"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."

The Buchla Music Easel Aux Card v2

video upload by Stromkult

"The beloved Auxiliary Oscillator Card for the Buchla Music Easel is back — redesigned, more affordable, and more powerful than ever.

This expansion brings a whole new dimension to your Easel by adding a digital oscillator that covers everything from slow modulation rates all the way up to audio frequencies. Alongside it, you’ll find a dedicated noise source with its own filter, giving you instant access to textures ranging from subtle grit to full-spectrum noise.
To shape your sound even further, the card includes CV control over the balance between oscillator and noise, making it easy to create evolving timbres and dynamic modulation. A set of intuitive switches provides quick routing options. On top of that, the redesigned card introduces a CV Multiplier allowing to merge two control voltages. And with full compatibility across all Music Easels and Easel Commands produced after 2012, it integrates seamlessly into both modern and retro systems."

"Aaux card for the Buchla 208 / Music easel.

It's a 16 step envelope trigger module which offers drum computer like step input for two different Envelope outputs. Here a brief description:

- 16 three way switches, up selects output 1, down selects output 2

- Output is a simple envelope with only decay with a potentiometer and a CV input

- Length can be set to 16 steps or 8 steps, in which case it's basically a dual 8 step envelope trigger

- Sync input for syncing the Buchla 208 pulser to an external sync source

All in all a very straight forward card to use, but still a very complex card to build consisting of a 4 layer PCB behind de frontpanel, a 2 layer main pcb and a backpanel, sandwiched together. The 4 layer pcb and the 2 layer main pcb are connected via a total of 28 pins divided over 6 connectors."

BAF 2025: Buchla AUX Oscillator Card for Easel Series

video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2025, we caught up with Nick from Buchla*, where he introduced us to the new *AUX Oscillator Card for the Easel series. This digital auxiliary oscillator card is designed to integrate with the 208 C revision of the Buchla 208 voice, featured on the modern and retro Easel editions, as well as the Easel Command.

The AUX Oscillator Card offers a host of features, including a CV multiplier for tenfold voltage utility, a random pulse input, and a noise generator. It allows for three-operator frequency modulation by supplying an additional oscillator. Nick explained that while it's a digital oscillator, the voltages interacting within the system remain analog. The card also supports a card doubler, enabling simultaneous use of the AUX Oscillator Card with other cards."

Elta Music Solar 42F - When the Ocean Comes to Swallow Us Whole

video upload by Thomas Carli

"Demo of a drone jam I put together on the Solar 42F. Nothing serious, but illustrates that while billed as an Ambient machine, can definitely venture into seriously dark territory. Hands down my favorite synth of 2024 and quite possibly the evil doppleganger of the Buchla Music Easel. No external effects used. Internal Infinity FX card on the Solar 42F the only effects featured. This drone uses the Hold function of several of the Solar 42F's Voices, the Arpeggiator on Voice 4, and manual control of Voice 6, as well as using LFO A to create additional modulation of the voice. Enjoy!"
