I agree back with Chris' point.
One thing I really appreciate about the Serge is while its functionally
similar to the Buchla, Tcherepnin went about it in a completely different
way than Don did. While it's methods of control, control processing and
intent (not originally designed as a keyboard type instrument) were similar
and influenced Serge's conception, under the hood it's a completely
different animal. About the closest they come to one another would be the
random voltage generator in that they both use a noise modulated LFO as the
random source, but the Serge Random unit and Buchla Source of Uncertainty
have very different personalities.
