sequencing without a sequencer

sequencing without a sequencer

2011-08-24 by benspost@hotmail.com

sorry if this has been covered before, but would it be possible to use the preset manager on a 206e to change the values of a cv source from another e module and control the pitch of a vco from that?  then sequence through the 206e presets with an external clock to produce repeatable pitch patterns? are there any e modules that have a voltage controllable cv source?

just trying to plan my system..

thanks, ben

Hi Ben -

Yes the you can step through presets to create sequences. There are  
limitations - but I believe that makes it even more fun :)

Here is a short video I did recently using the 255 as a voltage source  
along w/ the 210e & 206e:

  I suppose you could use a 256e as a "voltage controllable cv source"  
like you mentioned. OR maybe use a static CV from any available source  
and use the 210e as a "preset" voltage controlled attenuator that  
could create stages of a sequence to be "walked through" w/a 206e?

Another non-standard way to get sequences does use the "CV Recording"  
feature of the 250. Here's another quick vid:

I hope these give you a few ideas :)

Best,

- Adam

Ben, 
Check out the 255 and 256e for cv control possibilities.

Hi Ben, yes you can do this. This is a great vid by eldancer with the preset manager being manually switched to change pitch

http://vimeo.com/21824981

If I follow you, I don't think you need a CV source in this case. All module controls (all blue knobs) are stored and recalled via preset, so you can sequence these parameters using the preset manager alone. No CV sources required. Turn the pitch knob, and save the preset.

FS: some modules & case

2011-08-24 by Adam Scramstad

Hi all,

I've been experimenting with different Buchla systems/layouts and  
finally settled. So I have a great group of extra Buchla and related  
modules for sale.

Located in Oregon, USA. Buyer add for shipping and Paypal fees.

Feel free to send me an email:  ads@adamscramstad.com    with any  
questions or offers.

Thanks for your time.

- Adam


Buchla 222e w/ card rings and cables - $2250

Buchla 201e - 12 12-panel Powered Cabinet w/ case lamp and power  
(missing the 2x little brass nuts) - $1500

Buchla 207e w/ card - $750

Buchla 261e w/ card, includes original knobs AND black Davies - $1500

Buchla 291e w/ card: Works and looks great aside from the fact that  
you have to turn on & off the remote enable on the preset manager once  
every time to turn on your system.... Otherwise it sounds great...  
hence the badass price! - $1200

258V Verbos - Earlier version - sounds amazing - $850

041 Eardrill ModuleModule w/1x Attenuators, 1x ADSR, and 2x Blanks.  
Aside from one missing panel screw - it is in excellent condition - $500

Buchla style KLEE Model 2 Sequencer w/ powered boat. Excellent machine  
works and looks great! - $1200

thanks for your replies

i can see how useful the preset manager is and the depth the whole 'e' concept brings to the system! 

the mind boggles...

Re: sequencing without a sequencer

so yesterday i visited rash from this group who kindly showed me round his system, and we tried out the programmer-as-sequencer concept

it was very effective at stepping through saved pitch settings on the 261e with no perceptible lag between changes. the problem was it seems there is no way to jump steps on the programmer [other than by a factor of 1], to make a repeating sequence

with a switch it would be possible to step forwards a set number of times and then switch the triggers going to the programmer and start stepping backwards down the presets, then switch back to counting up again, etc

but it would be so cool to be able control the length of a given sequence of events with the programmer [ie less than the 30 that it gives currently] because you could set up amazing sequences with any parameter being recalled, in a musical way

is there a way of doing this?

Hey Ben - you were very welcome to come around to meet the 200e :-) For you, and the rest of the list, I found a discussion over on Muffwiggler that covers this topic a little. I wonder if in the future B&A will take a look at the preset stepping function to see what, if anything, can be done to improve it.

I was too smart arse for my own good: here is the link in full: http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36294&start=20&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

Apologies to the list for the double post. Thanks.
