Buchla/Tiptop #257T | Voltage Processor


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The 257 Voltage Processor is the latest addition to the Buchla/Tiptop Audio 200 series. It may not have the impressive looks of the previous releases, but - again - it's an amazing design by the legendary Don Buchla and it opens up many patches that are hard to achieve in modern Eurorack. The 257 and 281 (quad function generator) inspired many contemporary modules, with MakeNoise Maths being the most significant.

It will take some time to fold your brain around it, but this episode will hopefully make the module feel less scientific. The 257T has an equation on the panel that involves three voltages a, b and c. Voltage a can be attenuverted, voltage b and c can be crossfaded. These voltages are added together and finally you can add an offset voltage to the final output. It may feel like quantum mechanics instead of music, but that's the Westcoast way. To infinity and beyond!
