"Patch made with 5 of the new Buchla Tiptop 200 series modules that were reissued in eurorack format. Clouds is processing everything very lightly. Towards the end the reverb that saturates everything is from the Avalanche Run which is also adding the delay effect all the way through the recording"

266t Rhythm and Noise

"A crazy experiment generating rhythmic patterns from the 266t Source of Uncertainty then taking it into the audio range for some sort of noise oscillator. More experiments to come.

The patch in this video features the following modules;
- The Wogglebug
- Oakley Croglin VCF
- CGS114 DUSG
- MFOS VC Echo
- Oakley Classic VCA
- FCUK System X ADSR
- Tellun Doomsday Machine (for LFO modulation)

"In this video resident expert Nick Bigelow shares an in-depth look at the new Buchla and Tip Audio Collaboration, Source Of Uncertainty 266t.

Order the Source Of Uncertainty here: https://bit.ly/buchla_266t

Tiptop Audio and Buchla team up to bring you the Model 266t Source of Uncertainty. Inspired and designed after the legendary synths and instruments by pioneer, Don Buchla; the 266t will beckon back to early days of sound synthesis and bring to the modern day a key building block element to eurorack modular systems, random voltage creation and manipulation.

"Rockin' the Magnetic Freak Gaussian module today... ❤️❤️❤️

Lets you quantise weighted randomness in the pitch domain AND the time domain (what a clever idea) and has 6 outputs for each. A very complex module which fits into the Buchla paradigm perfectly. Its sort of like a Source of Uncertainty but through a microscope"

Buchla 100 - 100 noises 02

video upload by zack dagoba

"Here are two of the rarest standard Buchla 100 modules, the 185 FREQUENCY SHIFTER and the 191 SHARP CUTOFF FILTER. Actually I didn't realise how rare the 191 actually was until I heard Mark Verbos speaking about it on The Source Of Uncertainty Podcast. As he points out, when do you ever see a vintage photo of a 100 system with one in it? (Answer: not very) Both these are vintage units with green ink - I was so lucky to get them as part of the incredible tiny system I bought ages ago (bottom section of the left-hand cabinet, plus the 112 touch plates). In this patch I am doing the trick where you feedback the filter signal a bit using the 106 mixer to get it to be more resonant. Its in Bandpass mode, and sounds completely great"

Buchla Analog Modular Synth and Voice inspired by Sci-Fi Soundscapes 🚀⚡️

video upload by The Galaxy Electric

"The fun continues. Every week we watch a vintage sci-fi film on our stream MST3K-style. This provides fun in the moment as well as endless inspiration for later. Here we conjure vibes from our time spent soaking in these tape music and vintage sci-fi soundscapes. The patch started with an arpeggiation of the "Goonies Chord" which includes the notes C, E, F, A which makes a FM7 2nd Inv. chord. The chord's sound was generated by an instance of Pro 53 VSTi by Native Instruments, arguably one of the best VSTis of all time. The arpeggiated chord was recorded into the buffer of the 1979 SMP. From there the "Position" was modulated by a slow looping function from the 281 Quad Function Generator. The noise drops were created by pinging a lowpass gate channel of the 292 that is being fed some white noise by the 266 Source of Uncertainty. The pings were being clocked by a slowly timed Pulser coming from the 245 Sequential Voltage Source. The result was fed into the 277 Signal Delay which had a delay time of over a second cued up. This creates a minimal and ever changing rhythm bed. Lastly you get some 258 Dual Oscillator Square wave that is sent to the 297 Infinite Phase Shifter. The volume level and low pass filter frequency are being controlled simultaneously by the 216 Touch Activated Voltage Source. The pitch of the Oscillator is being transposed by the 216. Got it! It's much more fun to just throw some headphones and give it a listen.

As always the lovely vocal echoes are emitting from Jacqueline's chords. Her signature chain of two Boss RE-20 Space Echoes provides an aging tape loop effect.
