Buchla 251e Experimental Quantizing


Published on Apr 6, 2014 djangosfire·187 videos

"Getting to know the Buchla 251e Quad Sequential Voltage Source module.

I set up 3x voltage sources:

1 - as a 4 to 7 note sequence for main pitch

2 - as a Harmonic Minor scale quantizer that was used to transpose the main pitch

3 - was set 0-10v (in one volt increments) for filter dynamics

Heavy use of voltage mixing along with creative 266e QRV & SRV.... then saved variations into the Preset Manager.

It dawned on me tonight really how cool 1.2 Volts per octave is to program scales....... since I'm a guitar player, it exactly like the frets of a guitar neck:

0 = open string
.1 = 1st fret
.2 = 2nd fret
etc.... on up to 1.2 = 12th fret = octave

Awesome!!

Cheers,
- Adam"
