From the Buchla 259e page"Popular demand does work occasionally - we’ve resurrected and renamed the original 259e Complex Waveform Generator. The new 259e is practically identical to the original, and is replete with all of the original digital waveshaping, aliasing noise, and foldover frequencies. However, we’ve added new self-modifying, screeching, snarling responses that reflect weird internal origins. Hence the name “twisted”.
Otherwise similar to the 261e Complex Waveform Generator, with voltage-controlled modulation of pitch, amplitude, and timbre, both hard and soft synchronization, and pitch tracking.
In conjunction with the model 225e MIDI Manager, the 259e's pitches respond to internally routed MIDI messages. Up to four 259's can peacefully co-exist in a single system, each with its private MIDI channel.
As in all 200e series modules, the settings of the 259e's pots and switches can be memorized as a part of a preset configuration. Provided you have a 225e or a 206e in your system.
The accompanying picture is actually a photo of a previous 259e. The new one is not quite identical, but has yet to be photographed. The new twisted version is completely software and hardware compatible with the earlier (complex) version. (Suitable for ages 10 – 28)"
I feel this module is essential in delivering the best banjo experience.

ReplyDeletebanjo jokes are so 2007.
ReplyDeleteTime to get some new material Dok F.
ReplyDeleteI am so ready to pick one of these machines up! there's nothing that can touch it and so many companies just copy what it does so why not just go for the real deal! jokes aside.
ReplyDeletenow I need $26,500 LMFAOOoooo
you could get a 4 or a 6 panel system. ask yourself this: will i actually use a 26k system? does the music i make, assuming it's being used to make music, necessitate or justify a system that large? functional density.
ReplyDeleteHa, yes... There DOES seem to be an inverse relationship to the size of the system and the quality of the music it makes sometimes.
