700 FM System x BOSS ME-50 – How Many People Still Use This Forgotten Classic?

video upload by Gm Xe

"The BOSS ME-50 is one of my favorite effects units — simple, expressive, and still inspiring after all these years.

In this setup, I combine the 700 FM System with the Buchla 208C in a four-voice configuration:

One voices from the 700 go straight into the Auratie (fully wet).

One more pass through the 208C’s LPG .

The 208C main output runs through the ME-50 to shape the core sound.

The other two voices pass through the Auratie

In this patch, I use the ME-50 for distortion, modulated pitch effects, and a spacious delay that blends with the Auratie

This is a cross-era collaboration: vintage guitar effects, FM synthesis, and West Coast analog character blending into one ambient/experimental performance."

700 System + Auratie: Now a Soundscape Generator

video upload by Gm Xe

"This is a fascinating setup: using Landscape and Evicshen as a resonator for the guitar, feeding the signal into Auratie via the 208, and modulating it with Auratie’s new self-feedback feature. The 700 sends out a low-frequency sound field, which is then AB-morphed using the 208’s LFO.

Put on your headphones and enjoy — hope you like it!"

700fm voice patch share# 3 sets 6voices

"Share 3 different sets about 700 Voice

1. **Stereo Setup with Percussion Sounds**: Set up dual-channel outputs for A and B, routed to the LPG. Use a 5-step global sequencer to trigger the envelopes, with oscillators 2 and 4 utilizing LFOs to modulate the pitch. This setup will create dynamic, evolving tonal changes for a richer sound experience.

2. **Bass Line Control with 250e**: Use the 250e to control the bass line pitch with oscillator 2 operating in green mode to correspond with oscillator 1. This creates an 8th-octave phaser effect. The B channel is mixed into channel A, while global pitch control is applied for additional flexibility in sound design.

3. **Fifth Interval Oscillator Setup**: Set up two separate A and B channels, each with oscillators tuned to a perfect fifth interval. The output from the fifth interval is routed to channel B and processed through a delay. Envelope control is used to create a legato effect during playback, and a small amount of external reverb is added for depth.

"In this video, a small system is created using the 700FM paired with the Auratie and Buchla 200, performing a demo. The Auratie is routed through the 292 to form a send-return effects chain."

Gm Xe Introduces AuraTie 4U Digital Effects Module

AuraTie 4U reverb vibrate delay Walk through video upload by Gm Xe

"The official announcement of the Auratie 4U stereo module.

AURATIE is a stereo digital effects module designed in Buchla voltage format, featuring dual-channel stereo output. It employs a Tini transfer switch that supports automatic switching between mono and stereo inputs. AURATIE aims to explore the extension of single tones into the stereo realm. It transforms simple sounds into expansive and reshaped experiences, making it particularly effective for designing drone soundscapes. The interaction between vibrate and delay creates unique feedback with different delays and frequency changes across the left and right channels. The reverb’s gritty design, combined with the vibrate interaction, allows for intriguing experimentation, enabling users to switch the positions of the two parts for further exploration."

"Hi, I have been a buchla fan for a long time, and I have always been curious about buchla 700. I immediately bought the id 700 when it was available, which is really a great app. However, I like hardware instruments with intuitive operation. Thanks to my good friend kweiwen, who wrote the initial code for me, I opened this mysterious instrument. After half a year of learning and development, I finally completed this module. Although there are still some improvements to be made, I am very happy, the sound is really good, I try to make myself comfortable with it, so the design is based on personal habits.

The main program is written in max/msp, using daisyseed to implement gen ~ code burning. buchla700 is a very complex instrument, although it cannot be perfectly reproduced, I think half of the core content is there."

"I apologize for the delay; the new images and information are still being prepared. The images feature three modules: on the left, the 3U modules include the 700 expansion and 700 voice, while the 1U module on the right is an effects module that will be introduced separately later. Thank you for your patience!

In the realm of synthesizers, the nearly forgotten classic Buchla 700 is celebrated for its unique sound design. We are thrilled to introduce our tribute module, showcasing a distinctive 700 FM Voice module powered by re-optimized algorithms. With its intuitive interface, you can dive in effortlessly, whether you’re crafting intricate soundscapes or vibrant melodies. This module is designed to inspire creativity and unlock endless possibilities.

This module is a monophonic sound source featuring four variable waveform oscillators and six specialized algorithmic index amplifiers, creating complex modulation patterns with twelve algorithms. Each oscillator and index group can be individually controlled via CV inputs, with dedicated CV attenuation for each. It provides a dual-path mix output for Group A/B, enabling CV morphing, along with a separate output for channel B. Both A and B channels offer independent wave shapes and drift modulation. Each oscillator supports wave morphing between sine, saw, and square waveforms, with the option to expand using an additional 12 control knobs. Two OLED displays showcase configuration algorithm graphics and a dual-channel oscilloscope. The DA output is 48 kHz/24-bit, with finely tuned oscillator algorithms. Outputs are carefully calibrated through analog amplification circuits, fully compatible with Buchla-format CV modulation, and support 1.2 V/oct and MIDI input.
