I sold my easel to buy a sweet 1977 Honda Accord. Does that count?

Finally, the Porsche/Buchla crossover thread I have been waiting for.

More late night Buchla clone drone!

the EQ and reverb are separate signal paths. the voltage controlled mix is a mix of the two, so you should expect to hear EQ as long as the mix isn't 100% wet, but obviously the effect will become less and less noticeable as you approach full CW on the reverberation control. try it at 50/50 (12:00) ...

Oh gosh, how have we not mentioned Paul Jackson yet??

Yeah it’s a v2, I had it calibrated by a pro and I think it sounds pretty awesome. Supposedly the 285r v2 and the 285e aren’t too different. The hard part of going 100% 200e is losing some of the pure analog sound modules. One reason for keeping the 285r is to cover for what I thought would be less...

Also, the 285e sounds far better than the 285r to me (I’ve had both and sold the 285r almost immediately).

Remember there are two versions of the 285r. To the OP, do you know if your 285 is a rev1 or rev2 PCB?

The owls are not what they seem...

weird, i just heard this phrase in a sample while listening to a Motionfield CD (A Clear Horizon - a fantastic album btw) and was like "why does that phrase sound so familiar?"

anyway, since i remembered - any updates on the DSS or DSVF?

Funny how much these things are based on time and place; in the UK in the 1980s, Pino Palladino would have topped any poll. Now he doesn't even make the list. I think that could be because the bands he played for and his style of playing has dated a bit. A lot of flanging and moody fretless. Disinc...

Karl Alvarez and Darryl Jenifer are definitely in the running.

gosh, so many good players!

honorable home-town mention: Paul Hinklin

if you don't know, you should...

Jah Wobble

+1 for Jah Wobble. 'Gone to Croatia' is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Marcus Miller
Steve Harris
Bill Laswell (notable for so much more but his bass playing is remarkable)
Jonas Hellborg

and on upright there really is the king imo - Edgar Meyer

Or they wanted MORE on top of their 266. Who knows.

anyhoo welcome to our "wonderful" world, finlayshakespeare yes! never a dull moment here in Buchlaland... all that aside, just wanted to say thank you for all your effort and willingness to contribute to the Buchla DIY community. PCB ordered - can't wait to check it out when they're ready. :yay:

Honestly if you want a P sound, get a P bass. Versatility be damned, it just has the best bass tone for rock and punk. Being a long time Precision devotee I 100% agree with the first part, but not really the second. There is no "best tone" for a particular genre when considering P vs J. You can fin...

Oh OK, but Shawn Cleary/AnalogueHaven/EMS is not the same entity as Eric Fox/Foxtone/Buchla USA.

I wondered whether there had been some sort of formal IP acquisition/agreement made between the two parties.

Yes. BUSA and electricmusicstore are owned-run by same entities.

Wait, when did Shawn sell EMS?

It's funny, I went the opposite direction. I was a dyed in the wool Badass II fan for years, but found that on my older Fenders low and behold the old nickel plated stock bridge just sounds so much better - in a band setting. The heavier mass bridges sound cool by themselves, but they just suck out ...

Perhaps modules that are still technically in production but in practice are impossible to find new retail.

well that just inspired another project, thank you very much...

How are you liking the dual PCO? would be great to hear some/see some examples :) Honestly I haven't used it enough to really give an opinion. My 4u system is still being assembled and is missing a couple of key modules (my primary DSG's mostly) but I did manage to record this patch. It's not exact...

it looks really nice, but I feel like most R*S stuff is such a tease, at least here in the U.S.....its really hard to come by. I haven't even seen any examples of the new 4U oscillator module in the wild yet. But yes, this module does look awesome. Modular Addict was the only R*S 4u distributor on ...

oh gosh yes!!
