266e / Source of Uncertainty

266e / Source of Uncertainty

2011-02-15 by potterpaint2000

As a fairly new Buchla-oid I am certainly uncertain regarding my patching options exploiting the potential of the Source of Uncertainty. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice/explanations/patches? Thanks in advance. Use w/the 259e? 25Oe?

My suggestion is simple.
Better than giving you examples, that could dictate my ideas into yours, I give you a little experiment:

just patch (one at a time) the outputs of the 266e to the pitch cv in of the 259e oscillator (a sinusoid would be the best)  and listen. 
Try different knobs settings and / or different cv signals to feed the 266e
You will hear things that will explain you how does it works, much better than words.

:)

The visual option is to so the same but use the 250e in continuous mode. In this way you can see how the voltages vary over time as the stages are selected.

That said here are some 266e ideas:
1) Run the QRV output into the PULSE input on the 281e. The 281e pulse output will approximate a divide by N of the QRV input pulse. Where N is determined by the QRV knob.
2) Use the SRV section with all the knobs CCW, and the slew knob at noon as an LFO S&H. To do this feed a self cycling 281e stage into the skew input. The result in more regular.
3) Run one channel of the FRV into the input of the other. Best if you include an attenuator. You can also run one into the pulse input of the QRV section.
4) Run any of the outputs described above into the 250e CV stage address input and run in continuous mode.

Sorry about that bungled message, folks. Corrected below.
