Anyone that received this type of cable recently want to trade yellows and greens for blues and reds? PM me

In my experience the 259r is highly susceptible to influence from the power rails. Both of mine are rock solid running on a (linear) bench PSU but have idiosyncrasies running in a case with the usual Cincon DC-DC converters (75W versions). I don't get generally wandering frequencies but the frequen...

In case of power related issue, I'd first suspect a faulty or overloaded system's own DC PSU rather than the mains AC.

Makes sense ; )

I should say I tried 3 different (known good) cases including a Buchla LEM before sending it off to be analyzed.

I currently experience this issue and have for the entirety of the time I’ve been at my current residence with my 259r V1 (if it was happening at my previous residence it didn’t catch my attention). I think it’s power related because it spent a week on Dave Brown’s bench and it didn’t do it. The pow...

The variance isn't something show-stopping, just average analog variance. If it turns out to be super aggravating the schematics exist and I'm sure changes to the gain of each channel's output could be implemented to level things out. Ok! Thanks Mike. Good to know. it’s on my extremely short list.

Understand there is no trimming for each channel's output level and they'll be a bit different from each other

It was just this and I’ve seen it talked about before in the ems forum.

How happy are folks with their 296r? Just curious? Trying to decide between building a 295/6 and I’m mainly concerned with the quality of the clone job. For example, the no output attenuation thing, is that also an issue on the 295 as well?

This would increase my chances of getting a 116/216. Maybe Julian would make a modified panel.

Wow, I’m so happy to see you guys at work with this stuff! So rad! Thanks for sharing your journey!

recently got a 285e and noticed that using a 258 as the external reference source sounded a thousand times better than the internal reference. I am able to hear aliasing on the internal source as well. However, using the 258 as reference and signal inputs was sheer magic! Are the Frequency Shifter a...

Kickstarter for the release - lots of fun rewards including custom REEL to REEL

We were recently featured on our favorite Buchla focused podcast Source of Uncertainty

This is the Album Trailer: -we improvised the entire album to 1/4" Tape

Here’s the photos

It’s the one board. Well I haven’t dismantled it from the panel yet. So once I do I will post a pic of both sides.

Built a 292c quad lopass gate roman board v2 a while ago but this issue may have existed the entire time. Having an issue where channels B and C are having opposite problems. When switched to both combo and lopass mode channel B stays in combo mode while channel C goes into lopass when switched to b...

The -r modules does indeed clip easily. But it can sound cool.

Like a pleasing grittiness?

yes

Pre-stuffed daughter boards? Any modifications, like I’ve heard the gain staging is off on the r.

...more to come...next are 291 and 296

Are 296 pcbs planned as well?

Added RED!

made some single space panels for my rig pcb material with 1 oz. copper on front and rear in red and blue selling my extras for $16 including shipping to US.

It’s fun to listen knowing it’s Buchla infused

My main oscillator in the buchla is a 259R... Hope that helps!

Love it! Yeah, I was curious about some of your favorite buchla modules? Or a system pic.

Which modules are you using mostly?

I use Canare GS-4. Only comes in black.

Me too. I love it. Perfect thickness. Sturdy. Doesn’t get microphonic.

Is it me, or is there a real need for another dual osc in that box, even woth the easel installed, basically 2 low pass gates in the quad I don’t see much use for without more osc’s. OK mic preamps and env followers sure. Anyone more bughla savvy see enough osc’s there? I see the 266/291 combo as a...

He was my main inspiration for getting into Buchla. I still study his sonics on a regular basis. He was truly one with his rig.
