I have a 1973 made Serge - It says so on it. It was probably from the second batch made. It was definitely NOT from the first. Back then it wasn't a company, but a "cooperative" between Serge and various students. Ken ______________________________________________________________

When I hear Buchla 100, 200 and 200e on Youtube (wouldn't it be great to hear such powerful machines as 100 and 200 f.e. at a friend's house!) 100 and 200 have such a warm and organic feeling to their sound. The 200e sounds much colder, it must be due to it's analog/digital hybri

Nothing I've seen would indicate a higher price for the very early Serges. However, that would depend on the particular unit's condition. Buchlas were available only used for a long time. Now that Don sells the 200e, the early 200s still have appeal to those who don't care for th

You don't need a trigger to use the Smooth section of SSG for glide. Just patch any old thing In, and use the Smooth Out to drive something else, like an oscillator. Yes, you can use the SSG Stepped for sample-and-hold fun, if that 's what you're looking to do. Trigger it with th
