Buchla Music Easel - Jumbo Jumble


Published on Jan 26, 2020 Jae Ryan

"Here's another little sloppy easel jam that makes use of the preset voltages to play pitches separately from the keyboard.

I patched the Easel's sequencer out to my format jumbler and used that to control the "mix" level of the Chase Bliss Dark World's spring reverb/mod algo. I also patched one of the random outs & used that to control the 'layers' knob on Blooper (layers of a previously recorded loop) but this part doesn't come in until the mellow part at the end, which in hindsight is a little annoying.......

It's really hard to get away from using the Easel as a "performance" instrument. I wish I could, but I can't!
I recorded in mono again but ran the track through an amp sim & into Soundtoy's Little Plate for some stereo ambience."

Buchla Music Easel - A Tree in the Backyard is Missing


Published on Jan 24, 2020 Jae Ryan

"A slow ambient piece on the Easel. The Easel runs through my Chase Bliss pedal board as usual with Darkworld providing reverb/degradation, MOOD providing a little granular bit (being sequenced by the easel) that also runs through the MOOD's reverb & a little loop from Blooper that comes in much later.

Since the pedal chain is mono, I decided to also mic up my room (in stereo) with my zoom recorder to add a little width and depth. I chose a location that was bright and lacking bass so that the stereo to mono collapse would be a little less drastic and I think it worked out great,

If you do take the time to listen, I'd like to apologize in advance for the parts that get somewhat harsh and also for the terrible camera placement since my arm is in the way for half the performance!"

Buchla Music Easel - -BERATION


Published on Jan 18, 2020 Jae Ryan

"I recently traded my Shared System for a BUSA Music Easel. So far, no regrets. I always seem to go through really strong phases of missing the Easel whenever I part with it and hopefully this one means it doesn't have to happen again. I never thought I would part with my Shared System but it's been nice having my studio fully convert to bananas :P

This isn't a fully structured piece or anything but I had some ideas of where I wanted the patch to go before I tear it down. I just wanted to record a little snippet for Instagram but since my camera was near by and charged, I decided to set it up and share here :)

The drone in the beginning is a little loop I recorded previously into the Chase Bliss Blooper and the Chase Bliss MOOD is doing a little granular shimmer thing and a bit of delay. This all gets drowned out though once I start dialling back the Easel's spring."

Buchla Music Easel - Eagel


Published on Jul 30, 2019 Jae Ryan

"I had this easel patch going that I really liked but I was super rushed for time so I hit record, did a couple takes and picked one of them. It's a little sloppy but I'm fine with that, its a 'performance' instrument after all.

The Easel is getting a little help from a Strymon El Capistan & an OTO BAM."

Endorphin.es Shuttle System (1)


Published on Aug 12, 2018 Jae Ryan

"This is my first patch with the system.

I haven't even really touched the shuttle control yet as I figured learning the modules would be important before deciding how I want to control them. I set out to do an "easel" style patch like this, however while wiggling I morphed it into this crazy ambient thing that I like a lot more. I just wanted to post this video as well since it can show the crazy range of the furthrrr generator. With only one evenings worth of wiggling, I can easily say this is my favourite oscillator I've touched in euro.

It has characteristics of the easel but just seems to be more musical and less quirky than the Buchla, and I'm a fan of both.

I had a lot of questions, a lot of concerns, and a lot of doubts about this system but its one of the few instruments I've purchased that just exceeded my expectations in pretty much every category. It's simple but deep, the oscillators sound amazing, grand terminal is super flexible and also sounds great no matter how digital it is! And the build trumps anything I've touched in euro as well. SOOOOOO solid.

Shout out to Nick Haisch & Complex Waveform as their videos are absolutely what sold me on the sound and possibilities of this unit. I look forward to more from you guys :)"

Buchla Music Easel - ply mouth


Published on May 5, 2018 Jae Ryan

"I'm about to leave my easel for two weeks and have had this patch going for a couple days but had no time to record it. I had some ideas of how I wanted it to go so I came in and hit record and went with it. This is the one and only take and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I am falling more and more in love with this very special instrument!"

Buchla Music Easel - giants of downtown


Published on May 3, 2018 Jae Ryan

"I've had the Easel for a bit now and was really adamant at first about doing the whole "easel only" cassette release (which I'm still considering) but initially I was just to trigger happy starting patches from scratch and seeing where it could go.

Now that I've come to grips with it a little and have a little more patience its easier to piece together a "song" instead of little jams.

This patch has been sitting for 3 days now running non stop and everytime I found a free minute I'd come jam it. Eventually I felt I had enough ideas to put together and try and make a video!

The music easel seems to really shine when you take something "traditional" and blend it with just a little Buchla, which is how the tempo of this track works. The sequencer is controlling the gates/envelopes and speed up just the tiniest bit when the high notes are triggered. It's subtle but its something that really makes performing on something like this unique.

As far as the whole patch goes, feel free to comment and I can chat all day!"

System Cartesian - castle mountain


Published on Feb 16, 2018 Jae Ryan

"I wanted to explore AM synthesis a little more and dig in to the sounds of the Buchla I fell in love with when I borrowed it. Also the sounds of Cortini's Forse which was a huge influence in me getting addicted to west coast and modular synthesis in general.

I'm running the STO through the modDemix but using the Telharmonics phase output as the modulator. This gives the AM modulation a bit of the tone of the six step sequence and adds a little movement. Otherwise it's a fairly straight forward synth patch with the Woggle doing some FM on the STO and the random out from it negatively triggering the decay on the bass synth part (this is one of my favourite techniques/use of a random out lately thanks to the 0-Coast and the fact that you can clock it so the random is at least musical!).

The two other things I wanted to explore here was manually "playing" Rene to get more of the Buchla touch place feel so I just tuned each of the 4 rows of Rene to a different note with no Y axis access. This means that everytime I touch a row the new note of the arpeggio would trigger.

I was also experimenting with WAYYYY too much reverb and I'm not gonna lie, I'll probably do It again......."
