New Buchla Build a Boat Website



On the Buchla website here. It's a pretty cool interface. Might be buggy though. I tested out the 4 slot 201e-4 Powered Boat and after adding four modules the price was still $799 - the modules were apparently free. :)

"THE solution to all your problems. If you are looking for one filter to rule them all this is the one for you. Definitely a staff favorite here at Perfect Circuit :)

Features

121 different filter modes (27 low pass, 18 high pass, 13 band pass, 63 all pass/notch/phaser settings).
Super warm, crystal clear and very musical sound with a lot of saturation possible.
Input drive-led and output clip-led!
Total remote control of all filter types via control voltage.
4x simultaneous true ring modulation effects (filter tap output x -1/+1 rectangle extraction).
3 new (and never seen before) parameters: emphasis, 2nd harmonic distortion and drop make this filter absolutely unique.
13 cv inputs for filter mode/cutoff frequency/resonance-emphasis/2nd harmonic distortion means lots of control.
2 audio inputs with +20 db gain boost and phase reverse."

"Warm, classic sound combined with a modern feature set, built into a low-profile, high-quality 10HP Eurorack module.

Simultaneous, AC-Coupled Low, High, Band and All-Pass Outputs. Wide-ranging Frequency Cutoff and Resonance to self-oscillation.

Feedback Insert for 'stacked' filter types and wild sonic manipulation. Full CV control, on-board Attenuation and dedicated

1V Oct Input. Dedicated Attenuation and Gain of both Audio and Feedback Inputs. Lush pads, tearing leads, deep filter kicks, sound design and more.

The ADE-20 brings classic character to the modern modular.

Features

Controls (Knobs: Left, T-B): Audio In Gain/Atten; Cutoff Freq; Freq CV
Controls (Knobs: Right, T-B): Feedback In Gain/Atten; Res Level; Res CV
Inputs (Audio): 2x AC, Approx. +/-10V Max. (3.5mm)
Inputs (CV): 3x AC/DC, Approx. +/-10V Max. (3.5mm)
Outputs (Audio): 4x AC: Low, High, Band, All Pass (3.5mm)"

Abstract Data ADE-10 Reactive Shaper Module

"The Reactive Shaper can process audio signals and control voltages and consists of three different stages which are set in series. Each section has an individual control and an attenuated CV input. All inputs are DC-coupled i.e. they accept slow CVs.

Stage 1 is a subtle wave shaper producing sounds between PWM and phasing. Nice for adding that PWM touch to waves which can´t be pulse modulated.

Stage 2 is more aggressive as it contains a wave folder which will clip the signal and fold back the clipped part back into the signal. this will "square up" your signal and add harmonics.

Stage 3 is a feedback circuit which will add more and more of output signal to it´s input the more you turn up the level.

As the three stages are set in series stage 1 will affect the behaviour of stage 2 etc. You can use a combination of the stages or use each separately. The ADE-10 works bst with symmetrical non-square signals like sine wave, triangle or sawtooth/ramp.

In addition the module has potentiometers for controlling input and output levels witth a gain or attenuation of 50dB.

Features

1 signal input, DC-coupled, maximal input level +/-10V
3 CV inputs, DC-coupled, max. input level +/-10V
1x DC- full-wave, will pass the entire signal i.e it´s is bipolar
1x DC half-wave, will let through only the positive part of the signal"

Manhattan Analog MA35 VCF & VCA Module

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

"The MA35 is an internally-coupled VCF and VCA based largely on the back end of the legendary Korg MS-10. The VCF section is based on the classic Korg35 filter architecture, implemented using discrete transistors rather than the original (and impossible to find) proprietary ICs. It is switchable between Lowpass and Highpass modes of operation, which can either be done manually using the toggle switch or with CV via the "mode" jack. There is also a two-channel audio mixer built in to the input. Modular-level signals will overdrive the inputs as you pass ~12:00 on the dial - stay below this threshold for a smooth, liquid sound or push past it for fuzzy screaming mayhem! The VCA section is based on the MS-10's 'single-transistor' design, which adds distinct color to the sound and is an important part of capturing the spirit of the original.

Care has been taken in the selection of period transistors and opamp chips to keep the character of the sound as authentic as possible. This is not a hi-fi module! It's a little raw and a little noisy - in all of the very best ways.

The MA35 is fully protected from reverse power connection. The proper orientation of the ribbon cable is indicated on the top copper layer of the pcb, just below the power header."

Manhattan Analog Mutinator Trigger Combiner Module

"The Mutinator is a “human interface module” and can best be described as a multi-channel switched trigger combiner. It features 4 parallel channels, each with two switched inputs and a single output. Within each channel the inputs are combined using analog OR logic and sent to the output, whose activity is indicated by an LED. The operation of the switches is ON-OFF-(ON). In the ON position the corresponding input's signal passes to the combiner. In the OFF setting, that input is muted. The (ON) setting is known as ‘momentary-on’ - In this position the signal will pass to the output, but the switch will return to the OFF posision as soon as you release the switch lever. This allows you to more easily ‘play’ the switches in a performance situation.

Unlike some other trigger-combiner designs, this module contains active circuitry. Incoming pulses are reduced in amplitude by the logic section but an output amplifier compensates for this. In addition, the level of the incoming pulses is limited to protect the module. This means you can run any positive-voltage trigger or gate source in your studio into the inputs without fear of causing damage to the module. This limiter also prevents the Mutinator from producing an output voltage above ~10.2v, which makes the outputs safe for any other modules in your Eurorack modular synthesizer.

Please note that this module is designed to pass trigger and gate information only. It does not faithfully preserve the level of the input signal nor will it pass any voltage below 0v. It will not perform as expected with audio or bipolar control voltage signals."

Before I Don't Have Anything Left - Studio Electronics Boomstar 5089 by Drew Neumann
Published on Feb 13, 2013

"The very first Boomstar 5089 production unit demo here, or to parrot my favorite hackneyed "Beltway" phrase: "that's out there." 100% natural, except for the third arm. Amazing that this box can make (of all things) FM sounds - listen for 'em @ 00:00:34:17.

Filter title sequence corrected.

An alternative audio take for your unfiltered listening pleasure? Why not.
