Does anyone know if the 222e is shipping yet? I would like to hear a review! (Don't worry we won't tell anyone who you are?) Where did Fred Weed go? Did the "buchla mafia" silence him? Mike --- In 200e@yahoogroups.com, "Fred Weed" wrote: > I wrote the code for the 250e and I agre

Up front, I apologize for my off-topicness.... No cenntenial commisions, 1976 - not ready for primetime yet.... I built my Serge system in the summer of 1976 while living at Serge's Lab, above a massage parlor on Western Avenue! It was the summer in the middle of my MFA studies.

Another opinion from the peanut gallery: I'm interfacing 200e with Serge/Cynthia/Modcan/Fenix/Milton and some older 200 series modules pretty well. I agree that you need to have separate 'pitch buses' for the oscillators and MIDI is probably best for the 200e oscillators. The 225

I agree partially. However, getting a nice, clean sawtooth wave from my Serge and feeding it into a 292e gives me a sound I just can't get from the Serge alone (or the Buchla alone, for that matter). Also, playing my Buchla with my Serge TKB is an awesome experience (I don't thin

Just another opinion from the peanut gallery, from someone who doesn't have a 200e, but has some experience with older Buchla systems... Don't even try to interface/interconnect your Buchla system to other systems - you will waste many years of your life...! The simplest way to g

2006-05-14 by Mark Verbos
Buchla modules integrate poorly with the Doepfer/Blacet/Wiard/Paia/MOTM world. The Buchla modules use 0-15 volt control voltages (0-10 volts on the later 200 series) and line level audio signals. The pulse inputs expect a 15 volt trigger pulse and a 7.5 volt gate on the same cabl

2006-05-10 by reedofuncertainty
Yep, it's mainly a transient thing. But I still contend that the 255 is one of the best new modules to come out of the new batch of stuff. You need something to attenuate or slew-ify voltage, especially if you're dealing with a lowpass gate or envelope step.
2006-05-08 by JB
Someone mentioned using the 255 as a simple envelope generator by using a pulse as input and controllong the envelope shape with the lag controls. I was just wondering, how does it actually respond if the rise lag is used in this case? I am thinking it would die off pretty soon u

2006-05-07 by cuari7
The way I use it, especially the audio side of it, is to have all my oscillator outs (including sine waves) fed into it. That means four inputs for each oscillator (261e, of course). You can program different presets that define how much of each you want in your patch. With this
2006-05-05 by Chris Muir
Are you using the 210 with a fixed set of connections as a "base" to build patches on top of, or are you repatching through it freely as you need attenuation & mixing? I don't have my system yet, so this cannot be taken as a considered opinion, but I would think that having a bas

[cross posted to 200e & buchla_modular] I realize that I have been making an assumption about the way setting Mod Type to pitch works, and I would like to know the reality. In my ideal world, the pitch mod would be exponential when the Mod Osc was set to low range, and linear whe

Fred, I'll take you up on your offer on 250e questions! 1. Is it possible to adjust the width of the pulse outputs? If so, how? 2. I haven't quite figured out how the "jump to" "& Loop" values work. What does it mean when the loop values are greater than 16? 3. How do you create

Hi I wrote the code for the 250e and I agree that it could use some documentation. I've been meaning to write something up, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. If any one has questions about the 250e, please email me or post your questions to either mailing list. In the meanti
2006-05-01 by reedofuncertainty
The 249e DArF has documentation, but it is mostly about the various pages of numerical information you have to input for each stage, so there's not a lot of cross-polination with the 250.

Hi, When I received a 225e and 250e from Buchla recently, I didn't receive any documentation. While it is fun to experiment and figure out how things work, the software controlled modules like the 250e can be rather frustrating if you don't have a manual. Is this normal? I sent a

2006-04-28 by reedofuncertainty
I should clarify. The 256e will invert scaling, but I guess that's not really the same thing as if you turn the input knob counterclockwise on a 255 or an oscillator CV input. If you set the little dots on the 256e so the first one is all the way up and the last is all the way do

I should add the stepping of the 256e is MUCH finer than that of the 210e and one is able to easily do stuff like rescale a 1v/oct keyboard to the buchla's standard.

I just got my 256e yesterday. After spending some time with it it is clear that it IS stepped. The knobs being stepped is ok with me. Digital pots I'd expect to have stepping. Unfortunately the processing it does on a cv also exhibits stepping. I tried patching a serge LFO (dual
