Knobcon 22: Buchla Music Easel - Nearly Ready!


video upload by sonicstate

"The new Buchla Easel has taken a while to come to fruition but its now in production and will be available to purchase real soon, says Marc Doty.

Extra functions have been added while keeping with the Buchla tradition. The case is now more suitcase shaped, but includes the Music Box Input Output module and made it more accessible. They added mixer, slew generator, voltage control, CV and gate and USB connections too.

We also looked at the Program Manager which allows for some recall of presets with a screen for preset names.

The 218 keyboard is also updated, better grounding, clean power for better control, a new strip with CV output for additional control, pulse output, reset button to set the capacitance.

All in all its a more powerful instrument, without a significant change in price.

Release date and price TBC. (around $4k)"

Pics of the inside below.

"A restored version 1 Moog Sonic Six from 1972

Fully functional and fully wierd. :-)

The electronic's were restored By Richard at EPR in 2014 ( see invoice copy ). All parts that were replaced were kept and will ship with the synth.

All the key bushings were replaced by me.

The origianal owner named her "Magus" which you can just see on the cover still.

The version 1 is even more scarce than others ( read the sound on sound article )

One of the rubber feet was replaced ( see photo ) and one of the internal board hold downs was replaced by wood ( perfectly functional .

It's time for new home now that she has turned 50.

There is no better way to describe what this is than this article soundonsound.com/reviews/moog-sonic-6 and the video's on youtube by Marc Doty reverb.com/news/video-the-origin-of-the-portable-synthesizer"

How to discover SYNTH GEMS


video upload by peter m mahr

"Making of SYNTH GEMS1. The new book of BJOOKS.

https://bjooks.com/blogs/blog/all-abo...

SYNTH GEMS 1
Written by Mike Metlay
Concept, and design: Kim Bjørn
Editing team: Chris Meyer, Marc Doty, Gordon Reid, Collin Russell and Kim Bjørn
Copy editing: Diana Smethurst
Image editing: Kim Bjørn
Additional image editing and illustration: Natascha Bondo Bjørn"



"Text from the back cover:

SYNTH GEMS 1 is your guide to an eclectic and amazing collection of synthesizers as art. Experience the history, technology, and sonic innovation of electronic music in a completely new way.

With their widely diverse designs and intentions, synthesizers offer a world of fascination. What thoughts and emotions guided their creators? What do they say about the era when they were created? How do their form and function define one another, and the music they make?

As much for serious synth enthusiasts as for newcomers to electronic music, SYNTH GEMS 1 is an enlightening look into this wonderful world of vintage synthesizers.

An art gallery of electronic aesthetics

SYNTH GEMS 1 takes you on a tour of over 60 remarkable keyboards — large and small, famed and rare, elegant, beautiful, and brutal… and ranging from classics that define entire genres to rare oddities that bring their own grace to the world.

Each synthesizer is presented in a series of finely detailed photographs, with a discussion of its origins and importance. From the dawn of commercial synthesis to the close of the Twentieth Century, the lives and times of these unique instruments are chronicled in exquisite pictures and thoughtful stories – mingling music, technology, commerce, and visual art.

Meet the synthesizer

Besides a brief introduction to the basic elements of synthesizer design, as well as a comprehensive Glossary, the book is rounded out by tours of the three museums that opened their collections to be photographed, and a selection of resources for further study: books, films, educational initiatives, online resources – even ways to play with these sounds at home.

Known classics and significant rarities

Explore the designs and read the stories behind instruments from famous brands such as ARP, Casio, Clavia, Korg, Moog, Oberheim, Roland, Sequential, and Yamaha – as well as vintage gems from Crumar, Electronic Dream Plant, Elgam, E-mu, Ensoniq, Fairlight, Kawai, Gleeman, Lord Synthesisers, Steiner-Parker, Technics, Waldorf, and more.

The GEMS Series from Bjooks celebrate the inner and outer aesthetics of electronic musical instruments:

Detailed and beautiful color photographs, taken specifically for this series
Insightful discussion of the technical details – and the historical significance – of each instrument
Clear and inviting introductions to the concepts that guide these designs"

BUCHLA @ Moogfest 2019 - Explorations by Bill T Miller of Orgy Of Noise


Published on May 22, 2019 Bill T Miller

"- Marc Doty of Buchla USA at Moogfest 2019 was incredibly cool and let me plug in my digital recorder and Sheri shot a bit of iPhone video on last day of Moog Marketplace. Marc had the Buchla 200e all patched up so with a lot of heart and a bit of grey matter I explored Doty's presets and tweaked and prodded about with a naive quest seeking further dosed out trip into ORGY OF NOISE atonal abstract weirdo sonic realm.

- Touching the Buchla at Moogfest brought back memories of seeing and meeting Don Buchla & Nannick Buchla @ Wellesley College Boston back in 2014. - See photos: http://billtmiller.com/buchla

Automatic Gainsay Synth Demonstration Music


Published on Jul 3, 2019 AutomaticGainsay

"Most of the intro and outro themes used in Automatic Gainsay synthesizer demonstrations are original compositions and performances by Marc Doty where the synth being featured in the demonstration is used to provide all of the elements of the theme.

These themes are usually largely improvised multitrack recordings atop drums provided by live performances, sequenced synthesizer drum sources, or manipulated and edited GarageBand loops.

Here are the Automatic Gainsay synthesizer demonstration themes from 2006 through 2011. Most of these themes focus on a single synthesizer used as the tonal source for the entire theme. The drums are often live performances by Marc Doty or Pat Simmons. Electric guitar is usually provided by Klayton Giese.

Our pal Marc Doty has been with Buchla for a little while now so we (and he) figured it was time to take a look at some patching. So here you go...."

Buchla - Electronic Music as Performance Art | Synthplex 2019

"Marc Doty, renowned historian of electronic music, delivers a fascinating presentation on the history of Don Buchla, including the context of experimental music in which he developed his amazing ideas. This lecture is an absolute must watch for any serious devotee of the craft of electronic music. Watching Marc tear down the notion of East Coast vs. West Coast synthesis is worth the price of admission on its own."
