Not playing with the harmonic scan and spectral tilt enough seriously, i just don't get it

dopefiend · Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 1:05 pm Post subject:

If I understand this gizmo correctly, it is somewhat like a marriage between a 259 and a 296, with the ability to get each of those 10 harmonics with voltage-controlled levels. Pretty damn cool. I'd like to see a demo without the chaotic sequencing, though, which is rather distracting (please!). How about a sustained note, say middle C? Give us a snippet of each waveform, including PWM, then each harmonic.
Now, I have to ask: How much did you Never maintain cash savings again

for it?

amnesia · Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 1:28 pm Post subject:

Are the faders scratchy sounding?
I remember buying the delay module and all the faders were so scratchy it was really unusable.

I doubt I can get any further Verbos modules because the guy never replies to any of my emails which is very frustrating. Its a real shame because I love the 258v's and 254 I am sure my vids help sell some of thoes modules for him. I have been very supportive of his work.

Very disapointed that he has decided to no longer reply to me and yes I do have the correct email address and facebook. I really would have liked to buy this module.

Lyonel · Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 1:37 pm Post subject:

The different waveform outputs have a really nice, "large" analog sound. I'm curious to see the Harmonic Scan as well as the Spectral Tilt in action, preferably with some different CVs modulating them.

Even still, cool vid!

ether^ra · Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 2:55 pm Post subject:

It is very FAT sounding, more so if NOT recorded on my Nikon, obviously...the slider are not scratchy; the noise you hear is coming from my Ineko delay!

...$1800 it was! Sounds great...my only complaint is/was the holes in the module for mounting in my boat were machined just a hair off making mounting a real hassle!

I wish it was that simple, but its a catch 22, I email him get no reply leave it a month email again no reply then I was told that basically I was harassing him when I might send maybe 6 emails in a year to him. I know other people are gettng replies from him..very sad and frustrated about this. I really like the modules he makes.My 2x 258v's are my fav oscillators ever!...Every other manufacturer I have dealt with has been a breeze, Eardrill, etc I am hardly a hard person to deal with.

Obviously I would like to get this problem resolved.

Kent · Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 3:43 pm Post subject:

I don't want this to come off a rude and I know that beggars can't be choosers, however, would it be possible to do a demo for us that is without delay and just the oscillator into your mixer or soundcard without a VCA? I'm looking for what amounts to a drone with some futzing about with the feature-set of the oscillator. Maybe just 3 frequencies: low, mid & high.

Please?

Reed · Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 9:07 pm Post subject:

The new oscillator uses new faders that feel like butter. You can actually go smoothly from zero to full without getting physically stuck or hearing crackling sounds.

Votek_Mendo · Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:44 am Post subject:

Yes the fader feels really smooth, a huge improvement on the other previous modules.

amnesia · Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 3:40 pm Post subject:

well it all started out of confusion. Mark told me he was thinking about making a 259 clone back when he started making the 258v when I started dealing with him, which I now assume is what this module has become? Anyway of course I start to hear about 259 clones. I see peoples 259 clones and of course I would love one so I ask when he will be making them .6 months later and he denies ever saying it, somewhere along the line I must have upset him but from my side I am on the other side of the world every other manufacturer I have dealings with have been great and Mark was for a short while, maybe he was upset because I youtubed the lovely 258vs? I dont know these stupid fucking rules where you are not allowed to talk about something or you are, yet you are suppose to know what these rules are and people break the rules????

Anyway last email he implied I was hassling him, again not having emails only makes you email more because you wonder if the firrst email gets through etc. Now I am completely ignored if I email him or twice Facebook him.

I really do think its shitty and to be honest the only thing I hate about the whole synth comunity is the Buchla world of unspoken rules and lies. Most people are brilliant here it just takes 1 or 2 people to be assholes to ruin it for me.

I dont know why he thinks he is better than anyone else, someone mentioned that "be fair this isnt his job he is a busy guy" but for fuck sake we are all busy if not busier and yet we all have the decency to reply to emails.
Anyway I am sorry for this to come up here but I have no other way of expressing myself as Mark never replies. I just really hate this shit!

No worries/be happy - Verbos is hard t' deal with at times. i never buy his stuff anymore less he has it on hand or it is used. I sold my 288 too. I love what he does but i agree he can be a pain to deal with him sometimes.

amnesia · Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 5:01 pm Post subject:

yep sure .

Aparently we are not allowed to talk about 259 clones and yet they exist, aparently, as I learnt over time, that one rule is you are not allowed to post images of them or vids of them, yet I have seen heaps of them over time on youtube or photos only adding to my frustration of wanting to play one and enjoy it.

As I say 99% of the Buchla community is what I want from a community, interested , enthusiastic and joy at celebrating a wonderful instrument.

Thanks Science and Minimoog56 for also saying things about Verbos you guys rule!

I will never be offered a 259 clone or any more Verbos modules so fuck the rules!

amnesia · Posted: Mon Feb 27, 2012 5:21 pm Post subject:

Dkcg said...So move on then. You'll never force him to reply to your emails complaining that you think he thinks he's better than you in a forum. Starting to sound like a psycho ex-boyfriend there my friend...

Didn't you buy one of his modules from him and sell it very soon afterwards, like less than 2 months after buying it? the 288v?[/quote]

Why is this bothering you ? I needed to vent my frustration and as I said I dont expect anything from Mark anymore as he would never reply.

Also why does that bother you that I sold a 288V? I bought it, it was so scratchy sounding that I couldnt use it the way i wanted to and was told by other yes thats the way the 288v is so I sold it, Big deal!

And Dkcg if you let me vent then I will move on. I have said what I need to say friend.

dopefiend · Posted: Wed Feb 29, 2012 8:04 pm Post subject:

Can't help it. I'm jumping in:

I do not think that Mark Verbos is a cryptic, noncommunicative guy to every person with whom he has transactions. When I have a question for him and/or wish to purchase a module, all I need to do is shoot him an email, and I'll get a response in minutes/hours.

Could it be possible that he will just selectively avoid people with whom he has had conflict? Let's be mindful of the fact that he has not yet given us his side of the story. It takes two to tango....

I must clarify that I have no inntention of taking sides in this matter, though. I just think that we should not pass final judgement until he, at least, voices his account of the situation.

And with that said, I have to say that this new oscillator looks/sounds AWESOME!

amnesia · Posted: Wed Feb 29, 2012 8:15 pm Post subject:

Well this is the whole problem. I honestly have no idea why he will not respond to me. All I know is that I have the correct email address and am using two different email addresses just in case one is blocked, not in anyway hassling him I am just asking if I can buy his product. I am hardly emailing him daily or weekly.

My only thinking is again he did mention to me when the 258v was coming out that he may build a 259, I assume he never did but when I saw the 259 clones I obviously wanted one and about I asked him about it and he denied ever saying it.

I am on the other side of the world and communication is everything when you cant see anyone on the street or call them on the phone. All I know is I am fed up with trying to buy a product from him when I know he answers other people.

Again I love his 258v and 254 I just hate it when I try to email a person and want to give them money and I get no response. On the other side I have Cynthia who takes your money and I have to email her to findout what is going on and at least aI get a nice response.

I am more than happy for Mark to respond because honestly I am in the dark about this too.

You must remember I only aired this here due to total frustration that I could not get through to Mark and that I had been excluded from getting a 259 clone. Nothing to do with Mark)

Maybe my enthusiasm for syths gets read the wrong way with people, but this is the thing I pretty much love the most in the world and not much else impresses me in the world.

Personally I didnt really appreciate DCKG having ago at me,saying who I hate this week as I am not that kind of person at all, but it wouldnt be the first time he has had a snipe at me. And really its not Monomania when some other people have chimed in.

dougcl · Posted: Wed Feb 29, 2012 8:15 pm Post subject:

First thing I would do with this module is drone at constant pitch and ping those sliders with envelopes. Then try different wave forms. Then run same into a 285e and see what kind of bells tones would result.

bonusplays · Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 3:28 am Post subject:

This might be my perfect oscillator.

Mind you not something for everybody but this probably what I've always wanted from a VCO and a bit more.

I have nowhere near the money to afford it though and not enough time to breadboard it to life. So I'm loving the demos, keep 'em coming!

Guidotoons · Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 8:45 am Post subject:

My two cents...

The people that are taking the time and trouble to make "clones" of original Buchla modules really don't want a whole lot of hoohah online about heir work as they don't want to piss off Don.

Mark CAN take some time to get back as he has a life outside of making these precious wonders.

Neither he or any other person making this stuff is raking in big money as they are time consuming and hand wired. He offers it as a selective service to those who appreciate his work and are willing to be patient with him and respect his time and hard work.

If you think he is not providing you a quality product or great service, don't buy anything from him.

Sometimes he gets right back to me, sometimes not. I LOVE his work and will wait until it is convenient for him to fill my order as his work is fabulous and his redesigns are the sh*t!

There were a few folks that took advantage of a lot of people (including me!) back when the older 200 series stuff came back into vogue. They were opportunists and nobody deals with them any longer as they have been outed as such.

And Don doesn't seem to want to revisit his earlier designs, so I just consider myself lucky to have someone that wants to even TRY and remakes these modules.

Bottom line? If ya can't wait...don't.

Peace & cheers!

skkatter · Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 9:31 am Post subject:

So who has a Mark Verbos 259 clone? Are they any good?

amnesia · Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 9:53 am Post subject:

OK I wasnt going to respond any more because this is about the new Oscillator.

A few things... Captain Ahab? I am not trying to destroy anything. If you read every time I talk about the 258v and 254 I talk about loving them. Shit a few people here would not know about the 258v if it wasnt for my you tube vids. Now is Mark pissed that I you tubed them I have not idea? I think more than anything it probably gave him more sales. :-)

Regarding patients. Yes I can be patient but I get concerned when I talk to other people and they say talk to Mark as he is taking orders and then I email and get no reply and other people say I emailed him and 10 minutes later he responded. Ok if he is not replying to a few folks then I am fine with that. Its just hard to know where a person stands when there is no response.

If I am wrong about all this well I will take the hit but its so confusing to know what the rules are and what the arent.

I never said Mark made the 259 clone I said he told me he was thinking about maybe making one probably 2 years ago and then denied saying it, which confused me.

You never know, now that there are new owners the 259 may see the light of day again anything is possible. :-) I know the new owner and have mentioned the popularity of the 259.

Now back to this great new oscillator and more demos:-)

dopefiend · Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2012 1:57 pm Post subject:

I enthusiastically second Guido's statements. I have had the chance to own and love some of his designs, and they are such a wonderful addition to my system that I don't think I would have kept mine if I Mark's creations were not available. I personally have never known of Mark making a 259 clone, though. I have seen clones which originated from another, secret cornucopia hihi

but so far only 258v's and 262's have I seen come from him. I badly want one or two 262's now, though.... gorgeous things they are. I am very curious about making new funky waveshapes using the different freq outputs.

I think the synth community should understand that there are many Verbos-brand modules out there, all of which represent, IMO, satisfied customers. Dissatisfied individuals seem to be the exception rather than the rule, therefore, it's be interesting to hear Mark's side of the story(ies). then again, I'd much rather hear 262 sound samples..... hyper

Hello Analogues,

My Verbos Harmonic Oscillator just arrived and here is a very basic, no processing slide and twist through a few of its parameters. Can't wait to
truly explore this. See my description below.

OK. . . this is just out of the box moments ago. This is a very rudimentary demonstration of just a few of the basic functions. Apologies for the poor recording quality of my flipcam mic -- you will occasionally hear some graininess, aliasing, and light distortion due, I think to the mics inability to handle the difference tones and rich harmonic content. The sounds I am hearing are very, very pure! The faders are as smooth as butter and the pots have a nice easy resistance. This demo is all just on a single fundamental pitch -- haven't even hooked this up to a sequencer. No effects or processing. At some point I'll post a high quality audio on soundcloud. Hope this is helpful.

Awesome module and great demo. It appears to be set up to do additive synthesis. I would want to try stuff like this:

Or maybe just use this module in the synthesis section of a vocoder? Seems like it would make a good companion to the 296e.

Hi guys and gals,
Glad these rough demos are sparking great thinking, lust and imagination! w00t

Love this module. It's motherfucking bacon yo

Here is another very simple look at sweeping the outputs.
More to come later today. Can't wait to try the long envelopes that Doug mentioned.

awesome oscillator!!!!!!
the first 20 seconds of the first video seems the "2001 A Space Odyssey" soundtrack..

If you had specific shapes you wanted for a large set ofenvelopes the 225e and an external sequencer that lets you draw midi cc data would work.

demo #3 - a random SOU pattern while manually adjusting the harmonic content. One more demo to come later today, then I have to get back to work :-) Enjoy!

These videos are great. Could you make a video with CV to the sliders and then sequence the pitch?

Thanks again for making these!

OMG - Thnx for these demos. Now I know I need one of these. d'oh!

sascha.victoria · Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:57 pm Post subject:

I'm aware that CV to the sliders effects volume of the harmonics. What I'd like to hear is CV to the sliders so you're sequencing the volume of a few harmonics. Then transpose the pitch of the whole thing with CV into the pitch of the oscillator every so many bars. If done right this should be arpeggios from heaven!

Rather than take up real estate here with vids I'm posting links to all of my 6 demos of the Verbos Harmonic Oscillator for those interested. Enjoy! Love this module w00t

Demo #1 – out of the box play
Demo #2 – pitch sweeping through the outputs
Demo #3 – random pitch pattern/manual harmonics adjustments
Demo #4 – Harmonic Scan & Spectral Tilt
Demo #5 – Monophonic sequence with enhanced harmonics
Demo #6 – VC Sweeping the Harmonic Scan section

cheers! Todd

Great demos, thanks a lot Todd applause

Thank you for the demos! I think I'm in love with this oscillator but I don't have any Buchla.

sascha.victoria · Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2012 1:46 pm Post subject:

Wow, these videos are really great. With each video I can see tons of potential with this module. You can do so many interesting things so easily with it. For me this is the most interesting module in any format to have come along in a really long time. Hats off to Mark Verbos.

Incredible Oscillator...... Thanks for the awesome demos !!

This could be the best oscillator I've ever seen.......

Todd

Is the metal face plate smooth or similar to the Verbos/ Buchla texture? It also looks to be a bit lighter in colour than the usual Verbos plates.

Thanks again folks. I'm so glad these humble demos spark ideas and imagination. Here's a 7th demo. Enjoy!

djangosfire · Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 5:45 pm Post subject:

yet again another inspiring vid - I was hooked after the 1st vid.... and yes, my order has been placed Guinness ftw!

Such a treat to have these analog companions to the 200e system!

How are the sliders on the 262v? From these videos it seems like if you put them up a little the volume is most of the way up.

thumbs up

The slider behavior is musically useful along the entire range of travel. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen Mark do. Can't think of a single negative thing to say about it.

Ooh yes ! completely awesome work from Mark. Terrific module ! thumbs up
