Melodic Buchla 100 with SciFi video - by Benge

video upload by Memetune Studio



"Another track from the new Benge album

The track itself is made on a vintage Buchla 100 series modular system from the 1960s. A series of looper modules made by 2hp were used to construct the music in real time

How many melodic Buchla 100 videos are out there? Not many I wager

You can watch the original performance here:
• Orangey-Brown Accumulation (Buchla 100) [posted here]

This video pays homage to one of my favourite science fiction illustrators Bruce Pennington, who was responsible for many amazing book covers, which I have on my shelf. I have tried to bring them to life by putting them through the Memetune VideoLab...enjoy!"

KINTSUGI - a song by Gattobus

video upload by gattobus

"Kintsugi is a Japanese art that consists of repairing broken pots or cups with a gold filling. I think we should do the same with our lives. Whenever you feel broken or incomplete, try to fill yourself with what you like the most. We all have to find our own 'gold', the things that can fill the gaps in our soul.
Music is my gold. This is what this song is about.
I hope you like it.

If you do, please consider subscribing to my channel and sharing my work. Thank you!

This is a real-time performance played with my Buchla Easel Command 208C.
Drums and synth parts added later.
Mixing and mastering in Ableton Live 12."

How to Vocoder with the 296t

"Today we are going to check out how to use the 296t as a vocoder and mostly how to patch two of them together to double de number of bands available and get more inteligible vocals and general sounds (breakbeat???!!!).

Have fun!!!"

Buch Comber

video upload by Memetune Studio

"I’ve been rejigging the Buchla 200 cabinet today, as I just picked up some new cloney modules from a cool guy named Stephen in Farringdon. I got a Verbos pulser, a completely bonkers Clouds derivative live granulating module, and the excellent 295 Comb Filter, which is a really nice way of getting your hands dirty when it comes to manipulating sound on the Buchla. A bit like beach combing but it’s Buchla comb-filtering. Buch Combing

This is a live performance of some experiments in sound mangling, so don’t expect any nice melodies or beatz"

Tobinski Harmonic Timing Generator / Interpolating Scanner

video upload by Stromkult

"Quick overview, over the Interpolating Scanner and Harmonic Timing Generator by Tobinski!

As a reference clock generator, the Harmonic Timing Generator produces a base frequency with analogue multipliers (x1 to x8) to generate complex timing signals. It features three manual or voltage-controlled frequency selectors, falling sawtooth outputs, and an LFO mode for low-frequency clocking.

The 8-Channel Interpolating Scanner combines an 8-channel interpolating scanner with an array of 8 independent VCAs. It allows you to smoothly blend between up to 8 stages using either bipolar CV or manual control. The 8 inputs feed both the scanner and VCAs simultaneously, and 8 switchable sliders can control input levels to the scanner, the VCAs, or both.

Both modules seamlessly integrate via an internal ribbon cable. The scanner inputs automatically link to the Harmonic Timing Generator outputs via sine shaping circuitry. When used together, the sawtooth outputs of the generator are transformed into sine waves, enabling the two modules to function as a sinewave harmonic oscillator.

"Here's a live performance on the (cloned) Buchla 200 system, alongside my trust 'Concrete Box' (basically some euro rack units that allow me to record and process live performances)

Oh, and the Teenage Engineering TX6 which I'm using as a final recorder

Hope you like it!"

Buchla Music Easel + TipTopAudio 248t (MARF) exploration #01

video upload by Trübüla

"First attempt at making the Music Easel and Eurorack talk to each other.

The 218 pulse drives the MARF and Frap Tools Sapèl.

On the Easel, I'm exploring Todd Barton's 'Pointillism' patch, with a few personal detours along the way.

There's no real destination here ..."

Background Modulars No12 - Buchla 200

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Don’t have a real cloned Buchla 200 to hand? No worries! Just put this video on in the background (in full-screen mode), and have the next best thing 😁

Here is 10 minutes of self-playing modular synthesiser randomness

Why not put it on loop - then you can have it playing away in the background while you do other things

A note on the patch:

'I’m using the 259 as the main sound source, which is being sent to various places: the 288 delay, the 296 filter bank and the Dodeca modules’s LPGs

The MARF is combined with the 208 5 step sequencer to produce all the modulations, all powered from a 281 VC function generator

The Dodeca mixer provides stereo panning and the general output'

This piece was featured on Modulisme Session 131: https://modular-station.com/modulisme...

And it appears on this album:

How does the Crystal Dagger sound? (Buchla Music Easel & Erica Synths Echolocator)

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"I had a lot of fun with this one 🫶

I imagined how the Crystal Dagger from the Princess Mononoke movie could sound… does it sound mysterious or clear and bright? Does it have a spirit of its own? Could it be connected with the sea and its waves because of its bluish colour?

All sounds were made with the Buchla Music Easel and the Erica Synths Echolocator."

Driving the LA's I-110 / CA-110 Harbor Freeway | Original music

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We drive the length of "the 110" Harbor Freeway in Los Angles from its southern end in San Pedro near the Vincent Thomas Bridge to the "four level interchange" with US 101 just north of downtown LA. From the southern end to the interchange with I-10, the freeway is signed as Interstate 110; north if I-10, it is California Highway 110.

This one was a lot of fun and quite special for us at CatSynth, and we really enjoyed the drive, creating the disco-infused soundtrack, and sharing it with all of you!

The drive continues along the remaining segment of CA 110, the Arroyo Seco Parkway in an upcoming video.
