Exploration Situation

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Here I have set up an exploration situation, whereby I can mess about with various settings on the Buchla 200 while it's playing a semi-random patch

I'm using the 208 Easel module for initial sound generation, which goes to the 296 Spectral Processor, then out to two places: the even output goes to a mixer input, and the odd out goes to the 288 Time Domain Processor, then into mixer input 2. This goes out to the 289 Defect Processor top section, which has Maxlord's Lexi-like (224) reverb EPROM fitted. It's a great reverb! And you can CV various parameters. Joy!"

Don Buchla’s electronic instruments can be understood as musical tools and as environments for exploration. They allow performers to play in a physical and expressive way, yet they also invite a method of working that resembles research into the behavior of voltage and timbre.
Buchla did not follow the conventions of keyboard based instruments. Instead he created systems in which sound could be shaped through touch sensitive controls, complex modulation, and freely arranged signal paths. As a result, each patch becomes both a performance setup and a place to investigate how tones, noise sources, control voltages and modulation can interact within an electronic space."

Easel Sample Transformation

video upload by Todd Barton

"I'm always amazing how the Easel can transform & transmogrify a single sound. I begin with a single gong hit sample from the Morphagene going into Aux In on the Easel. Slowly gate that then move on the Balance Modulate it and finally bring in the Complex Oscillator for some thumps. Enjoy!

Defect Process 2 - Discombobulation arises

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Another exploration on the Defect Processor, this time feeding one half of the 289 into the other. It's kind of ghostly and interesting - I love how you can change the pitch of the reverb in real time - quite a discombobulating effect"

Defect Processor Buchla 289

video upload by Memetune Studio

"A few months ago I managed to snag a Defect Processor Model 289 made by Alex Pleninger (Keen Association) and Roman F

This hyper-rare module adds some appropriately bonkers digital FX to the Buchla 200 series system, by using two independent stereo digital effects units based around the rather interesting Spin Chip platform (it has two of them inside)

The module takes any audio signal and subjects it to various Spin Chip algorithms - there are 8 per section, and they are pre-set on EPROMS on the board behind the panel. The good news is you can swap out the EPROMS and change the 16 algorithms if you so desire, and you can even create your own if you get the Spin Chip programmer

I have a set that includes this insane delay patch. The module has CV inputs for some of the parameters (not many Spin-based products have this facility AFAIK) but here I am playing around with the delay times and feedback levels by hand

I’m also tweaking the 259 timbre, the LPG decay time, and the mix between Noise and VCO, and the Bandpass filter

Crazy sounds and defects abound!"

Follow the Sound I

video upload by Todd Barton

"Todd Barton with Buchla Music Easel and Eurorack

Making this public, my OSU Soundbox 4 virtual performance from 2021. Eager to perform live for Soundbox 9 in May 29-30.

The original post:

Dear Patrons, I'm so glad to share this little improvisation with you. It premiered last night at SoundBox4 https://liberalarts.oregonstate.edu/s... That festival is still going on today and tomorrow and it is free, you might like to check it out.
I surely miss performing live but when I turn on the video and audio recorders and imagine an audience it is an exciting alternative. I hope you enjoy this. All best wishes, Todd"
