Buchla 700

Shot of the Buchla 700 of the Audities Collection. Sent to me from rick, echo7even. Thanks rick!

Update: More on the Buchla 700



Snip from More on the Buchla 700:

"THE 700'S ARCHITECTURE includes four dedicated computers, each of a different nature, and each optimized to its particular function. The nerve center of the instrument is a general purpose digital computer. Responsible for user communication, data processing, and supervisory control, this "host" computer can be programmed to accommodate varied musical needs.

A second computer "massages" incoming data. It directs conversion of analog voltages into digital form, discards redundant information, and transmits essential data to the host computer.

Receiving instructions and data from the host, a third computer (called the multiple arbitrary function generator) directs the instantaneous progress of 190 acoustic variables, each with a time resolution of 1/2000 of a second. This facility enables specification of complex sonic detail and extends the possibilities for expressive control.

A fourth computer, essentially a pipelined digital signal processor (DSP), is responsible for producing the 700's twelve voices. Built into this computer are unusually powerful algorithms for sound generation, including frequency modulation, waveshape interpolation, and timbre modulation (unique to the Buchla, this technique significantly augments the electronic vocabulary."

A Nifty Keytar and the Packrat on Halloween

David C. Lovelace, creator of the Packrat just posted a comment on my wench post. He will be dressing up and donning this wicked beast of a keytar for Halloween tonight, a Korg RK100. Sweet!

Seiko DS-250

I was poking around the Packrat's Dave's Music site and stumbled onto this. Intersting piece. Title link takes you to Dave's story on this including a sample.

All bow to our Wench : )

Hey, she named the shot, not me. : ) The lovely Cikira. If you do not know who Cikira is you've been living in a cave, or... just check out her site. : ) She also runs SynthSights. We all bow to Cikira if we know what's good for us.

Title link takes you to a bigger shot. I see an XTk. : )


BTW, if you have any Halloween shots you want to share with of course, synths, send them my way, or feel free to put them up on SYNTHWIRE.
