Yes.... The new Buchla touch pad is excellent. Its programablity allow most of the functions found on the preceding Kinestetic Input ports - plenty of individual keys that can output pulse and preset voltages when touched. This really makes the 200e a complete system, akin to the

That is interesting. The 292's output is in phase with the input, however the Buchla mixers invert the signal on it's way thru, I assume to allow phase cancellation. So in a 206 you can use one side to invert and the other side to mix the signals. You could do the same with the 2

Agreed. I only own 259e's at this time, and while I agree about the vast sonic capabilities of them, I frequently find the aliasing too intrusive for my own, personal musical needs. The only device close to being able to do what the 259e does is the Serge Wave Multiplier, so I su

I think there may be a misconception about 261e being an improvement or "better" than 259e, lacking aliasing etc. In my opinion (i have one of each) they are complementing each other in a number of ways, soundwise as well as functional. Take a good look and compare mod osc on bot

Short answer - yes. The 250 voltage outputs refresh in real-time, whether playing or editing. The time/duration knobs work similarly - if you turn down the duration while on a stage, it will advance to the next stage that much sooner. This is true of most if not all of the knobs
