Buchla Program Manager Easel Card

video upload by Todd Barton

"Exciting news: BuchlaUSA just announced the Program Manager Card for the Easel and they asked me along with other Buchlaphiles to create a set of presets. Here is just one of my presets from my bank of 48. It works with both my BEMI Easel circa 2012 and my Easel Command. Enjoy!

BILL T MILLER, a chameleon of sonic exploration, is a multi-instrumentalist musician, composer, recording engineer, producer, filmmaker, photographer, artist, instrument builder and cat lover. From toy piano at two years old to starting a "band" with tennis racket guitar and trash can drums in the 60s to becoming a professional recording engineer / producer / live sound tech after graduating from College for the Recording Arts in San Francisco in 1976, his paths are always unfolding and looping. At recording college he took synthesizer courses with ARP 2600 and Emu synths and then worked (as live sound and recording engineer) in California until 1980.

Eventually ending up in Boston working as a freelance recording engineer and live sound engineer and then starting his own Headroom Recording Studios. While much of his "professional career" was devoted to recording and photographing OTHER artists, he was always working on his own weirdo music bands in the shadows. Some of these adventures include Out of Band Experience (OBE), Kings Of Feedback, Drum Army, Kings Of Slack, Zonkulator, and Orgy Of Noise with over 25 full album releases on his own DIY labels as an artist.

BTM's quest has looped back around to a nostalgic look forward incorporating ALL of the past adventures while moving sideways in time in to an unknown future think void. Living in Boston for 37 years and giving every moment to this insatiable desire to CREATE and SHARE is focus of his true path.

Buchla Tiptop 281t to Easel Command

video upload by Todd Barton

"One possible connection between the Buchla-Tiptop Audio 281t Quad Function Generator and the BuchaUSA 208c Easel Command using the UTL-1 Format Jumbler from Low-Gain. Clearly there are at least 10,000 more possibilities :-)"

Buchla 208c to Buchla Tiptop 281t 258t


"In my previous post used the Tiptop 281t to drive the 208c, this time I'm reversing the with the Buchla 208c pulser driving the 281t and different flavors of random voltages going to the 258t oscillators. Enjoy!"

"Of course I had to do a Krell Patch. And yes, I realize I went out of bounds by using two other modules, the Makenoise Mimeophon and the Intellijel Planar 2. That said, I hope you enjoy this step-by-step construction of the patch. Below are more links to info about the Easel Command, some links to the other modules and finally a set of links to some interesting Krell patch Resources and cool videos by some of my good friends.
