considering 200e acquisition- some q's

2008-02-11 by cellabbee

Hi all,

I am feeling pretty compelled towards this Buchla box -- if I bite I
think I can manage to obtain a mostly full 12-panel cabinet, and
without doubt 2 of the panels will be occupied by the arbitrary
function generator I hear such amazing things about.

I've read most of the posted messages, which have been helpful, but
have a general concern, which is:

--- alot of the 200e sounds I hear in files and videos online are very
'electronic' (chirpy, bleepy, machine-y, high-frequency-y...) but I am
inclined to make more 'natural' and 'organic' sounding noises. I had
some experience with a VCS3 many years back and was able to get sounds
of this latter type.

So the question is -- does the 200e have this capacity? Maybe I just
am asking folks to confirm, or not, that the 200e can produce pretty
much any sound if one works at it and therefore I shouldn't worry.

And if so --- any tips on modules that might be helpful in supporting
my sound goals, and/or what modules might I not need so much? Or might
it even be a matter of what happens to the sound once it leaves the
200e (EQ-ing, reverb, etc...) and to whatever degree that is the case,
then what recommendations does anyone have for further processing?

Sorry to throw all this out at once! 

thanks -- dimitrios
