I have actually done the opposite: changed some Serge modules' jacks from banana to 1/8-in., to simplfy interaction between them and the Buchla. Examples: Wave Multiplier, Triple Waveshaper, ring modulator, comparators. The results are superb...

Reading the website description, clearly a ring modulator is a subset of a balanced modulator's range. Allen Strange discusses it in the context of Audio Rate AM and the original 285 module. "Most balanced modulators must have a manual and/or voltage controlled "modulation" index

I'd be interested in the definitive answer to this too. My guess is that it allows you to vary continuously from DC-coupled to AC-coupled modulation, with varies the extent to which the carrier frequency is suppressed (i.e. difference between AM and classic 'ring modulation' whic

I'm selling my 250e arbitrary function generator. Its a great module but i need to free up space. Here is a direct link to the 250e page on the buchla site: http://www.buchla.com/model_250e.html I am in europe if that matters. johan

As I understand it. The audio path and CV path of the 200e (or 200) is not really interchangable. The audio signals are only 1vpp. --- In 200e@yahoogroups.com, amnesia wrote: > > It was really just a general question..not thinking about it. > Since I have had the Buchla I havent

The reason for the question came from the descriptive text on the 285e page as follows..."A separate output is dedicated to classic ring modulation, a subset of balanced modulation." If they were identical this statement would not have much point....I guess, maybe.... --- In 200e

AFAIK a ring modulator the simple passive circuit with a ring of diodes and transformers and a balanced modulator is an active circuit producing the same result at a far better signal to noise ratio often referred to as a ring modulator as well. The effect is the same in both cas

It's nice connecting outputs to one another. The pulses/gates are diode coupled (wired- OR, some call it) such that everything works out just nice without thinking about it at all. If you want to think about it, then think the pulse outputs each have their own half of a voltage-m

yes, you've always been able to stack triggers. the effect of mult'ing cv's is usually saturation- the highest value gets applied. On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 1:23 PM, tmeade1974 wrote: > I stack trigger outputs into the pulse inputs of my 281e all of the > time. It produces predictab

I stack trigger outputs into the pulse inputs of my 281e all of the time. It produces predictable behavior (more so than when I do this on my Serge) so I assumed it was a feature. I seem to remember someone on this list mentioning this as a cool feature. --tom --- In 200e@yahoogr

Firstly, most professional synth builders, and I'm sure the Buchla is no exception, create systems where you can't damage a modular patching it to itself. The danger lies in sending a potentially dangerous voltage from the "outside" world to the Buchla. One can certainly use a vo

I for one had the notion that due to Buchla's unique voltage system that interfacing with other synths was not do-able or maybe could be damaging. Could you explain what would be some basic ways one could interface? thanks, db On 2-Dec-08, at 4:49 PM, cuari7 wrote: > I've followe
