Buchla 200e Sample by Ezra Buchla

Title link takes you to samples sent to the Buchla 200e group by Ezra Buchla, Don Buchla's son. I found it best to download everything to a folder and then play the samples as one entire, piece in order.

"there are all kinds of modules in there. i recorded a few seconds or minutes
of every system i checked out. it's pure 200e, pretty random patches, no
specific intentions...

one of the weirder sounds in there is a 227 mounted backwards and played
with fingers and a flashlight. try it if you dare but don't let the op-amps
get too hot...

yasi and i also recorded a couple of 'spine sessions' where we filled a
whole cabinet with one kind of module. we did one with 18 259's and one with
18 self-oscillating 291's. there's some of that in there, but sometime i'll
get around to editing a more focused thing i think.

both oscillators can produce lots of harsh staz without even using any
patchords; set the mod osc to modulate pitch in pitch tracking mode for
builtin fm feedback... cv feedback introduces some additional interesting
noise from the cv sampling rate interactions; use 2 coupled oscs in low
frequency mode and a 291 to make weird stumbling chaos glitch beats.

the phasor can do some pretty intense self-modulating stuff as well. use the
210+281+292+297 to make no-input tabla freakout."

  3. Nah, that's perfect Buchla 200e man.

    Like the band 'Disaster Area', it's best listened to from an orbiting moon or distant planet.

  4. those aren't samples. they are "simplexes" or "gubbish."
