early tests with Buchla Lightning + Max; once again, using a Buchla controller as a way of testing different parametric linkages / interaction strategies for what i hope will eventually become a standalone instrument. in this case, lightning is sending several position-related CCs to Max, which is running several simultaneous [gen~] patches. these patches were originally developed for several daisy-based modules i designed, namely:

2x Impulse Generator (a pulsar synthesis-based oscillator and nonlinear distortion feedback device)
1x Retention Mechanism (a granular sampler / multitap delay / pitch shifter)
1x Temporal Drag Processor (a multitap delay / resonator)

i only recently acquired the Lightning; here, i'm using it with the rings from a Buchla 222e Multidimensional Kinesthetic Input Port. the use here is quite basic, relying mostly on the Lightning "Ear's to MAX" factory configuration. no doubt i'll keep exploring more unusual ways to use it in the future
