RE: buchla 256e (was:[AH]NAMM 2006 report)

Hi Cary, everyone,
just thought I'd throw in a few notes as to what I've been able to get out
of a 256e thus far:

>True, but I was hoping for smooth curves (lin -> exp, exp -> lin, etc),
It's not splines but did get some basic expo stuff going by sending the same 
voltage to the select and the A1 input.

>dead zones,
this was a head scratcher for a few minutes, but with three sections I was 
able to produce a dead band. Voltage to be processed sent to sections A and 
B. A out = 5 v for A in < 20/3 v, linear up to 10v from there on in. B out = 
3*input/2 for B in < 10/3 v, else 5v. send A and B out to the two inputs of 
section C, C1 and C2. fade between them using the main input voltage. there 
remains some expo character to the first piecewise segment, which can be 
gotten rid o fby using a step function for the final select voltage:

>step functions
quite simple: 2 cascaded sections the first rising from 0 to 10 v as the 
input swings from 0 to 5, and then staying at 10 volts. the second remaining 
at 0 volts until the input passes 5 volts and then rising to 10 v as the 
input increases.
