Dannysound Cali Oscillator and Timbre: Buchla-style waveshaping and folding

[@edgardvera3132]

Fantastic tutorials. Best on KZbin right now !

[@roryofarrell1488]

This is utterly superb, and so usefully applicable to many modules. Thank you.

[@SloLFO]

Great channel! Very informative and well done. Thank you

Thanks Tom. Really helpful, clear tutorials. These Dannysound modules seem like a great place to start for a West Coast system.

[@TomChurchill]

Cheers Alan! Yeah, if you enjoy the DIY thing they’re a great way to explore the West Coast side of things. We’re kind of spoilt for choice these days though with the new Tiptop Buchla stuff etc. I’ve really enjoyed trying things that are a bit different from the subtractive synths I’ve been playing with for 20-odd years. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@alancurrall]

@@TomChurchill Yes, I think this is the way I'd go if I was starting up today - despite my rudimentary soldering skills. The Tiptop Buchla are stiff competition though, at that price. My own West Coast journey began with Verbos Electronics, which can soon leave a big dent in the bank balance. ;-)

Tom another superb tutorial, love the Dannysound modules, first saw Ben Kiaty using the EN 129 to FM into Odessa VCO but alas I have not the eyesight or patience, skill to build kits so not cost effective to buy assembled even if available but awesome sounds , Green with envy In anticipation of your next episode cheers Martin👍🆒🎶🌟🌟

[@TomChurchill]

Cheers Martin, glad you enjoyed it! They do crop up on eBay/Reverb assembled occasionally, but as you say, you obviously do pay a bit of a premium for that. Hopefully some ideas you can use with other modules anyway!

very cool💙thanks for sharing

Fantastic Tom!

Hi Tom Great video. I am fancying the Timbre… What case are you using?

[@TomChurchill]

Thanks James! The top case is a pair of Behringer 'Eurorack Rack' cases mounted in a 6U desktop rack enclosure from Nutshell Studio Furniture. Worth noting that the Timbre (and Filter) have three layers of PCB so they're a bit too deep to fit into a Palette or shallow skiff case - you'd need about 55mm I reckon. The Behringer racks are open-backed so depth isn't an issue if you stick them in a deep enclosure...

What do you mean by east coast and west coast synthesis? What is the difference and what does this mean?

[@TomChurchill]

In a nutshell, ‘east coast’ refers to the type of synthesis pioneered by Bob Moog in New York, which starts with harmonic-rich waveforms (saw, square etc) and uses a filter to remove frequencies. ‘West coast’ refers to the approach pioneered by Don Buchla in California, which starts with simple waveforms (sine, triangle) and adds harmonics using wavefolding, waveshaping, FM etc. Here’s a good article with a lot more detail: reverb.com/uk/news/the-basics-of-east-coast-and-west-coast-synthesis
