Super Rare Buchla Thunder Ribbon Midi Controller SN 1072

"In a nutshell, it is a configurable controller. You tell each key what to do. It is hugely flexible. Each key can send on any mixture of MIDI channels. Each can send note on/off data and a huge range of user configurable controller data. Keys can be conditional in reaction to each other in a manner summarized as "don't do this unless that has happened first on Key 13" or similar.
A user can record 99 events shared across 8 slots that can be edited ex-post facto and fired off and stopped at will. It is called "Riff Recording" and I quite like it.
One way in which the Thunder differs from the 200e-series controllers is that many of the keys can be split into multiple independent keys. Each of the long 'fader' style keys can be split in half. The hexagonal "joystick" or "X/Y" keys can be partitioned into 3 keys.
Every key is pressure sensitive. That pressure can be assigned to many kinds of controller output messages. Each key can be different.
Each key is also "Impact" aware and can sense and transmit the initial striking forces independently."

Vintage Synth Lab : D-ENV Eurorack delayed gate & trigger envelope generator


Published on Feb 7, 2018 Vintage SynthLab

"The D-ENV is a 10hp Eurorack analog (exponential) envelope generator (AR, ADSR) with an additional Delay and Hold circuit to generate delayed gates or triggers, and hold time up to 1 second. The D-ENV's delay circuit is completely independent of the ADSR, however the delayed gate (or trigger) can be routed internally using the D-G or D-T switches. The Delayed Gate and Trigger output jacks are always available, regardless of internal routing. CV to control DELAY time (DELAY controls sets maximum delay time). The Delay circuit is essentially a one-bit shift register which only allows gates or triggers at the DG-IN jack to be acknowledged once the complete DELAY, then HOLD (sequence time minimum is 24 ms, or 12 ms for each stage) process is complete. During the DELAY or HOLD processing, the DG-IN jack ignores all incoming delay gate signals. Inverted output of the EG is also available. Short and Long modes are accessible from the front panel, however the extended long range can be set on the rear of the module for extra long envelopes."
