THC Programmable Pulse Matrix + 296 Spectral Processor Drum Machine - Buchla System
Просмотров 6208 месяцев назад
Another session from last weekend with the PPM. I made a drum machine by running a triangle wave oscillator and white noise into the odd and even inputs on the 296. I then used three channels of the PPM to drive three 281 envelopes, routed those to the program inputs on the 296, and used a ton of short banana cables to build up a kick, snare, and high hat sound.
THC Programmable Pulse Matrix + MARF Stage & Envelope Sequencing - Buchla System
Просмотров 7928 месяцев назад
I’ve had the Programmable Pulse Matrix for over a year, but I haven’t used it very much. I decided to put it in the case this weekend and spend some time patching with it. Here I have 2 channels patched to advancing the stages of the MARF, while the other two channels are triggering the envelopes for these MARF sequences. Lots of fun rhythmic variations to be had, and could be quickly changed o...

Triglav Modular Clockwork Card Jam
Просмотров 782Год назад
An exploratory jam with the amazing Triglav Clockwork Card. I’m using the specialty CLIX mode and the card’s internal clock. This allowed me to change the pulser’s decay length with random voltages making for a more dynamic “envelope” to drive the LPG. Some kind of delay device was used, but I can’t remember what it was.

Buchla - Dissonance Makes The Best Bongos
Просмотров 4582 года назад
Basic Buchla bongo setup with the 259, 281 and 292, but the principal oscillator is being heavily modulated and filtered through the 296. The 292 is opened up to reveal the nastiness brewing underneath the LPG. Got a good pattern and set of notes going with the MARF. It’s enhanced by the 288 delay and it’s preset delay taps are rotating the sounds around the room.

      I didn’t use any of the pedals in this clip, but I think the lineup was a Swart treble booster, Fulltone ultimate octave, a phaser pedal called a Whetstone by a brand I can’t recall, and a Maxon AD999 delay.

    I really enjoyed this! If you don't mind me asking, how are you addressing the stages on the side of the MARF that's doing the quicker arpeggios and is it grabbing the notes from the same sequencer that is out of the shot (that's doing the main chords)? Really cool stuff. You are the MARF master!

    • @darksparklermusic
      @darksparklermusic 4 месяца назад

      Thanks so much! The second (faster) function generator is pulling notes from the same sequencer, but it's being addressed by a few different factors. A random voltage that is getting triggered on stage 1 by the first function generator on the MARF, and that is going into the external input of the second function generator. The first function generator is also sending it's all pulses output into the strobe input of the second function generator so it kind of acts like a reset trigger, but it resets to the stage that the current random voltage dictates. I then add the second function generator's internal clock to sequentially advance through the stages at a rate that is faster than the first function generator's clock. I also use another random voltage to vary the speed of the internal clock on the second function generator.

      Thanks so much! There’s another 4 channel Buchla sequencer down below (out of the shot) that is feeding the MARF the 4 notes of the chord, and the MARF is arpeggiating through those notes and advancing the 4 channel sequencer through it’s chords.

      Yes, it’s just the sound of the two oscillators from the 259 blended in the 296 filter. I demo this concept in an episode of the podcast we did on the 296. ruclips.net/video/QTQIBs059EA/видео.htmlsi=KBzfab5da4lNjrEu

    Your easel videos are awesome! Really learning lots of tricks from watching them! Question for you. Would you go retro or modern from the new iterations? I don’t have plans (or cash) to add another Buchla system so brain says modern but love the simplicity and look of the retro… interested in your opinion!!

    • @darksparklermusic
      @darksparklermusic 10 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much! I usually lean towards more functions, so I would probably get the “modern” option because of the really useful CV processing it has on its power “module” and the extra module space to allow you to expand into things like more sequencing, filters, function generators, random, effects, or cv processors.
