"Buchla 222e Kinesthetic Multi-Dimensional Input Port Module & Touch-plate with motion sensing Rings, USB charger and cable for rings, and Buchla passive 3 space boat for external Touch-plate.

Note: The 222e has recently been discontinued from production by BEMI. This Buchla 222e setup is offered at a steeply reduced low price (less $1000 from new) for quick sale.

The listing includes the 222e Control Module with built in remote sensors, two wireless Buchla Rings for CV control of all 200e modular parameters, 4 channel polyphony; programmable CV location, pressure and impact touch sensitivity controls for all four 222e output channels; multiple programmable pulses out; 27 independently programmable touch surface pads that include dual CV and gate out in 4 channels over 10 octaves; and two virtual joystick X/Y directional sensing pads with CV controlled output from 0 to 10v.

Touch-plate may be installed in any Buchla boat or externally in the provided Buchla wood and aluminum tray. Sale includes cabling for in boat and external setup. The 222e setup is a wonderful way to interact with your 200e and legacy series Buchla and third party modular. Operates at 1.2v/octave.

Note - This module and Touch-plate for sale were recently inspected and calibrated by B&A at Curtiss Street offices. Sale includes original notes from Buchla and Associates describing operational capabilities of the 222e.

222e description from the Buchla & Associates Website (Note this Module is not listed on the current BEMI website):

Extend your performance technique beyond spaghetti tossing and knob twiddling to the caress of Thunder and the zap of Lightning.

This three panel unit tactile sensor responds to a feather-weight touch, or to several pounds of pressure. An accompanying spatial sensor, mounted in the third row and occupying 1 panel unit, tracks the movement of the hands as they leave the confines of the surface.

The tactile surface is normally mounted in the first row of a 201e-12 or 201e-18 cabinet: alternatively, it may be mounted in the recently announced 201e-3u frame, relieving spatial binds in crowded systems.

An ergonomic array of 27 keys sense pressure and velocity; fourteen respond to location in one or two dimensions. Arrayed into multiple user-defined groups ranging in size from 1 to 25 keys, they produce a variety of user-programmed control voltages.

Location, pressure, impact and tuned voltages, as well as pulses, are presented at a total of 30 outputs. The LCD based user interface is remarkably simple and flexible.

Trigonometric detection of 2 wireless rings provides spatial information in three dimensions, with additional data provided by ring-mounted switches. Charging of the rings is accomplished by plugging them into powered USB sockets.

All settings, including key programming, can be memorized and recalled by the 225e or 206e preset manager"
