Buchla 296e - Audio Extraterrestrial DNA


Published on Nov 13, 2014 djangosfire

"A fast and furious patch trying out a new Buchla 296e Spectral Processor.

A single square wave from a DIY 144 clone, patched into the 296e. Then I patched a 261e audio rate LFO into the "morph" of the 296e.

Patched the "all" out from the 296e into a 292e LPG.

By manually adjusting the frequency of the 261e (very slight bit).... I was able to coax these tones - and a visual light show as a bonus :)

Hope to get some good audio quality recordings over the next few weeks..... but for now, wanted to share this patch.

Cheers, Djangosfire

That's it!"

"buchla style 296 programmable spectral processor , one knob missing, it was functional in a buchla system but unfortunately i don't have a system to test it now, one knob broke when we took it out of the system but its an easy . some people say that it sounds better than the original because the original produces a lot of hiss maybe true maybe not but still its a great module and since the cost for an original buchla 296 is about 19000$ if you are lucky to find one , well this is a bargain. there you have it buchlas version of a vocoder."

SoundForce SFC-60 - Hardware Controller for TAL U-NO-LX


Published on Nov 10, 2014 SoundForce

"A short demo of the controls of the SFC-60 with the TAL U-NO-LX plugin. More info on the SFC-60 : http://sound-force.nl/controllers/sfc.... Check the fantastic TAL plugins at http://kunz.corrupt.ch/Products"

"The SFC-60 is a boutique MIDI controller for the TAL U-NO-LX plugin, an excellent model of the Roland® JUNO-60*. The sound and touch of the legendary synthetizer are available right into your DAW. Analog sound and workflow are combined with the ease of the digital world. Interact like never before with more than 35 controls. And, as the SFC-60 is a class-compliant MIDI device, it can be used not only with the TAL U-NO-LX but any other MIDI-mappable software instrument.

Unlike usual MIDI controllers the SFC-60 is not industrially manufactured but hand-made. The product is available as DIY-kit or fully-assembled. Soldering your controller yourself is a cheaper option and a fun project. An extensive guide and collection of learning resources are available to assist you during assembly."

ARP 2600 Synthesiser plus manual, cables & ARP 3604-P Keyboard

"The 2600 brain and 3604-P keyboard were recently repaired and serviced to bring it up to spec by Andy Jury at Synthprof, and are still covered by their service warranty until the 1st January 2015."

"As you can see it packs down into two protective cases and comes with the original 2600 manual, recet repair receipts, service history dating back to 2011, mains cable, interface cable (keyboard to brain) and a large collection of patch cables.

It is in fantastic condition for it's age and though it is not perfect cosmetically (various nicks in the tolex, a modification to the side of the case where the mains socket has been replaced/updated and two small melt marks on two keys of the 3604-P) none of these hamper its performance in any way and are very minor when taking into account the vintage nature of this instrument.

The serial number is 2601-0*5*.

Here is some information about this model:


Based on the serial number it is most likely from 1976 and is a grey decal model 2601 v.1 with the larger front panel and improved jacks & sliders, but still has the disputed 4102 Moog style filter.

It was followed in 1977 by the models with the orange decals and a different filter which most people don't like (and believe has a design fault). 
The general consensus is that this is the best model to have apart, possibly, from the very early ones. 

From Vintage Synth Explorer: 
"The first 2601 models looked nearly identical to the last 2600P models. 
The major differences were improved jacks and slider controls and smaller trim holes. They were also still using the disputed 4012 filters during their production run from 1975-76."
