Buchla 200e. I think it's worth the price for the light show alone.

  2. anon: sometimes you gotta hold back the banjo jokes.

    advice4u:

    you gotta know when to use em, know when to abuse them, know when to oscillate away, and know when to run.

    you don't count your patch cords,
    while you're sitting at the modular!
    there'll be time enuf for counting,
    when the banjo's strung.

  4. Hey anon, you're right! What good is it if it doesn't do a decent piano? Remember that piano Yamaha used to make? What was it called... oh yeah, the DX-7!

  10. I actually learned how to play keyboard in 1974 on something that had a Banjo button on it.

    A Lowrey Organ.

    I never used any instruments except for strings and something called "Symphonic Wow." Very colorful buttons though. My mother still has it in her condo and wants desperately for me to take it away, but there's no room in my apartment.

    TEH END

  12. Vinktor, regarding the DX7 harmonica, I can attest from personal experience that the 259e oscillator can do an uncanny likeness of said preset. I accidentally stumbled across the phenomenon in an Alexander Graham Bell/ Tina Turner moment one afternoon.

  13. The Buchla 200e can certainly do a B3 sound.

    All you need are (FOR EACH NOTE):

    1 260e Pitch Class Generator ($900)
    1 261e Complex Waveform Generator ($1400)
    2 281e Triple Morphing Filters ($2400)
    1 292e Quad Dynamics Manager ($700)
    (at least)

    So it's easily achievable for around $5400 per note.

    One could use the Kinesthetic Input Controller as a sort of 3D virtual Draw-Bar.

    Final cost of B3 emulation with a 200e is probably in the neighbourhood of 1.1 million once you factor in cabinets, system interfaces, etc...


    Arts council grant anyone? Let's fund it!
