200e

for those of you who are members of the Buchla Modular group, I
uploaded samples of the classic 259 Osc. tot he Files section...

  the 259e uses a different waveshaping technique (non-linear
waveshaping), but the new 261e has similar controls/waveshaping
circuitry and sounds alot like the original 259 so those samples can
give you an idea of what to expect.  the samples are just a 259 OSC
with no other modules, I made these several years ago.

  I like FM'd chaotic sounds so thats what i recorded but Buchla
Oscillators are capable of a wide range of sounds which would be next
to impossible to fully demonstrate.. please keep in mind this is just
one example of what they are capable of.
