Buchla 2040 - Emu Filter module - test 1

Published on Sep 26, 2015 DJjondent
Update: the video has been pulled. I'll put a new post up to let you know if it comes back.

"A bit of testing for a DIY Buchla format module.
The audio source is a vintage Buchla 144.
The 2040 uses a SSM 2040 filter chip."

"The top is a clone of the LP filter from the Emu Systems Audity Synth and SSM 2040 voice card.
The PCB is from Analog Metropolis.
It is designed for Eurorack with pots mounted on the PCB.
You can still buy this PCB from AM Synths.

The filter is a 4 pole with cutoff of 24dB/Oct.
The module uses the SSM 2040 filter chip which was designed by Dave Rossum of Emu.. Apart from the Emu synth, this chip can be found in the Digisound 80-7.,Octave Cat (MKII), the Prophet 5 (rev.1 & 2. .......NOT Rev 3 prophets, which use Curtis chips) and the legendary RSF Kobol."

Update: Additional details via the MAM MB33 page:

"The MB33 Retro is manufactured completely in Germany, including assembly, mounting, casing, print and packaging – which is something, we are particularily proud of.

My thanks go to Hans Thomann and Bernd Siegismund from Musikhaus Thomann and Hari Rupp from the Music Store in Cologne, without whom this project would not have been possible. Thanks also to Artur Grönke and Harry Brandes, both of which have contributed greatly to the development of the MB33.

As with all analog devices the tolerance within the individual components is different from each other. Thus each MB33 is unique and always sounds somewhat different. This is what makes up a large part of the appeal for analogue instruments. Thus creating a much smaller device due to the SMD construction, it still contains all relevant components of the original.

The MB33 Retro was, like his predecessor, developed by Dipl.Ing. Stefan Schmidt.
Stefan Schmidt is one of the best engineers worldwide in this field , emphasized by building his own synthesizer „Schmidt“, a high-end synthesizer, used in all the top studios in the world. As with the original it was despensed of the on-off switch, since the power supply consumes almost 20 times more electricity than the MB33 by itself.

Questions and suggestions please address to „service@mam-germany.de“

1. TUNE: fine pitch tuning +/- 50 cent
2. WAVE: Blends the waveforms square and sawtooth
3. CUTOFF: Sets the upper cutoff frequency of the filter
4. RESONANCE: Creates resonances in the square frequency
5. ENV MOD: intensity of an Envelope to the cutoff frequency
6. ENV DECAY: Decay time of the Envelope
7. ACCENT: is triggered via MIDI and affects Envelope, Cutoff and Volume
8. VOLUME: volume control at the output of MB33
9. MIDI-LED: alternately on incoming MIDI signals, permanently at Autotune
10. ON-LED: the MB33 is on
11. Output: Audio output of MB33
12. SCALE / OFFSET: Adjusts the intensity of the cutoff controller
13. VCF IN: Audio signal can be processed via the VCF of the MB33
14. MIDI IN: socket for controlling the sound generator of the MB33
15. MIDI CH: Set the MIDI channel (see below)
16. DEMO / AUTOTUNE: Activates AUTOTUNE (in normal operation), or the DEMO ( button down while turning on)
17. 12V AC: Socket AC adapter
