Buchla TTA 296T | Episode 17 | Jailbroken

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I've been preparing to sell my 296T this week, because it's too big, I rarely use it and I do not like the nasal and harsh resonant character too much. Sure it's personal, because the 296T is a faithful recreation of the original classic model (and it also sounds like the more modern LED version 296e). I've explored the module in many videos, but best results were achieved when I patched my Mellotron in it (see 207T video in playlist).

I've been browsing youtube for patch examples, to do a final check on true Buchla versions, because maybe I overlooked something. I did not, it is what it is and I can either accept it, or sell it. In either case I need to stop whining about it. But then I found a cool video from the Sonny Downs Quartet channel, where a simple dual VCO in a 'chord' setting was spectrally transferred into beautiful textures. And then I realized the 296T is eurorack and every I/O can be used. Anyway, I decided to keep the 296T after all, and this video may help to explain why."
