholm. The gathering was co-hosted in the space exhibition giving it a nice atmosphere but also giving a quite noise level as the general public was including many kids passing on their way to the toy tech department. On the other hand the Lego builders competition would leave plenty of time for parents strolling around the lovely modulars as their kids where building Lego.

The EMS of Stockholm was kind to bring some of their classic Buchlas. Here shown to the public for the first time.

A quite large system from the now defunct Plan B.
Quirky sounds from the Lemur and Buchla
First tests hooking up Lemur to 225e and controlling various Buchla modules using CV

Recording Modulars with Dave Jones
Truly weird sounding sounds coming out of the Buchla, Dave offers you free download of samples, if you have any clue of what to use them for

Last night i make my way out to Arlington, Ma to work on a new sample pack with Dave Jones, the idea was to record modulars and then process the recorded sounds.
Waterphone and the Buchla
This is a very rough experiment processing a Richard Water’s waterphone through a Buchla 200e (and also triggering sound in it), some MoogerFoogers (Ring & Murf) and a Jomox T-Resonator.
Triggered and controlled by the mighty 266e
Giorgio Sancristoforo has shared this video of his mini Buchla 200e system
A study for a self composing patch with my mini Buchla 200e system.
No MIDI or sequencers or overdubs were used. Everything was triggered and controlled by the mighty 266e source of uncertainty module in realtime.
The patch can play for infinite time an incredible number of permutations.
Zunk plays a Moog Etherwave Theremin
Richard Lainhart and Thomas Zunk perform live at Avantgarde Festival Schiphorst 2010.
In this free improvisation, Zunk plays a Moog Etherwave Theremin with a variety of processing pedals, and Lainhart plays a Buchla 200e analog modular synthesizer controlled by a Haken Continuum three-dimensional keyboard controller.
The musical sculptures seen in the background are the creations of Ferdinand Försch.
Recorded July 4, 2010, in Schiphorst, Germany.
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.
System #5

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:
System #7
