Ambient Live Patch | 4 Tiptop Audio & Buchla Modules


video upload by A Last Picture From Voyager

"Time to play live with the 4 first modules I bought from the Tiptop Audio & Buchla eurorack series. Before getting these modules, I owned a hybrid setup made from analog and digital modules with lots of functionality (sometimes hidden), and I wanted to go back to the roots of sound synthesis. The Buchla philosophy was the one closest to my ambient experimental mood, so I went for it.

The 245t sequences voltages, the 258t generates the tones, the 266t adds unpredictability, and the 292t shapes it all into something organic. No computer, no external sequencer — just four modules and patch cables, breathing together.

I'll explain in detail all the reasons behind this choice on Patreon soon. For now, let's listen to a little piece of modular synthesis ambient music.

Modules used:

• ‪@tiptop-audio‬ & Buchla 245t (Sequential Voltage Source)
• Tiptop Audio & Buchla 258t (Dual Oscillator)
• Tiptop Audio & Buchla 266t (Source of Uncertainty)
• Tiptop Audio & Buchla 292t (Quad Lopass Gate)

RESONATORS | Rings | PolyMoog | Tiptop Audio | Haible by R*S


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"In this video, I'll try to explore the concept of resonators in electronic music. I am not sure I am correct here, but I guess the first official Resonator was from Serge, followed by the Resonators in the fist PolyMoog. Buchla may have closed the line with the 292 Spectral Processor, which is also a resonant array of filters. Resonant filters is what all these modules have in common. Jurgen Haible revisited the Moog resonator in the 21st century, and Emilie Gillet perfected it with the Rings module. TipTop Audio also made a faithful recreation of the Polymoog resonator quite recently.

My interest in resonators was ignited when I saw a 17 year old low-res video from Kenneth Elhardt running a Jupiter-8 through an isolated Moog resonator unit, turning clearly synthethic sounds in to very convincing voices, brass and woodwinds. I've used a few snippets (transformative / educational) and added a link to the original. Mr. Elhardt also has a few videos on his channel where he recreated 'medieval' music on a Synthesizer.com Moog clone which is an amazing listen and a hidden gem on the tube.

What I did not know, is that this video may have also inspired Haible and Tiptop Audio to recreate the resonator.

But wait. Rings? Yep. When not plucked and using the IN, you'll pass a sound through 48 digitally controlled 'virtual' filters. So don't pluck it. Resonate it."

How to Vocoder with the 296t


video upload by Stazma and Tiptop Audio

"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!!!"

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 ..."

Buchla Tiptop Audio 259t is it the best complex Vco?


video upload by VoxModula Archives

"Is the Buchla Tiptop Audio 259t the best complex Vco? I love it so much. I had the Endorphines Furthrrrr Generator before this one and I sold it to get the 259t, well of course I wanted to complete my system but I also think it has more of a vintage tone, it's definitely less modern to my ears, I don't really know how to explain. What do you think of it?"

Last Transmission Before Impact | Buchla Space Improvisation


video upload by VoxModula Archives

"This is what I imagined during this improvisation with my Buchla TTA system.
If you have any questions please let me know in the comments.

The fleet is gone.

Only fragments remain: damaged systems, drifting wreckage, fading radar signals, and distant echoes from a war no one remembers.

This Buchla improvisation explores the sounds of deep space through unstable oscillations, evolving textures, metallic resonances, electrical insects, and ghost frequencies emerging from the static.

A journey through silence, interference, and the machinery that continues long after its creators have disappeared.

No presets Just voltage 🚀

Math with The 257t


video upload by Stazma

"Today is Math 102 with the 257t.
Watch this if you use modules that output 0-5v and you want them to go to 10v, turn bipolar signals into unipolar ones, or if you want to learn some creative ways to mix them together to create more complex modulations.
A bunch of usefull tricks in there ;-)"

Recreating Pink Flyod's Iconic EMS Synthi AKS Sound | Voltage Labs


video upload by Voltage Labs

"In 1973, Pink Floyd released 'The Dark Side of the Moon', one of the most influential albums of all time. The track 'On the Run' is famous for its use of the Synthi AKS, a classic London-made analog synthesizer by EMS (Electronic Music Studios).

Today I’d like to show you how to recreate the iconic sequence of that track on an EMS Synthi A, then show how to program it on a Moog Mother-32, and finally how to patch it in a Eurorack system."

MARF as Switcher et al


video upload by Todd Barton

"Using the 248t MARF as a switcher via its external inputs from the 245t sequencer to create a 20 stage sequence. Then using the other part of the MARF for a 12 stage sequence. Some fun now!"

Buchla TTA 248T MARF | Quick Start 'Manual'.


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I think it's the first time I made a tutorial without actually using the module. I made two 'Building a MARF' videos where I'd use regular modules like Metropolix, Rene and Stages to mimic the workflow and it already had great music. My channel is educational and I love to make videos like this to learn the module instead of showing it off.

The 248T 'MARF' is a Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator, which translates to a freeform modular composer for melody, expression, and extremely complex movement over time. It's hard to find all that in a single module, so maybe this explains why the 248 is a panel.

If you don't aspire to own a budget Buchla from TTA, your closest equivalent is a Maths with Rene V2. If you have those, try to patch it up like a MARF and be amazed. Simply use cycles as clocks and use any X, Y or C channel for time intervals (to change cycle speeds). In my humble opinion, you shouldn't buy a 5K modular for making 16 step sawtooth sequences. It's about happy accidents and they don't happen if you stay on the path like a responsible musician."

Analog Anonymous | Episode 01


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"In this new series I want to focus on cool sounds without immediately revealing which modules are used. The principle is simple, if you don't like how a module sounds, change something until you do. Back in the 1970's, a Serge panel could do anything - and you'd need to figure out how. Just think of Maths versus a dedicated Envelope Generator or LFO. A swiss army knife versus a specialized screwdriver for a specific kind of screw. The module in this episode feels like one of those screwdrivers and my goal is to explore such a module until it becomes multi functional. It's often not about the gear, everything's been done before. It's about using your modular lego bricks and build something you'd have weeks or months of fun with.

Even though the series is called Analog Anonymous, inspired by the AA and solving bad habits, it can include both analog and digital gear. In this series, 'analog' means 'analogue to air pressure'. Whatever you're using, your ears are always analog. In modular synthesis, your patch is not intended to be sober. We need to be intoxicated by sound while being in the Zone. Very healthy, very Zen. I talk too much. Have fun!"
