Buchla ZOe 1

"This was my first exploration of the ZOe. I wasn't going to upload because the video is out of focus. I was at my in-laws' and didn't have a good camera handy. I think it sounds pretty cool, though"

Levity Revisited

Published on Feb 15, 2017 Oxix52

"Here, I revisit the sequence from my other video Stranded Thoughts of Levity-[posted here]. This time, I am using the 261e and the 208 from the Music Easel as the sound sources. The sequence is not exactly the same, but close enough. The 261e is panned left and the 208 is panned right. The sine from the 261e is going through the 285e and is center panned. I like the sound, but I think the 259 has a sweeter tone."

"I really love the way the 261e sounds going through the 292e lowpass filter. This patch was one of those that wasn't doing much for me until I started playing with the knobs more--especially on the 292e."

Small Buchla

"I recently got my Buchla Skylab case. It is a very nice and very portable design. This is not the Skylab configuration listed on the Buchla site. I have taken some modules from my larger case to fill this one out. I like the fact that you can leave your patches in with the case folded."

Buchla Module removal and installation

"This is a quick demonstration of the removal and re-installation of a Pendulum/Ratchet module for the Buchla 200e modular synthesizer. It shows how easy the process is."

"This is another simple sequence. I really like how the mod oscillator of the 261e growls when adjusting the cutoff on the 281e."

I Feel Love - Buchla Style

YouTube via Oxix52 | August 29, 2010

"I remember hearing this for the first time when I was a kid in the 70s. I instantly fell in love with the sultry voice of Donna Summer and the hypnotic electronic soundtrack by Giorgio Moroder. This is my simple take on the rhythm.

I need a 266e so that I can do a proper hat and snare."

"This is my first video of 2012. The 222e is fantastic to use and really makes the Buchla feel like more of a complete instrument."

Having fun with Suonoio and Buchla Skylab

"I have the Suonoio going in to the 207e preamp with the envelope follower driving the sequencer and the 292e. Fun combo."

Arp 2600 Ableton Sync

"A quick video showing Ableton, Moog DFAM, and Behringer RD-8 synchronized to the Arp 2600 internal clock. Ableton and DFAM are directly synced to the arp. The RD-8 is synced to Ableton Live via USB midi."

"It seems like every time I sit down in front of my Buchla, I work with it for a while and think, "This is so cool! I need to do a video of this." The problem is, the rest of the world may not think it is as cool as I think it is :^)"

Working the Moog Voyager Touchpad

YouTube via Oxix52
"Here, I play a bit with the touchpad on the Moog Voyager. I used LFO from the CP-251 to modulate the filter and wave shape while the built-in LFO modulates the pitch with a square wave. The Korg EMX-1 provides a simple kick drum to provide a beat which the LFO is synced to."

Quick Voyager demo

"This is a quick(and sloppy) improv on the Voyager over sequences coming from the DSI MEK and Nord G2X. The Korg EMX provides the drums. All original patches and sequences."

"I finally got a little free time with the easel. I love the way the amplitude modulation makes the instrument growl."

Early Ear at Beanalog

Move Along

"All sounds from are from the Buchla 200e. High stuff is the flat noise from the 266e going through the 296e with certain frequencies triggered by the 281e which is driven by the 252e and 250e. 'Kick' is the right side triangle from the Studio H DPO. "Bass" is the same but the "notes" are subdivisions from the 252e. Body of the "Snare" is the left side triangle from the Studio H DPO with the snares from the noise going through the 296e. "Melodies" are the 261e sequenced by the 251e and the ZOe getting linear FM from the sine of the 261e."
