AN EXPLORATION OF THE BUCHLA 100 ELECTRONIC MODULAR SYNTHESISER
All Tracks created at Meme Tune Studios, London, UK utilising the Buchla 100 modular synthesiser. No additional processors were used in this recording. It should be noted that the Buchla 100 features its own sequencer module and this was used to produce the repeating rhythms in the music on this record and also the melodic and harmonic content. On the first track the voltage controlled touch plates (model 112) were used to produce some of the more performance-orientated sounds on the record. On most tracks the patches were set up and left to run by themselves, with minor human intervention other than adjusting the various potentiometers. The Buchla 100 system is very adept at producing self-perpetuating sounds and it is this aspect of it that is explored here
