200 vs 200e & source of wiggleocity

Published on Jun 6, 2015 peff .com

"First time interfacing the old super easel with 200e modules. I've never closely calibrated the 200's oscillators and discovered that it's scaled to 2.4V/octave. So it's not exactly compatible with the 1.2v/oct of the 200e system."

Buchla 200 - Video #1 & Synthe-modulaire Compilation 2015

And via Hathor Menat: "Also I created a french modular forum 5 years ago which is called: synthe-modulaire.com. Each year we make a modular music compilation based upon a theme which comes from a consensus of all the interested participants. Last year opus was promoted through VSE but i thought you might be interested in relaying it through your blog as well.

$3500 Buchla 249e DARF Synthesizer Module

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

In case you were wondering what a $3500 module looks like...

via the seller: "Shown for sale is a near-pristine (screw wear only) Buchla 249e Dual Arbitrary Function Generator, lovingly referred to by many as the DARF.

This incredibly rare sequencer module was made in very limited quantities during the earliest era of the e-series Buchla Modular Synthesizer. Two tracks of 24-steps with multiple pulse and CV outputs, sequence scanning inputs and all sorts of other wild tricks!

This module has been thoroughly tested and is working properly.

This auction includes only the module as shown."

"Todd Barton and Bruce Bayard performing as the duet, Control Voltage Therapy, continue their quadraphonic concert series at the Schneider Museum of Art. Again this month with special guest Eden Mononym. Here is a live recording of the completely improvised concert of May 22, 2015 [announced here] featuring 3 Buchla Music Easels and a special program card, 'Pontillism' by Todd Barton"

Buchla 259 Processing

Published on May 20, 2015 Todd Barton

"Continuing in my didactic mode here is a demo of creating different processed layers from a single sequence using just two oscillators. For better audio:
http://soundcloud.com/user7621213/buc...

This is a simple 7 stage sequence going to the Principal Osc and a low pitch bending bass from the Modulation Osc.

Using the Buchla 205 Audio Matrix I have split up 2 of the audio outs of the Principal Oscillator and sent them to different sections of the 292 for processing, I’ve further taken those independent outs and sent them to the 296 Spectral Processor and 277r Delay. Similarly I’ve used audio outs of the Modulation Oscillator and sent them to the 292 and beyond.

This little video demonstrates the various processing via the 205 matrix mixer along with some FM and feedback echo on the 277 and AM modulation of the Principal at times. Enjoy!"

Upcoming Performances by Todd Barton Featuring the Buchla Music Easel & More

via Todd Barton:

"Hi Friends,

I'm excited to announce these upcoming concerts at the Schneider Museum of Art on the SOU campus:

Spatial Frontiers
Noon, Friday, May 22, 2015
Schneider Museum of Art

Todd Barton and Bruce Bayard, with special guest Eden Monomyn. All three artists will be playing the Buchla Music Easel, each using a special program card designed by Todd which brings focus to the incredible expressive power of this electronic instrument. Additional controls to the placement of sound in space is also featured.

This concert is free and open to the public.

AND . . .

Special Edition
Noon, Thursday, May 28, 2015
Schneider Museum of Art

Todd Barton and Bruce Bayard, are joined by special guests Sarah Belle Reid and Ryan Gaston from California Institute of the Arts.

This concert is free and open to the public.

Sarah Belle Reid is a trumpet player, intermedia artist, and improvisor who is described as having an onstage presence that is both captivating and passionate. Sarah is an endlessly curious artist, one who collaborates closely with composers, choreographers, actors, and multimedia artists, and is always eager to experiment and explore novel approaches to expression. More than a trumpeter, Sarah has been described by audiences as a true “character” and “story-teller”; a musician whose drive to innovate and re-imagine performance is at the heart of her artistic vision. Sarah holds an MFA in trumpet performance from the California Institute of the Arts.

Ryan Gaston is a composer, bandleader, and sound artist from Little Rock, Arkansas. Currently a candidate for an MFA in Experimental Sound Practices at the California Institute of the Arts, Ryan's work centers around musical interface/instrument design, modular synthesizer performance, network music, and research into techniques for sound spatialization and strategies for notation and analysis of electronic and timbre-based music. Fascinated by developing new modes of listening and performing, Gaston writes both performed and recorded music that seeks to exploit the unique possibilities of its own venue of realization--be it a concert hall, dingy dive bar, art gallery, or a pair of headphones.

all best wishes, hope to see you there,
Todd"

Buchla Easel - Blue Sky Shimmer

"Loving the sound of Buchla and the Stymon reverb.
the sounds are a mix of Buchla 208 & Eurorack --- all put through a Blue Sky. It's like having a whole choir in your living room.
Thanks Paul AKA Cobramatic.
If you can, listen to this with good headphones or monitors."

Buchla AI Analog Intelligence

Published on May 16, 2015 Todd Barton

"This is a purely self-generating patch. I’m surprised by the “almost human” choices of pitch, articulation, dynamics, ornaments, vibrato, portamento and phrasing in this patch. Analog Intelligence. You, at times, can almost hear the tonguing of a single reed-like instrument, i.e. Duduk or Clarinet. The heart and brains of the patch is the Buchla Source of Uncertainty 266e module which is randomly modulating the Buchlidian equivalent of EG, LFO, VCA, VCF, MOD, etc. For better audio:

Buchla 257c 277r Sculpting

Published on May 11, 2015 Todd Barton

"Back to my didactic mode: A rudimentary patch to demonstrate the simple sonic sculpting function of the Buchla 257 Voltage Processor morphing the Timbre of the 259 oscillator and using the FM in on the 277r Signal Delay Unit to add some fuzz and different accent pattern. The shifting bass and treble accents are the 266 going to the Harmonics of the 259. For better audio:

Easel PVS Space

Published on May 6, 2015 Todd Barton

"a simple demonstration using the Buchla Music Easel's Preset Voltage Source to vary the quadraphonic rate and which sound moves among the 4 speakers. Pad 1=slow to Pad 4=fast. of course you will be hearing this in stereo but the effect is audible.
