Back at CalArts on the 200 system we used to do it with a custom box (built by John Payne, I think) that basically recorded 8 sine tones of different frequencies to a tape track, each amplitude modulated by the control voltages you wanted to record. The control voltages were deco

Hello list, I am fairly new to the list and to Doepfer a100 systems. I got my first rack this weekend. I have quite some experience with modular synthesis though. I have one question for you guys: Has anyone had any luck with recording control voltages from the a100 system to ana

Hello List I would like to share my view with you. Deep in my heart I feel all modulars are priceless, more, all are very cheap especially when I think and remember all the magic and joy they allow. I am very pleased to live in this time when a modular do not have the price of a

hello ringmod, ok, maybe you're right. i would have to try the system first in order to be fair. btw, the whole patch recall systems really impresses me! if i had that amount of money, i'd, maybe, buy a buchla 200e modular system! but first, i'd buy many doepfer a101-2 lowpass ga

ok, i'll do a demo snip of the vactrol phaser in a more standard application too :-) regarding the a107, i'd say that it is a very versatile filter. the overal sound is typical cem-like. it is a smooth filter with a neutral sound, especially on the standard filtermodes. when morp

Hello! I own some different modulars with about 15 VCOs (plan B is coming) and I thought size did matter, but I'm starting to believe Mitchell's law. The preset part in this buchla is really something and also that filter... No comments on Doepfer, because I love its philosophy,
2004-09-02 by Bakis Sirros
hello UF, i'm impressed by one thing,though: in their site,buchla mentions that each module parameter can be STORED with the help of the midi/preset manager module! how do they do this? does it mean that every one module has digital control of it's parameters internaly? is there
2004-09-02 by unknown freak
Thanks for the link, Ingo. My one difficulty with it is that given the experimentalness of the patch, it's difficult to gauge what it would sound like under more traditional circumstances, like (gulp) phasing a string patch or one of those Wendy Carlos sorts of lines. Any comment
2004-09-02 by unknown freak
I'm tempted to say the Buchla probably still offers deeper creative possibilities in certain areas, but the Doepfer seems to outdo it in others. Timbrally it's a lost cause to argue that the Buchla goes further. And yes, let's face it, size, especially in terms of CV-related modu

You said knobs?... Oh gee, I_love_ the knobs on the old Buchla 200 modules, you know, those with the silver disc on top. At least for the price Buchla demands, they could have re-ordered those beautiful knobs. my EUR 0.02... Paul Bakis Sirros wrote: >still, the high buchla prices

It would be great -- and probably also very enticing -- if we could have some short mp3 examples of others of the new modules, e.g.: - the A103-1 12-stage vactrol phaser - the A102 diode filter - the A107 morphing filter Especially with the more expensive of these items it's diff

Wow, what a great-sounding filter. I'm gonna have to have one of these. Maybe two. I'm stunned. Have to agree with Zoran -- the whole modular philosophy argues in favor of opening up further possibilities within these designs. > -----Original Message----- > From: Zoran Bosnjak [m
2004-09-02 by Zoran Bosnjak
I am very excited about these new possibilities. I think that by abandoning approach of simple cloning, Mr. Doepfer has struck gold. When patching, this versatility translates into endless new sweet spots with their own character. Which is exactly what I am doing with A-108 at th

hello chuck, i've already posted some short snips of the a101/3. you can also find one of my patches for the vactrol phaser at the modularplanet website, called phaseformator. there is a short mp3 of that patch available too. the morphing filter is a bit difficult to sample, beca

yes the a106 is shaping up to be the most rad filter module ever. the new features are brilliant! the clips sound like my ole pal the ms20 alright, down to the subsonic 'ripping' that you get during a high res + low cutoff freq combination. for once a 'clone' will have vastly mor

wow! i listened to the sound example of the a106 and this thing sounds amazing! first i was a kind of sceptical when i heard that doepfer will make a ms20 filter clone because it's a very special filter and making a clone is always difficult. but doepfer has done a superb job the

You have to see past the jacks and knobs and bear in mind that you're paying for more than the materials and immediate soldering labor. You're also paying for years of the most innovative and artistic synth R&D by arguably the best mind ever brought to bear on electronic instrume

2004-09-01 by Bakis Sirros
hello, for me, almost all modulars are works of art! some have sensible prices and some seem to exploit their past fame and reputation. that's all. and modulars like the buchla 200e rely mostly on hype(and very small production numbers), in order to have such a crazy asking price
2004-09-01 by Rob Adams
OK if you think the price is too high, then don't buy it. It's that simple. It's really a waste of time for everyone to chime in and say "its too expensive" over and over...Remember that if you buy a Buchla, you're getting a work of art as well as an instrument. Maybe that is imp
2004-09-01 by Bakis Sirros
still, the high buchla prices are not justified by the buchla modules! what materials do they use that cost so much? are their knobs, buttons, panels and pcb's so super expensive? i really don't think so. bakis. --- Robert Hoffman wrote: > Yeah their a bit expensive but we're use
2004-09-01 by Rob Hoffman
Yeah, but back to the car analogy - take a jeep in for service (oil change, fluid check, etc.) and it might cost a couple hundred bucks, take a porsche in and it'll cost you three times that. It's especially true when it comes down to the cost of parts. I would assume at $19,000
2004-09-01 by shm1400
$1,400 for the new 259 oscilator? This looks very expensive to a working stiff like me. But then again, somebody was selling some 259s a couple of months ago and asking for $2,500. Each. I don't know what he actually got, but they were sold within one week. (If I had just spent $

analog is already a bit pricey...for me. when i buy new doepfer modules, i ask, "am i being extravagant?" and doepfer is the most economical! (paia runs pretty cheap, but only a few modules) as far as buchla goes, however, there is a market....no matter how lavish it seems.......
