Buchla - Three Layers to Ponder

YouTube Published on Aug 18, 2012 by djangosfire

"Buchla one take improv using 3x patch layers.

The 112 Touch Controlled Voltage Source is being used to both transpose the 5-note mini sequence, as well as the delay feedback amount. So you'll notice differnt levels of synced delay feedback as I play different keys - many of which are tuned to unison pitches . . . and not in perfect tune - this allows for creepy, slight doppler shift note repeats."

Mungo State Zero French Horn

"John from Mungo Enterprises demonstrates a brass patch on the State Zero polyphonic modular. By coincidence someone was rehearsing on a french horn in another room which served as an ideal reference."

Early DIY Synthesizer

This one is from the Museum of Making Music according to the flickr set this came from. If anyone has more info on it feel free to comment.

Update: some additional info in via Suit & Tie Guy who checked on a Hamtech list. Here's what he got back from a couple of people: "That is Don Lewis' LEO (Live Electronic Orchestra). AFAIK, it still is at the NAMM Museum. Lewis gigged with it regularly in the day. Great organ player. Never heard him play it, but he probably played the snot out of it. Don't know if he recorded with it. Very little of it is X-66. Those are Concord drawbars and other parts, plus lots of stuff from ARP and Roland and more. This is a fairly well known instrument, so I'm disappointed to see that no one could do research."

And:

"It is still there, he had a little gig a couple of years ago to celebrate its 30th and Hammond's 70th (if I remember the occasion correctly). And he most certainly recorded! You can buy it on iTunes or from Don's web site.

Don and my grandma were two peas in a pod, they put on seminars here in Denver for teachers over the years. I was honored to have gotten a nice note from Don after she passed. He's a wonderful guy. And a heckuva engineer!"
