The Galaxy Electric - Buchla Cosmic Drone - Session 9 - Modular Drone Music
Published on Jan 24, 2020 The Galaxy Electric
"Thanks for listening! Come on a musical voyage with us where we'll send you a new song every day, a cosmic story, and a chance to earn space treasure:
https://thegalaxyelectric.lpages.co/5...
Relax and tune into our live weekly improvised Drone Sessions. This 9th session involves a drone featuring two independent Buchla style complex and modulation oscillators starting in tune a couple octaves apart. As the oscillator frequencies drift apart by way of manual control, beating ensues. Listening to droning oscillators can serve as mindfulness sounds as there is no sudden changes in sound. Just smooth drifts in pitch and the resulting beat frequencies. Drones can also serve as an ambient track to have on while doing tasks that require intense focus. Drones are also great for a Sci-fi film soundtrack. The slow yet progressive nature of a drone performance can help one focus on tasks without distraction. The fact that we are manipulating these oscillators live and in collaboration helps the drone meander ever so smoothly in an evolving fashion as we are always reacting to one another's subtle movements. These movements are improvised so there is an unrehearsed and reactive ebb and flow to the tones generated.
The electronic music instruments used in this performance of modular drone music are the Buchla Music Easel, and a small system involving a Buchla clone model 259 Programmable Complex Waveform Generator, Buchla 292h Dual Lowpass Gate, and 281h Dual Function Generator in the Buchla LEM Powered 3 Boat.

"I took this in to a synthesizer technician and he did a complete overhaul on this a couple years back. Pictured, you'll notice the filter knob sits higher because the pole was replaced."

"The prophet-600 is a six-note polyphonic 61-key MIDI analog synthesizer released by SEQUENTIAL CURCUITS in 1982.
Although it is positioned as a cheap version of prophet-5, the tone is different.
The prophet-600 omits the noise generator and has a slightly smaller body than the prophet-5, making it more portable.
The configuration is 2VCO, 1VCF, 1VCA, 2EG. The tone memory has 100 programs.
If you select Unison mode, you can change from six-note polyphonic to monophonic. Glide works polyphonically.
The filter is made by Curtis.
Dimensions: 955 (W) × 110 (H) × 305 (D) mm
Weight: 9.5kg"

Vintage 1978 Multivox MX-75 / Pulser Dual Voice Synthesizer
Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"This is the Multivox MX-75 Dual Voice Synthesizer, also known as the Hillwood Pulser M75 Dual Voice Synthesizer.
Unlike other Multivox/Hillwood synths you never seem to see the rare MX-75 for sale.
The Hillwood Pulser was developed and built by Hillwood (aka Firstman) in Japan. These synths were then rebadged as Multivox and sold in America. This is a very early example: the Multivox name was on stickers placed over the Pulser name on the front and back; later examples had Multivox painted directly onto the case.
This synth has some scratches on the case but other than that is all-original and in 100% working condition. It sounds amazing."
