Potentia 200e buyer advice appreciated

2007-01-06 by fhserge

Hello experienced 200e users,

I am considering buying a small 200e system filling a 200e 6: powered 
boat in the next few months.

As a sequencer maniac I definitely want to have a 250e. Next 
preference would be a 261e and a 291e. A 281e and a 225e would nicely 
complement this "traditional" small system.

What do you guys recommend?

Btw: I have a lot of other modular gear, so I am more interested in a 
Buchla "music box" of modules with functions which are not available 
from other manufacturers (Plan B, Doepfer, Wiard, Modcan, MOTM etc).

Thanks a lot in advance

Frank

Hi Frank,

Generally for a six panel system that must include 250e I would
recommend: 250e, 281e, 292e, 261e and 225e. That would give you
something "traditional" that can be used on its own.
Why no filter? Well the Buchla oscillators are capable of such a wide
variety in timbre by themselves that a filter isn't as neccessary as
in systems from other manufacturers. I think the 292e is enough in
such a small system.

The 250e is great, i got mine a month ago and i love it. 225e is
essential to enable storage of parameters, since the sequencer is so
complex you'll need it. 261e probably matches the quantized CV output
of the 250e better than Plan B etc. If you have a lot of other modular
gear and wants something extra perhaps you could do without the
281/292 as many others copies these modules? 291e is a powerful module
providing functionality that no other manufacturer does in such a
small package. It definitely needs the 225e too. The last module could
be 266e, another 261e or a 297.

I don't qualify as much of an experienced user yet but I did just go  
through
what you are doing last year so i'll comment.   I originally wanted  
to get a
sm. 6 boat to test the waters but once I got my hands on a few 200e
modules, I absolutely loved them and my 6 boat plans quickly tuned into
a 12.  I actually ended up going with an 18 cab and even it is  
filling up
quickly.   So much for small...

Maybe as an option, you get two (4) boats that give you the choice of  
rack
mounting.   The module compliment you list is a very good for a sm.  
system
but you are going to want to expand eventually and i'd recommend getting
a 266e and 292e next.

I tried using the 291e as a vca the other day and while it works fine  
and
sounds punchy enough for me, I'd miss the lo pass gate and the ability
to use both a low pass filter and a gate in the chain like with the  
292e.

Hi Johan and Bryan,

thanks for your kind and fast replies!!!

I indeed want to start with a small system BECAUSE I do not have any 
experience with a Buchla system. Buchla does not even show on 
Frankfurt Musikmesse!!! For me thats really weird as we are living 
in a "small world show" and many well known synth maufacturer 
exhibit there.

As Buchla seems to have a very good customer service and there is 
a "keen" second hand market I do not see that much problems if and 
when expanding the system, i. e. buying a larger boat.

The functionality - as also Johan pointed to - of the 266e, 281e and 
292e is well "copied" by Peter Grenaders Plan B product line and  
the newer Doepfer modules. So there is not that need to buy them.

Using the 291e as a vca is exactly what I intend to do (Ezra Buchla 
mentioned that possibility some time ago).

What I would really like to know are the reasons people had when at 
least partly migrating/moving from other well respected 
manufacturers like Serge (hello Jesus Diaz) or Wiard (Matthew 
Ritenburg) to a Buchla system besides monetary reasons? What do they 
think after a year or two?

Last question so far: what is the "typical" delivery time? Does that 
depend on the module choices?

Re: [200e] Potentia 200e buyer advice appreciated

Hi Frank,
I'm going down a similar road, in my case, 2 4 boats,
250e, 250e, 261e, 259e, 281e, 291e, & 292e, hopefully
a 266e at a later point.

My intent is not to attempt to integrate this small
instrument with my other modulars, instead I want to
establish it's own voice, but subject it to the
typical digital stuff. Musically, processing seems to
provide such a broad set of possibilities, by limiting
my primary source, I hope to maintain some amount of
homogeny in my work.

I chose the Buchla over other options because it was
available, I've wanted one for about 20+ years, and
was finally able to scratch enough out for a small
system(severence pay-off, I was due...)
Most importantly, the sensibility seems to resonate
for me for some reason. Probably due to the wonderful
folks who've used their Buchlas.

I ordered mine not too long back, very anxously
waiting! I suspect the delivery times are similar to
other small, custom builders.

Good luck, you'll be happy, I'm sure.

Don

I have bought modules over the last year and delivery times has varied
between one week and four months. I think it depends on what they have
in stock at the moment of ordering. Call/email them and ask about your
specific order.

If you want to go to Sweden you are welcome to try mine before you
decide. There might be others closer to you that has 200e systems that
you can try.

Eventually you'll want them too :-)

While it does work the 292e is a better VCA.

I sold my Oberheim Xpander, Matrix 1000, a truckload of EMS gear for
example Synthi E, Sequencer 128, DK2, Pitch 2 voltage, etc...
Genelecs, a mixing console and many other things to get this and i
haven't regretted it for one second. Now i am thinking of selling my
Synthi A as well to expand further...

Hi JB if you are thinking of selling the SYnthi A, I am looking for one :-)

Hi Frank,
I just took delivery of my small system, 250(what an incredible
sequencer!)/259/261(both waveform generators are brilliant sounding,
really in their own class)/291/292/281e.
Still in stun, easily exceeding my expectations. I was possibly remiss
in not adding a 266e, but money...
As it is, I find the instrument really quite complete, and I doubt I
would be able to match much of it's nuances with a different instrument.
Plus if one choose to venture to any of the preset modules, the value
would extend that much more.

Re: Potentia 200e buyer advice appreciated

2007-02-27 by fhserge

Hi Don,

thanks a LOT for remembering me and giving an instant feedback!

When listening to Yasis demo at NAMM this year (via web of corse...) 
and Johan Bobergs short demos (thanks Johan), I was finally convinced 
that the SOUND of a Buchla could be MY sound...

I know there is no certain SOUND but there is a CHARACTER!

I NEVER liked the DX 7 as I prefer nasty, organic and growling sounds 
which are thick (whatever that means)...and all the examples of the 
Buchla 200e I first listened to were these "marimba" alike sounds which 
are simply not my taste...

I am really glad to hear that YOU are excited about the Buchla and 
would appreciate feedbacks as you are moving on exploring the 
instrument!

Btw: Visual demos are by far more helpful than just mp3s. IMHO 
manufacturers should generally post more and longer videos than bible 
long manuals...

Frank

re: demos i coudn't agree more don. there's nothing that comes close

all that said and done, you can hear a 200e in action on this track:

Okay, a mp3 demo and cruddy cameraphone shot, (sorry,
too slack and short attentioned to pull of video for
now.)
Cheating with tiny bit of delay, less tiny bit of
reverb.
Sound source is mainly 291 self oscillating, fm'ed,
am'ed, bwm'ed.
It's at Twango(Thank you Ross Healy, that's a great
resource!)

 too slack and short attentioned to pull of video for
 now.)
 Cheating with tiny bit of delay, less tiny bit of
 reverb.
 Sound source is mainly 291 self oscillating, fm'ed,
 am'ed, bwm'ed.
 It's at Twango(Thank you Ross Healy, that's a great
 resource!)
