Vintage Buchla at University of Victoria, BC Canada

This one in via Grant


"This device, in the pics (Al from BB), cost UVic $100,000 to build or procure (not sure how it got there) but it’s in the UVic school of music control room."

Update: Grant wrote back to say the $100k was guess, and according to Rick in the comments it didn't cost that much. You do have to wonder how much this system would go for.

Update via sealion in the comments: "I borrowed this for a music be-in performance a few years ago which we did to mark the death of Bob Moog. It is one of three such units bought at Don Buchla's famous garage sale when he moved his production in San Francisco. UVIC music prof and Tibetan chanting aficionado Martin Bartlett drove down in his VW microbus and bought three units from Don, that one, one for SFU and I believe a missing third one. It is still in use today. Cost may have been about $6,000 (total guess) and I know a decade ago a standing offer of $20,000 from a dealer in LA was regularly turned down. A technician said due to age tuning was an issue for some. I bought the surplus cv/trig op-8 to dcb to a midi box setup that they used with it long ago.
At that time the department was doing a lot of Electronotes building, serge kits, biofeedback as cv and trigger experiments. Back then I attended a performance in the Department of David Rosenbloom's pathbreaking On Being Invisible performance which involved handmade circuit boards controlled by an IMSAI kit made thing called a computer, programmed using toggle switches for each line of code. It read output from body sensors that monitored his brainwaves, pulse and muscle's electrical activity. He sat Buddha yoga style and barely moved to control the performance. The last time I saw Martin before his death was at a stoplight. I looked over and saw him leaning back from his VW wheel jaw and mouth shaped to do that deep Tibetan bass note drone with overtones thing he left electronics for, at the light by Mayfair and Denny's."

Update via Rick: "i restored this system in 2010.. its fully functional now and sounds wonderful"

"ESTRADIN-230 is a Soviet Minimoog equivalent.
If you are familiar with Soviet synths you might know that ESTRADIN-230 has absolutely identical schematics (all 6 PCBs) with ALTAIR-231.

ESTRADIN-230 is powerful monophonic 3-OSC synthesizer produced by Elektroizmeritel, millitary radio plant in Zhitomir, USSR, 1984. Synth has 4-octave keyboard (F-C) with velocity (sensitivity assign to vibrato effect). For live performance there is a wheel which provides pitch shift. ESTRADIN 230 is based on 3-VCO (OSC-3 can work as the modulator), 1 VCF (lowpass 24dB/oct) with ADSR, 1 VCA, 3 LFO, noise generator (white/pink), glide, memory. It has an EXTERNAL INPUT allowing to use FILTER and GENERATORS with OTHER INSTRUMENTS such as guitars, synths, etc! ESTRADIN-230 consists of 5 main sections - OSC, MIXER, MODULATION, FILTER and AMP."
