I have a some short samples made on an Ensoniq ASR-10 from Buchla 259s when I was in college. I will try to make the sounds available in the next day or do. I like to think of the Buchla 259 as a oscillator on LSD. It is definately a tool for those wanting to explore the stranger side of electronic music. I can understand many of Dieter's reservations: How many people will want this module? Can a 259 style module actually be engineered based on the old design using modern ubiquitous components while maintaining the unique qualities that make the original 259 so desirable? Does it make sense for Doepfer as a company to offer an oscillator that may be more expensive than any other module in their catalog? Should Doepfer create a module that will duplicate many of the functions present in other modules offered? Does creating a 259 oscillator go against the Doepfer design principles? I hope Dieter and Company can find the answer all of these questions and others they may have. I hope those answer convince them to build the module. Matthew

What does the Buchla 259 sound like?
