Benge Buchla 700

Improvisation on the Buchla 700 by benge. See myblogitsfullof... for more info. Thanks to R Smith for letting me use his 700 system. Download the full Buchla 700 album here: zackdagoba.band...

I keep coming back to this video over the years... I really wish you would do WAY more videos of this extremely rare synth! Or just give it to me so I can do a bunch of videos! ;)

[@annother3350]

I bet you never bought his album

[@Genshi]

@@annother3350 I actually own every single one of his albums and have also been following him for quite awhile now... what a stupidly odd comment from you, why would you think I never bought his album? As a fellow musician and composer, I buy a LOT of music... and yes, I realize track 3 of his Chimeror EP is the same as this video, but it's seeing the Buchla 700 in action that really cements this for me as it's one of the rare synths I've never had a chance to experience in person (being that there are only maybe 4 in existence that I know of.)

[@annother3350]

@@Genshi I was being cheeky for sure to encourage to buy the album as many would not, and its good to support the artist but there was also an amount of presumption in me that thought a whole album may satiate your appetitie for the Buchla. Many people want their music for free now

[@Genshi]

@@annother3350 Fair enough, sorry for calling you a troll. But yeah, that's always been a pet peeve of mine; people wanting music for free... as a lifelong musician with 23 releases on my own label (which people are no longer buying) it really makes me sad that people just take for granted the effort it takes to write and put out this music, so I always try to support fellow musicians when I can.

[@annother3350]

@@Genshi We're in full agreement

[@geometrichorsehair]

This is splendid. The fact is: it is digital and it seems harmonically complex - deeply -, and it is an instrument on its own, you can feel and play. Strangely, it is exactly what lacks in the actual synth panorama, in my opinion. Buchla would have to reissue the 700, possibly [moreover, they already have the common cable and wi-fi technology to allow connections to modern computers and iOS].

[@WARDISWARD]

According to vse , the filters/amp tages are analog being digitally controlled

[@mikabreto]

Lucky for us, some badass programmer that worked with Buchla has created a nice iOS version called ID700. I call it the DMT7000 for obvious reasons.

[@boobtube356]

We finally have some Buchla 700 sounds and images. Thanks for posting.

[@douro20]

This isn't the only video of a 700 on KZbin, although it's probably the easiest to find.

[@DJjondent]

Thanks heaps Benge & to Rick too for sharing these sounds. So beautiful

[@donaldjasoncrunk]

really really pretty stuff from such a rare instrument, thanks for this

[@jimmy_jamesjams_a_lot4171]

What?! I’ve NEVER seen this?! THAT has got to be quite a unique piece of Buchla! Thanks for sharing!!

[@walrtbstudios5430]

They made 14, or 15, or something like… There’s maybe two or three still out there. If you want a recreation, the ID700 for Mac and iOS is damn’ good. And a lot cheaper obvs.

[@danopticon]

Closer to 10, according to Don himself.

[@cablevamp3163]

This machine is unbelievable

[@WeinglasMusic]

Thanks for sharing these sounds and pictures from such a wonderful instrument :)

[@davidryle]

Dream-like instrument

[@rankinfile2833]

thanks for sharing. my mind is blown

[@attorks]

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@daniellay9931]

I wish you would post more videos of this

[@memetunestudio]

Sorry, but I only had a few hours with the 700 - its not mine! Thats all there is from me - but I did an album with it - search for Benge Chimeror

[@AndyChannelle]

The ID700 on iPad bought me here to see whether I should splash the cash.

[@mikabreto]

So, didju? Cuz I did, I preordered it the day before release after watching it being demo’d on TheSoundTestRoom. Bliss.

[@AndyChannelle]

@@mikabreto I just did. Now to see if it’s as lovely as the sounds I hear in this video (and the sonic state ones with Alessandro Cortini).

[@AndyChannelle]

Based on the Adagio presets, it will give Mononoke a run for its money in the drone stakes.

[@LarsBjerregaard]

Sounds amazing!

[@ConditionalMan]

This is an amazing video. Thanks for all of the close ups. I'd love to try one of these out....probably will never happen though.

[@SiliconBassist]

A rare treat! : )

[@DanielDay-dv8uw]

Why doesnt the best original owner showcase this on youtube? Im sure there are thousands interested..

[@jolomuhmad2925]

Possibly because not everyone cares about getting "likes" and/or showing random people on the internet their instruments.

[@PlayedbyInstinct]

Analog filters. Was wondering what was going on there. Beautiful sounds

[@zacharythomas8939]

Cool stuff

[@RichardQuirkmusic]

Lovely sound and music. I wish there was new synths that sounded anywhere near this.

[@williammarshburn]

How did they get the display to do that? Like what kind of display is that?

[@limalo9934]

oh. my. GOD! This is what I hear after I fall asleep.

[@xoio]

Oh my F*cking God!

[@douro20]

Was this the first DSP-driven synthesizer?

[@oraz.]

It's FM like the dx7 so all it needs are lookup tables afaik.

[@RyderRipps]

wow

[@Pehr81]

Do you still own this? can you make an ISO of the boot disk and archive it?
