"This video is shot at a more revealing angle than usual, to document the setup before we change it. When we added an EML 400/401 to our EML 200, we made custom shelves to line the three panels up on a table. But we got a great deal on a second EML 200 during the pandemic, so that got installed on a metal shelf over the first EML 200. The studio kept growing over the years, with lots of revisions on how it is all arranged, but the EML 400/401 hasn’t moved an inch. I never liked this hockey stick configuration and have always felt the EML 400/401 is a bit underutilized. This summer we’ve decided to move the 400 above the 401, creating a big EML block, so that the 400 is closer to the 200s, to the Buchla system, and so it’s easier to reach everything at once.

Anyways, the point of this patch was to use V1 on the right set of stages to reset the left set of stages. It’s a fun trick because you can control when and how often you want to reset the sequence using the sliders. The TR-909 is externally clocked by ALM Pamela’s New Workout at 130bpm. The kick and rim shot are saturated by the Dukane 2a76. The snare sound is the Simmons SDS1, triggered by the rim shot trigger output on the 909. The EML 401 filter is in high pass mode. At 0:43 I drop the kick, unmute the clap and hats, and turn off the voltage control of the envelope, which makes it sound like a goose. At 1:13 I change the TR-909 pattern and switch the routing of the lower voltages on the 400, from V4 to V3 and from V3 to V4."

early tests with Buchla Lightning + Max; once again, using a Buchla controller as a way of testing different parametric linkages / interaction strategies for what i hope will eventually become a standalone instrument. in this case, lightning is sending several position-related CCs to Max, which is running several simultaneous [gen~] patches. these patches were originally developed for several daisy-based modules i designed, namely:

2x Impulse Generator (a pulsar synthesis-based oscillator and nonlinear distortion feedback device)
1x Retention Mechanism (a granular sampler / multitap delay / pitch shifter)
1x Temporal Drag Processor (a multitap delay / resonator)

i only recently acquired the Lightning; here, i'm using it with the rings from a Buchla 222e Multidimensional Kinesthetic Input Port. the use here is quite basic, relying mostly on the Lightning "Ear's to MAX" factory configuration. no doubt i'll keep exploring more unusual ways to use it in the future

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 🚀

"We recently acquired these two consecutively cute curiosities courtesy of a very inspiring and equally interesting gentleman and great friend of the late Don Buchla. When I brought them back to the shop, naturally I plugged the 101 in and attempted to get proper scaling and triggering sound out of it for 45 minutes, watching videos reading pointers etc. Finally I tried turning the 5 pin keyboard plug around, and then I lost 4 hours in seemingly 10 minutes. I was floored. I didn’t hook up the 200. The next day I delivered these to my friend and tech in Santa Ana. Within a week he had checked them out , addressed any issues and found them to be fully functional and in great working condition. So I picked them up and was really excited to try the 200. Got back to Fullerton and plugged it in with a mf-104 tailing into an early cooper cs-106+ and went to heaven. The spring sounded like the grampian, the preamp is also in that vein, dual ring modulators are very special. In particular as a studio piece the stereo functionality takes this to another level, signal processing to use while mixing or effecting tracks Is very much more than 1/2 the value with the 200. Awesome machines."

"This week has been full of challenges, but so far we’ve kept our wits about us as we survive them all.

We may still not have any clearer path to our studio being set-up, but that will never stop us from making a fresh patch on the Buchla and carrying on!

2. GForce Prophet 5 vs the Hardware - Starsky Carr

I put the GForce Prophet 5 VST head-to-head against my real Sequential Prophet 5 hardware — testing filters, oscillators, envelopes, LFOs, vintage mode, FM, sync, unison, and more — to find out just how close it really gets.

The GForce Prophet 5 is the ONLY Prophet 5 software officially endorsed by Sequential, making it the only plugin that can legally call itself the Prophet 5. But does the endorsement mean anything sonically? After hours of clinical testing with spectrum analysis, oscilloscopes, and direct A/B comparisons, the results genuinely surprised me.

In this video:
Rev 1 vs Rev 2 vs Rev 3 filter comparison (SSI vs CEM — hear the -difference)
Oscillator shapes: sawtooth, square, triangle side-by-side
Pulse width modulation & LFO speed accuracy
FM / oscillator sync behaviour (I did find a minor difference here)
Polymod and audio-rate filter modulation
Unison & Vintage mode — does the voice-to-voice character match?
Low frequency oscillator mode
X-Mod section: LFOs and envelopes on everything
Built-in effects: chorus, phaser, distortion, multi-mode filter, delay, reverb
CPU load test: 10 simultaneous instances vs Ozone on the master bus

The verdict? The differences I found are no greater than you'd hear between two hardware Prophet 5s. If you don't own the hardware and aren't doing a clinical A/B, you will not notice them.

The GForce Prophet 5 is also remarkably CPU efficient — 10 instances use less CPU than a single Ozone instance. It adds two layers, up to 10-voice polyphony, full CC modulation, and an X-Mod section that turns a classic polysynth into something far more powerful."

Variations on a theme by Ciani: Voltage sculpting with Buchla's most powerful module

video upload by Electrum Modular

"Introduced in the mid-1970s, the Buchla MARF (Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator) remains one of the most powerful, and also one of the rarest, modules ever made. It was part sequencer, part envelope generator, part voltage sculptor. It programmed up to 16 stages of arbitrary voltage shapes, each with its own time, level, contour, and behavioral flags. Using Claude, I have designed a simplified (but also, in some ways, enhanced) 8-stage version for the Disting NT called MiniMARFA. This video demonstrates it through two patches including Suzanne Ciani's Prism Melody (with a Buchla Easel).

BUCHLA 36 (Brutal dark IDM modular synth performance)

video upload by Kevin Rix

"Delve into the dark weirdness of the Buchla 200e. Easily the most interesting instrument I own. It challenges the user to explore new ways to express music and sound. The drums are created by self resonating the 291e triple filter module. Over the summer I explored more complex patching. All the random stereo ripping sounds are from a cross modded 258 classic into the bottom section of the 296 classic. The first batch created a fm like noise when opening the wide knob. Buchla USA recalled the first batch for a cleaner circuit, but I decided to keep it:) I'll be releasing many of these explorations over the next few months.

I'm planning to upload on a regular basis. This world we live in is becoming increasingly more complicated and is about to see a huge shift with the arrival of AI. I want this channel to showcase raw performances and celebrate the human aspect of art and music.

This is an anti-AI channel. Everything is composed and performed by me with no editing. Just raw performances created in the moment. My musical interests take my into strange and unpredictable areas. At the core, I'm a composer of epic cinematic music. Fortunately, it's what I do for work. The music on this channel represents the other curiosities I have with music and sound. AI just spits out sound a likes and has no real soul. I'm not trying to appeal to those who prefer AI playlists. In my opinion, those people are not true fans of music and art. AI isn't affected by culture, community and what's happening in the world, so it can never make a true artistic statement. "

Buchla Sparkle | Music Easel

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Buchla Modular Synth Sample Pack
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

An inquiry into timbre shaped by the circuitry of a singular electronic instrument
A system built for exploration
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.

This sample pack carries that spirit forward through recordings made with the Buchla Music Easel Modern. It offers a survey of sonic behavior, inviting listeners to study the subtle warmth that emerges when complex oscillators interact. It highlights the characteristic percussive transients of low pass gates. It captures broadband noise shaped by minute spectral movements. It presents drones formed by slow feedback interactions and microscopic frequency shifts. The goal is to provide raw material for creators who wish to work closely with the textures that define this family of instruments."

Moog Muse Moog Grandmother and Buchla Tiptop Audio improvisation

video upload by VoxModula Archives

"Today I had fun with the Moog Muse Moog Grandmother and Buchla Tiptop Audio improvisation. It had been quite a while since I last powered up the Buchla modular. Today I turned it on and simply modulated the timbre of one of the 259t's VCOs, which I used as a rhythmic foundation. Then I found a patch on the Grandmother and another on the Muse, and everything seemed to work together, so I ended up doing this short improvised jam, recorded directly as it was.

If you have any questions, I’ll be happy to answer them. I hope you enjoy these four minutes of analog sounds.

The MooggGrandmother and the Buchla go both into the Strimon El Capistan, the Moog Muse into the Flamma FS02, a very great sounding budget friendly pedal."
