Buchla 200e and Serge talk nicely to each other

"hi all,

started working on some scapes for a new collab of mine recently and finally patched the Buchla 200e with the Serge.
my findings:

as a cv-source and for cv attenuation/mixing/offseting, Serge works really nice with the Buchla. i have lots of attenuators and cv processors in my Serge, so i use them with Buchla patches as well. they work fine!

Serge gates and triggers work fine triggering Buchla 281e, but you need to mult a serge gate/trigger into 2 inputs of a cv-processor (or 'dual processor' or 'Mix pro' or 'scale processor') AND add a little bit of voltage offset to the total. i guess that means that the serge gate/trigger then has a voltage level of around 12 volts. but that is the only way for the 281e to be triggered. but it works!

still have not tried audio between the two beasts, as the audio level in Buchla, being around 1 volt pp, is much lower than the Serge audio levels... when i have new findings regarding that issue will let you know.

so, for now, the verdict is that Serge and Buchla 200e talk really fine in terms of cv/gate/trigger's!"
