Buchla - Patch 37


Buchla - Patch 37 from batchas on Vimeo.

"The kind of trumpet sound (incl. staccato) comes from the 262v sent to the 288v sequenced by the 243v.
The 288v is sent directly to the mixer and also sent to a Dual 194 clone filter module.
The rest comes from the 258v sent to a 291c filter and sent on another track to a sequenced 291e."

via the seller: "I believe in being upfront about the condition of gear so..... Let's start with the bad stuff: This Arp 2600 has several issues. Do not consider this as new showroom condition. The left speaker does not work. The tolex covering the case was removed and the wood case has been painted black The front of the wood case was modified to hold a (vintage) Mu-Tron envelope filter. The filter has been disconnected, there are no electrical issues from it having been installed and removed. I will include the filter, I have no idea if it works. The back of the wood case is missing (see photos). Numerous slider shafts are broken but the sliders still work. Missing slider caps. Some of the faders are scratchy Some of the screws are replacements on the front panel. The power connector has been replaced. Most of the electrolytic and tantalum capacitors have been replaced in the VCA, EG and outputs sections as well as the power supply. (this is actually a good thing). The good stuff: All 3 oscillators work and sound great. The filter works and sounds great. Envelopes work. The VCA has been replaced with an exact replica. It now functions perfectly. S+H, noise, slew, reverb all work. It really does sound great. No keyboard is included. This arp appears pretty rough but it sounds great. Please note all the cosmetic issues. Look closely at the photos. Ask questions. No returns accepted, so if you have concerns or certain requirements ask before bidding. Buying this arp or placing a bid means you accept any and all of its imperfections and awesomeness."

"The unit appears to be working reasonably well, but an issue I noticed is that VCO2 seems like its only making small output level compared to VCO1. I'm pretty sure it was fine when I first tested, but when I tried playing again after a couple of days, the VCO2 level was becoming a lot smaller somehow and I'm not sure what caused this. The sound changes when you change settings on VCO2, VCA2 and VCF2 knobs, so I guess it could possibly be some simple servicing or adjustment needed for the VCO2 output.

Otherwise, all the keys and knobs and sliders appear to be working fine as I tested accordingly to the owner's manual. The Sequencer section was fine too."

"The unit appears to be working reasonably well, apart from having some unresponsive keys. They are 1G, 2G, 2C, 3F, 3D, 4A, 4E, 5F, 6F, 1C#, 2D#, 3C#, and 5D#. It seems like there are few other keys that are making smaller output compared to others too, which could probably do with some servicing.

Otherwise, all the switches and sliders appear to be functioning fine as I tested. There is a bit of noise on the sliders, which should do with some servicing/adjustment as well."

"We're looking at Korg's new music creation environment - Gadget - with 15 instruments to choose from and a well designed GUI, taking full advantage of the iOS touch world, we think its a killer app. As a result, we're awarding it a Sonic Touch Gold Award"

The Phoenix is based on the Oberheim OB-Xa / OB-8. Still hoping KORG will support full screen landscape mode for the gadgets. It's unfortunate as many of the synths can stand on their own with an external MIDI keyboard/controller.

Make Noise STO doing steel drums (kinda)


Published on Apr 24, 2014 nedavine·35 videos

"Was trying to patch something very different when I started this. I was going for a gentle noise modulated filter fm. When it didn't work I ended up running through different filter FM sources and ended up with this. The braids is in RING mode and is going to the ripples FM input. The sub and shaped STO outputs are going to ripples with the A4 providing a slow lfo to the linear fm for some pitch wobble. The A4 is also providing an envelope for the ripples VCA with a slow attack. Octatrack is arping the STO. Apart from the drums and the bass everything else is the sto. the sound under the bass at the beginning is actually the STO's delay feedback form a previous attempt. It sounded good so I kept it. And lfo is modulating the delay and delay to reverb sends in the A4."
