Exploring the 259tDiscovering the 259t Sound | Tiptop Buchla Patch with 245t, 266t, 281t & 292t


video upload by VoxModula Archives

"In this patch talk, I explore the timbral range of the Tiptop Buchla 259t Complex Oscillator, using the 245t, 266t, 281t, and 292t to build a dynamic, evolving modular voice.

The session is fully improvised and recorded live — a look into the interaction between control voltages, random modulation, and the organic response of the Buchla 200-inspired system.

🎛️ Modules used:
• Tiptop Buchla 259t Complex Oscillator
• Tiptop Buchla 245t Sequential Voltage Source
• Tiptop Buchla 266t Source of Uncertainty
• Tiptop Buchla 281t Quad Function Generator
• Tiptop Buchla 292t Quad Lopass Gate"

264t & 242t Chord Machine - Tiptop Audio & Buchla


video upload by Stazma

"From plucky polyphonic arpeggios to BIG chords!

This is an idea I had in my head for some time, combining the 264t Polyphonic Adapter with ART and my two 259t with the 242t to trigger clusters of notes and create strums / arp / chords type sounds.

It worked and here is how!"

“Chain Reaction” Brainwaves controlling a Buchla Morphagene CV/MIDI setup & INA GRM Tools Atelier 🧠✨


video upload by Stephano Gavilanes

"Biofeedback exploration using brainwaves via the BI1 Brainterface to control a hybrid CV/MIDI Buchla setup with the Fake Noise - Morphagene, Magnetic Freak - Gaussian, and five instances of INA GRM Tools 'Atelier' via MIDI👌🏽

Original sample sounds produced with an EMS VCS3, a Buchla 200 system, and later processed with Atelier. Timpani type percussion extracted from my track “Maestro” which was created by accident with only a 212 Dodecamodule and a Folktek Resonant Garden as a feedback patch, loaded into Morphagene.

Hope you enjoy it! 🤙🏼

Schallwerk 200e: Okolytic Implant 23


video upload by verstaerker

"Ein Fragment aus der Zukunft des Körpers.
Metallische Pulse, biomechanische Rhythmen und fragmentierte Kontrollspannungen treffen auf kalte, klinische Präzision.
Dieses Implantat sendet keine Signale – es formt sie.

Ein audiovisueller Eingriff zwischen organischem Feedback und synthetischer Disziplin.
Erzeugt, moduliert und transformiert mit dem Buchla 200e System.

The Concrete Box


video upload by Memetune Studio

"Here is a video about the small Eurorack recording / FX box I have recently put together, which I call 'The Concrete Box'

In the video I describe the various modules and how I work with them as a way of recording and manipulating other instruments (in this case a vintage Buchla 100), to create live performances and evolving soundscapes"

VoxModula TipTop Buchla Demos


video uploads by VoxModula Archives

Playlist:

1. Polyrhythmic Motion – TipTop Audio Buchla 245t / 281t
A 4-minute modular improvisation exploring the interaction between The Tiptop Audio Buchla 245t and the 281t — where sequential voltage triggers envelopes, generating evolving polyrhythms and shifting patterns.

Recorded live, no overdubs, no post-processing.

Modules used:
• TipTop Audio Buchla 245t Sequential Voltage Source
• TipTop Audio Buchla 281t Quad Function Generator
• TipTop Audio Buchla 258t Dul Oscillator

Part of VoxModula Archives — a growing collection of modular sound fragments and explorations.

🎧 Best experienced on headphones.
2. Tiptop Buchla + Strymon El Capistan Live Modular Loop Performance / VoxModula #02
A live modular improvisation exploring the Strymon El Capistan as a looping delay.

The sound slowly folds into itself — echoes become layers, layers become memory.

Recorded in one take.
No editing, no overdubs.
3. Exploring FM Synthesis on Tiptop Buchla 258t + 259t | Live Patch Talk
In this video I explore FM synthesis on the Tiptop Buchla 258t and 259t, using the 245t sequencer to modulate pitch and rhythm, and the 266t for random voltages. It’s a li

ve patch talk — I build the sound and explain what happens in real time, fit's my first video like, hopefully you will like it.

Let me know if you would be interested in more videos like this.
If you want the audio files and detailed photos of the patch please reach out and I can send them to you.

🎛️ Modules used:
• Tiptop Buchla 258t Dual Oscillator
• Tiptop Buchla 259t Complex Oscillator
• Tiptop Buchla 245t Sequential Voltage Source
• Tiptop Buchla 266t Source of Uncertainty

🎧 Patch focus: FM synthesis, modulation routing, random CV and sequence interaction.
And two featuring Moog for good measure:

Playlist:

1. Short Ambient Moog Grandmother Performance (40s Demo)
A short ambient performance using the Moog Grandmother, exploring smooth analog tones, slow modulation, and spatial delay textures.

Recorded live in one take — with external effects, Zoom Ms-70 CDR, Grandmother’s raw sound shaped into a soft, floating atmosphere.

🎛️ Gear used:
• Moog Grandmother (analog synth)
• Internal spring reverb & Zoom Ms70 CDR delay
2. VoxModula Archives – The Beginning of an Archive
Hi, this is the first video of VoxModula Archives. VoxModula is an ongoing collection of sonic fragments — recordings where synthesis meets the quiet presence of the surrounding world.

Each piece is an observation of sound as a living material: unstable, imperfect, shaped by voltage and time.

The project does not aim to perform or entertain, but to document the space between intention and accident — where tone becomes memory, and noise becomes evidence of existence.

These works are presented without manipulation or spectacle, as if retrieved from an open archive of moments.

Nothing here is fixed.
Everything breathes.

Buchla & Tiptop Essential System 200t VOL 2


video upload by Stazma

"Today we are going to check out a selection of four modules from the 200t lines by Tiptop Audio & Buchla that to me are the four essential building block to form a small and portable system: The 258t, 281t, 292t and 266t!

I'm going to explore different setup with these four modules, different ways to control & play them."

Orangey-Brown Accumulation (Buchla 100)


video upload by Memetune Studio

"This is a live performance on an original Buchla 100 from the late 1960s, using the Concrete Box™ , and TX-6 mixer

The patch uses 3 loopers and 2 delays, plus a very old Dynacord VRS23 reverb (which is adding some slightly woozy pitch-bendy-ness to the reverb)

The Buchla has a really basic patch - just one Sine-Saw VCO into the Sharp Cutoff Filter (Lowpass section). There's some cutoff mod from the keyboard capacitance voltage (which is why I'm wiggling my fingers in a rather silly-looking way)

The vintage Buchla 100 sounds so natural, rich and organic, I love it - almost like an acoustic instrument - a brassy, beautiful tone from the saw waves

Also, there's a second VCO (square) going into the HPF section of the Sharp Cutoff Filter (which is independent from the lowpass section in this mode) for the low drones

It builds up a bit like the many fallen leaves which have accumulated upon the now wintery lawn I am gazing upon"

"Buchla / BEMI 208e rev3 module in like new condition. All is good working, better than from the factory. I installed NOS µA726 and (re)calibrated the oscillators tracking, they have similar range and track well, the CO over 4 octaves and the MO over 5 octaves. I scaled the AM so that it reaches full level with the slider all the way up (and not around mid-course like on many units, which twists the waverform and causes modulation at double frequency). I can install it in a powered boat for standalone use. I can do modifications such as stiffer pots, Rogan knobs, dedicated out for each LPG or the CO (to sync the VCS3 Card's oscillator and FM the MO), reverb mix CV input, noise generator... Happy to discuss this with the buyer."
