An Interview with Bernie Krause on Astronauta Pinguim

"Since I do not see too well, my world is mostly informed by sound. So naturally, as a young child I gravitated to music studying violin and composition. When I became a teenager, I switched to guitar (when the hormones kicked in) because… well, you know. When I was in my 25th year I joined a very famous American folk group called The Weavers. After they broke up in early 1964, I moved to California from New York, and began to study electronic music at Mills College in Oakland, which was the leading institution for experimental techniques at the time. While there, I met Paul Beaver, who became my music partner, and together we helped introduce the Moog synthesizer to pop music and film on the West Coast and in the UK."

Todd Barton on the Buchla and Sound Synthesis

via groundloop where you'll find the full interview.

"How did you discover the Buchla?

My first encounter was with a Buchla Music Easel that my friend, Doug Leedy
handed me and let me just explore it for a few days back in the mid-1970’s.
At that time I had no idea what I was doing…just plugging in patch cords and
twisting knobs hoping to get a sound. Eventually sounds came. I was smitten
with the ability to alter timbres and create sounds from scratch.

Since I couldn’t afford a Music Easel I instead saved up and got a lovely three
panel Serge from Serge Tcherepnin in the Haight Ashbury in 1979. Still not

knowing much about synthesis I also got Allen Strange’s book, Electronic Music:
Systems, Techniques and Controls. Parts of that book helped but mainly I began
patching 4-8 hours a day.

It wasn’t until 2004 that, having a steady job as Resident Composer at the
Oregon Shakespeare Festival since 1969, I was able to save enough to finally
get a Buchla 200e system. Since then I have spent as much time as possible
plumbing its endless depths."

"Up for auction is the mighty Korg Mono/Poly. You probably know all about it so let's talk about this particular unit:
It is a european version (220v) and one of the latest model (you can tell by the PCB revision).
The unit is in very good cosmetical condition. The wooden side, which are the weak point of the beast, are here in a rather good condition (though there are some scuff on the corners). The only real esthetic flaw are the two wheel intensity knobs that are not original ones.
Electronically it is working perfectly. I have serviced and calibrated it. The filtre chipset (SSM2044) and main cpu (D8049c) are new.

And also I did some modification that improve the MonoPoly a lot:
- MG1 normal/fast speeds switch: add a fast speed mode for MG1. This allows for more metalic and FMish sound when used in FX, VCF modulation or PWM.

- VCF EG speed switch: add a fast speed mode for the VCF enveloppe. It make the enveloppe and synth snappier.
- VCA EG speed switch : same as above but applies to the VCA
- Disable the reset of the keyboard algorithm when switching in FX-Mode
- Disable the reset of MG2 when playing a new chord in arpeggiator mode"
