Thank you for taking the time to listen.

Just listened to a great interview with Suzanne and she made mention of a "40 page paper" she wrote back in the day about playing the buchla. I actually found a copy of it here: http://www.listentothis.info/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Report-to-National-Endowment-Buchla-Higher-Qualitysm.pdf Heres a l...

Just tested the iprogram card with the Command and was happy to find out the ipad's 218 is able to control the pitch of the 208c. With prior iterations of the easels you would need a 218e for this. The iprogram card would control the easel's 218e, which in turn would control the 208. I had initially...

I find the 208c Command's pitch to be spot on. With a keystep, using midi I can get it to track seven octaves. As soon as I use the pitch/gate 3,5 mm jack from that backside I get about 5 octaves. Using a 218 with cv in to the 208c I can get it to track 5 octaves. With all of the above there is mino...

Cool little gadget. Can you explain how the setup works, I'm gonna go on a limb an guess you're using a snappy envelope out to drive the PO32? Are you using cv out or the audio from the easel.

VCS3 Card All features are working. With my buffered 218 patched to the 208c panel keyboard pitch input, it behaves as expected : the scaling is ok and the pitch stays stable regardless of the CO, MO and VCS3 Card key switch setting. Pitch CV via the card connector probably won't work properly if t...

This reminds of an often reported issue of the "classic" BEMI Easel units. Maybe the circuit is the same in the Easel Command ? On the bright side, Buchla would only have to replace a single board if this turns out to be a thing. 8-) Pretty sure i'td only be one card for the prior iterations of the...

Anyone know of a nice (soft) carry bag for the Easel Command 208C? The Intellijel 4U 104 Gig Bag is an almost perfect fit (incl. enough room for carrying the module patched) - but I'm using mine for something else and Intellijel no longer produce that particular bag. What are other 208C users carry...

Cool seeing the thunder in action, thanks for posting.

Thanks everyone. I'm curious about the functionality of the 218 vs. various other third party controllers I could get -- especially the Arturia Keystep, which seems really great. Any ideas? Jim I have used a keystep and a 218. My setup usually involves 2 easels, sometimes an easel and the 208c. Whe...

There are all kinds of great cards floating around. My personal favorite is the 208 Toolbox from portabelabz. It really gives access to the functionality which lies underneath the 208's panel. Not to mention better control over the EG and a cv mixer. Another buchla oscillator to free up the MO to us...

Holy mackerel, that is an awesome video. I can't wait for the unit to arrive.

Thanks!

I have used a keystep with the 208c and to my surprise, really like using it. The aftertouch can translate to touch/timbre/modulation. The pitch, and the modulation wheel works and modwheel is assignable to diverse parameters. You can set up sequences and and use it for various arpeggios, also rando...

Do you have any audio samples?

I'd love to hear a clip of said 275.

Someone is really taking the 208's new midi functionality to a whole new level. Grooves

EDIT: Awww yeah! be groovin to this one the whole day!

That is a really cool patch. How did you get the sequencer to jump back and forth like that?

Thank you for all of your work. The forum runs rock solid and gone are the fears of loosing this valuable forum.

I really appreciate the work you have been doing for all of us, again: thank you.

Quite nice, especially for a first exploration. I wouldn't dare post my first week with the easel.

I really like the way the ribbon cable is connected, also the angle at which the case is set up. The unit as a whole looks like its been made on a very professional level. From design to functionality, it seems like a lot of thought and care went into it's creation. I find it impressive that one per...

I bow down to this, I've never heard an easel used in this manner.

This is a good place to order the program cards, not to mention other easel "goodies".

Happy to hear this is happening.

I was just talking about this the other day, didn't think that this was ever going to happen.

Great news, thanks for the pointer.

Great sounds, entertaining dialogue in the second part. I fear she may be a little fastidious in nature. Pics of you with her in bed or it it didn't happen, for all I know this could have taken place on the kitchen counter, better yet the pantry. Thanks for sharing. This is basically what it’s like...
