"Here is a patch using the vintage half of my Buchla 100

You are hearing 100% Buchla with nothing else

The patch is trying to mimic a tolling bell, but in a slightly rhythmic way, as the overtones resonate in time with the main clock, being 8th note divisions

The setup uses 2 pairs of sine waves going into 2 Ring Modulators. These are sent to the 102 Stereo Locator, which is used as a VC switch in mono mode and uses an envelope to fade between the ring-modulated tones upon each clock pulse. This sound then goes into the Sharp Cutoff Filter in low pass mode for shaping the sound before going into the Frequency Shifter in the "phaser" mode (ie sending the signal to one half of it, as well as going to one channel of a mixer, then an LFO goes to the other half of the FS, and a clean signal goes to channel 2 of the mixer, and when they are blended correctly, phasing happens in a rather pleasing way)"
