Great Synth, definitely on my bucket list when it comes down to some reasonable price. In the mean time, I'm looking hard at the Pittsburgh modular Voltage Lab 2
By the way, I do know the difference between squares and rectangles . . . and obviously this case isn't a square.(Maybe pulse width modulated squares should be "rectangle" waves?) I think you all understood I was just making the point that it has 90 degree corners which allows the overall dimensions to be skinny enough for travel and still maximize space. And BTW the case body is US made and made of a very strong HMPE (High Molecular Polyethylene), not ABS. When I'm unscripted sometimes my mouth gets ahead of my brain.
looks fun! On my wish list along with an ARP 2600 FS and Erica Synths Perkons. That trilogy would be massive fun and throw in pin matrix Analogue Solutions Ample. MIDI clock them for some weird madness.
Hi Joel, can you tell me why the MO frequency and modulation sliders were switched back in 2013? I really appreciate your nod to that by making the seq available to the MO again on the 208c.
Don realized he made a mistake in the order and changed it. The instrument UI control flows like a schematic from left to right. It makes more sense to deal with the pitch first just like the Complex and then it's output to the Complex that it modulates. It's possible Don liked the mod osc connection with a shorting bar?, but that 1973 order was odd. And against objections from BEMI to make any changes, Don felt it was important enough to re-order it.

My Retro Easel arrived two days ago - I’m in love.

do you know if the program manager card works with the new modern Buchla Easel?
Of course. Card slot is unchanged. There is a separate video on just the card slot too.

As well as newer 208c/218 . Interested in buying case and controller
Great video! Thanks for sharing with us!
i have had my easel for almost a month and LOVE playing it!
Glad you enjoy it Philip! It is unusually addictive and satisfying to play
@@JoelDavel Addictive indeed....that is why i spend about 5 hours daily, in front of it! Would like to pick up some more modules, soon to add to it.

@@JoelDavel thank you Joel.
Thanks for this! Loving my Modern Easel!
I’ll get there eventually.
Amazing as always.
Thank you. I am curious about working physical cards. Have older easel, many blank cards ;)
I'm planning on making a specific video about the cards. Stay tuned
Great demo Joel!
Yeesh! It just sounds so gooooood!
i guess getting rid of the tinijax was a bit too modern hehe
but what is this for? i cant imagine paying 5 grand for this noise
