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!

Follow the Sound I

"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"

"A rather sloppy performance (still barely learning where all the sound triggers are) but hopefully might offer some food for thought and programming."

The Origins of the Krell Ambient Generative Synthesizer Patch // Todd Barton at Buchla & Friends

video upload by DivKid

"Join us at Buchla & Friends with the wonderful person that is TODD BARTON! Inspired by the work of Bebe and Louis Barron on the soundtrack to the 1950s film Forbidden Planet, Todd Barton created the classic Krell patch. A generative, ambient patch for modular synthesizers where random voltages influence (at it's most basic) the time, pitch and shape of your notes. We discuss the origins of Krell, the basics of the patch and how to expand it.

The 2026 Buchla & Friends event is happening January 24th-25th, be there, it'll be ace. Info below."

Long Slow Pulsating Gliss

video upload by Todd Barton

"Long Slow Gnarly Pulsating Glissando. This gliss take 4 minute to complete its upward journey. This is accomplished by sending 5v from the Offset of a 256 to the Attack CV input on a 281 Function Generator. This experiment was: send the same CV from the 281 to pitch of both oscillators of a 259 and also to Timber of the Principal and also to Mod Index. The dry signal is going to one channel of the 207 a copy of that is going to a 277r delay with some feedback then onto another channel of the 207. Enjoy!

Tiptop Audio 230t & a Simmons Pad - First Patch [No Talk]

video upload by Stazma

"More infos and affiliate links in the description // Support on Patreon to get samples from this session: / stazma

This was the very first patch I did when I got the 230t from Tiptop. I wanted to check if I could use my Simmons drum pads with it. I also wanted to know how it would behave as an envelope generator using pulses from the 200t system itself so I used the 245t to trigger it and act on a droning 259t.

Then I just played around and that's the result."
