Barry Threw dropped by this prior post on the IRCAM Buchla. He actually found it."Last week I was down in San Deigo working on some ongoing projects with Keith McMillen (of the BEAM Foundation) and Miller Puckette (of Max and pd fame), and ran into this gem, the Buchla 100 from Ircam, in a spare bedroom."
You can see and read more about it on his blog.
Udpate: see the comments of this post for more info as well. I removed the references to 100 from this post so there is no confusion.
wicked.
ReplyDeleteit looks like its be shot underwater,,,very nice, such a shame to see it neglected
ReplyDeleteim sure no one cares , but thats 200 series stuff , not 100....i cant help myself...i wonder how long it sits there before some one with a lot of money scoops it up :(
ReplyDelete200 (or 300) that Subotnick was using.
ReplyDeleteYes it's the 300 series, which included many of the 200 modules, although some were changed to allow for direct computer control ( like the 292).
ReplyDeletevery early 300s had a digital interface for the 292B and early "Blueboard" 281s... this was called the "312 Gating Matrix" and included a complex LED display.. it didn't work very well and was scrapped. 259s were originally attached to a 359 interface (subcard mounted in the chassis below them) for computer control and auto tuning.. again.. never worked well and was discontinued rather quickly.
ReplyDeleteLater (1977/78) 200 series modules 292C and "yellow"" 281s have switches for computer control via 300 but it was never implemented.. instead the computer interfaced with the 200 series modules through patchbays (320 and 329-6 or 8)... the 221 keyboard had a digital setting which allowed the user to navigate and input data in Patch IV Software.
sorry for the info.

This systems configuration suggests it was designed for processing sound rather than generating them.
