Buchla Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager

via this auction
"The Buchla Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager is four lowpass gates with individual outputs and one summed output. The 292e respondes to voltage control, A/D or ADSR envelopes, and even aftertouch via the 225e midi interface. The module is in excellent shape and is both physically and electronically sound. Included is the firmware memory card. Other features include:

* 292e sports four independent voltage controlled amplifiers. Each has a signal input and output, a control voltage input that varies the unit's gain from -120 to +3db, an offset adjustment, and a velocity input. The latter adds further control to the gain when employed and becomes transparent when unconnected.
* A switch selects one of three operating modes: straight gate (VCA), lowpass filter (VCF), or a combination of the two, in which the spectral response varies as the gain is changed.
* Frequency domain gating imparts a dynamic tonal variation that gives the listener a sense of absolute loudness. This quality is characteristic of all acoustic instruments (the harder you strike, pluck, or blow, the richer the overtone structure).
* A mix of the four output signals is also provided. Aided by the model 225e or the 206e preset manager, the settings of the 292e can be stored and retrieved."
