early morning Tea & Tones / an ambient Buchla ritual

video upload by Daniel Mana - sound designer & composer

"A slow and gentle morning ritual.
Live ambient modular improvisation using a full TipTop Audio / Buchla 200 system.

In this performance, I prepare and drink tea while weaving textures of sound—no spoken words, just subtitles guiding you through the gestures, patching, and flow.
The everyday act of having a cup of tea becomes part of the composition, blurring the lines between routine and performance, noise and tone, silence and signal.

This is a space to slow down. A meditative patch. A Buchla morning.

Performed live – no overdubs
Genre: Ambient / Experimental / Modular Synth
Gear: TipTop Audio Buchla 200t system - Strymon El Capistan

☕ Bring your own cup and drift with me."

GND slow moves

video upload by Todd Barton

"In order to better understand, feel and hear the nonlinearity inherent in this amazing system I used just the Compact Oscillator Network (CON) and made two experiments: 1) slowly turning the Map Select from maximum to minimum 2) slowly sliding the f(C) slider from minimum to maximum. All sounds, effects and spatialization coming solely from the CON.

How Synthesizers Changed Music History

video upload by Andy Whitmore

"🎛️ The History of Synthesizers
From the massive Telharmonium of 1901 to today’s sleek soft synths, this video takes you through 150 years of electronic music innovation. Learn how electricity first made sound, how Moog and Buchla shaped the synth revolution, how digital FM and sampling changed everything in the '80s, and how modern VSTs like Serum and Omnisphere continue the legacy.
Along the way, you'll meet legends like Robert Moog, Don Buchla, Wendy Carlos, and Dave Smith—and discover the instruments that changed the sound of pop, rock, hip-hop, EDM, and film forever.
🧠 Whether you're a synth nerd or just curious how your favourite sounds came to be, this video is your complete crash course."

Complex System

video upload by Memetune Studio

"I was wanting a way of setting up an interactive environment to record sounds from some modular systems which could be the basis for some improvised performance based sound explorations

I figured that if I set up some cybersynth patches (ie patches that are evolving by themselves in some way, or are at least dynamically varied over time) and could record some long stereo samples (loops) that could be manipulated live, this might be an interesting thing to do

It occurred to me that the Octatrack, which I got a few years ago and use as a granulating sample mangler, might be perfect to pair with the modulars in this way

The thing about the Octatrack is that it is so unbelievably deep and sophisticated that it can be very difficult to set things up on. I see it as a truly Complex System (AI Overview definition: Complex systems are characterized by numerous interacting parts and emergent behaviors that are not readily predictable from the individual components) and the user manual is utterly hopeless beyond a very basic overview

With the Octatrack you have to basically tell it what you want to do for any given situation. You create a personalised environment inside it and then work within the limitations you set yourself. You have to think of a setup that you want to create, then you build it for yourself using all the different components. In other words, it's not a preset environment that does a few specific things, you have to decide what you want then make it yourself

So I thought it would be useful to have 4 stereo 'Tape Machines' that can be manipulated in real time, with control over the following in each: Pitch, Playback Speed (Timestretch), Direction (forward / reverse) basic Filtering (bandpass) and Delay with feedback. All the things you might find in a Musique Concrete studio in the 1950s (with the addition of granular timetretching)

I might do a more detailed breakdown of the Octatrack patch in the future, but I wanted to live with this setup for a while and make sure it does everything I want it to do in the most efficient way first

This is my first experiment with it, using the Buchla 200. There are two stereo outs from the Buchla - two independent patches running concurrently - going into the Octatrack's dual stereo inputs. These are then fed into the four "tape machines" I created in the Octatrack, which mixes them into one stereo output along with the two live feeds from the Buchla (so what you are hearing is a live mix of the Buchla's 2 voices plus 4 tape loops (30 seconds each) recorded as we go along from the Buchla. As I said, its a complex system 😁"

Buchla 200e Program Switch

video upload by verstaerker

"Initially, a straightforward sequence runs without any preset morphing or remote program changes.

After we heard the sequence a bit I connect the trigger outs of the 252e to the 225e Program Manager. At this point, you’ll hear the two VCOs begin to switch through their stored presets in sync with the trigger pulses — while the rest of the system remains unaffected, as only the VCOs are assigned to respond to remote program changes.

I’ll continue refining this setup with more modules enabled for remote control, and dial in more purpose-fit sounds to push this concept further.

Delay courtesy of the Strymon Volante, adding some extra flavor."
