Buchla Tiptop 264T | ART protocol hacking with XAOC Drezno
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"According to Gur from TTA this was unlikely to work, but 'unlikely' is not impossible. The ART protocol is something like analog encoded digital data used to be transferred over regular patch cables. It carries information that can be used to play quantized notes on an ART capable VCO like the 259t (and obviously the ART series from TTA). I tried using XAOC Drezno to convert the ART signal to bits, and then scramble a few before recoding it back to analog. This is just an experiment and it was a bit too much off-topic for episode 14. It would also make the video too long and nobody's watching the end of long videos anymore. It makes me wonder if this could also work on MIDI data, but that's for another day."

He introduces us to the features of the DMS (Digital MIDI Sequencer), a supercharged evolution of the Digisequencer. Michel Geiss provides the historical background, and NR Synth provides its fabulous Solo, a recreation of the Oberheim SEM.

Pics of the inside below.
You can find a few demos of a Percuter in previous posts here.
"The Dynacord Percuter is a simple drum module that lets you trigger 8 sounds with pads or sequencer.
Very basic features, only a pan and sensitivity control for each channel, as well as independant outputs, and a master stereo output and headphones outputs. There is a cool global pitch control though.
And of course the real nice feature is the ability to change cartridges and thus change sounds as you like. They were many cartridges made and their sound quality is extremely good, in the league of the Linn Drum, Oberheim DMX and such, if not better.
Unit was cleaned and checked and It's fully working and response well to trigger pulses.
8 cartridges are included and they build a full drum kit (a ride or crash could be nice though)
- 111001 Electrified Bass 2
- 111020 Natural Snare 8"
- 111002 Electrified Snare 2
- 111004 Electrified Tom 1
- 111005 Electrified Tom 2
- 111006 Electrified Tom 3
- 111047 Accent Hi Hats Cymbal
- 111048 Closing Hi Hats Cymbal
Please note that P20 and Percuter sound roms are the same (nature snare for instance) they are totally different sounds. The Percuter sounds are 8 bits and the P20 are 16 bits I think. Samples are brighter and longer."

"This nostalgic drum machine is for sale due to studio downsizing. Probably one of the first .
One example is said to be in the German museum.
It is fully functional and still looks quite fresh.
A piece of plastic is missing from 2 gray toggle switches at the front.
All the capacitors have been replaced so that it runs without any background noise.
Very organic, powerful sound, produced by coils and germanium transistors, among other things.
230V
Width: 60 cm, depth: 28 cm Height: 9 cm"
