Buchla, Make Noise, & A History of Spectral Animation in Synthesizers

[@mmm-s1n]

Excellent video - its structure, sound excerpts, interview snippets, and walkthrough are gems. It's a peak among your content. Thank you so much for this video, as it motivates me to play and dive deeper into my craft. You're the best!

[@soundandsavor7955]

This is an exceptional video! I am only 9 months into my Buchla life, thanks to a very generous present from a mutual friend of ours and have been enjoying your music and your videos very much as part of my education and exploration of this amazing music.

[@b0d0p33t3rs]

Such a good combination, of Tom understanding, and Sarah, you understanding, explaining, and performing these very fundamental ideas and this richness to sound. Spikey, pokey things that erput, we want to play with it forever too. ♥

[@electronictiger]

Nerding out all the way, neat stuff! Any chance you could upload the full interview with Mr. Erbe? I always like it when I can see the whole thing, rather than just the highlights. To get an impression of what the people are like. Anyway, thanks for the cool video!

[@jpiekkala]

Clear and pedagogically explained the use and meaning of the Spectraphon. Also, at 11:50 a very nice demonstration of the use of it combined with the 0-ctrl.

[@deathbots7081]

This was super interesting, thank you for doing the work. Can't wait to mess with the Spectraphon again with a richer perspective.

[@MartinDoudoroffLLC]

Nicely done!

[@blackpatch-blatch]

Merci pour cette belle explication. Je pense ajouter spectraphon dans un prochain panier à provisions 😍

Excellent video, excellent content and some excellent music! I've been really enjoying Walker's Spectraphon videos, this made me want one though

[@SoundsMick]

Amazing video, learned a lot and it is inspiring ideas

[@ErisFairbanks]

This is fantastic! I never would have guessed the Spectraphon worked this way and it's great to see the history and inspiration behind it. c:::

[@TheJorkiller]

Tom Erbe seems like Kyle MacLachlan to me hahaha, so lovely and fascinating guy, nice video Sarah thanks!!

[@andreasschmelas]

Loving this! 20:45 vibes between Villalobos Easy Lee and a church organ on low register 🥰

[@JJTFishing]

Love this.

[@MYGAS21]

Wow extremely interesting! ...A While back I attempted to create tuned ring modulator bell sounds using an EHX vocoder. The idea was to use the spectral make up of the Ring modulator bell partials and "play them" with the pitches of the guitar. Just like the guitar plays the timbre of a voice in this EHX vocoder. ....I failed. I don't understand why. Sara do you think I could succeed with the Spectraphone?

[@Tazanthro]

Oh, that's weird. I litterally just bought a spectraphon then opened youtube and here we are

[@discoinfiltrator87]

😂 same. Destiny

[@pendulumdistinction2494]

Incredible. We would love to hear what you're creating with it.

[@Owofbfbajfbsnsn]

You too huh??😮

[@isaacc7]

I keep getting distracted by the STS panel behind you. I hope you will do some history and theory of Serge circuits one day.

[@pendulumdistinction2494]

The Serge modular path is quite remarkable as well.

[@robert-wr6md]

@@pendulumdistinction2494 100 Buchla to 1 Serge videos. Can you suggest any.

[@PowerSergeElectric]

I keep getting disrracted by that terrribly oversized pedal eq thing (with motorized sliders??)

[@anthonyman8008]

I literally just looked up since buchla to listen to before I scrolled down to this

[@CatFish107]

Ok, now I'm craving a 259. The tiptop reissue has been tempting me. Of course the spectral processor is drool worthy, but takes a chunk of weight out of one's wallet. Might have to make do with the options in VCV for the time being.

[@banalytic]

hi sarah! thanks for this extremely interesting video... let me ask you if you would share the noinlinear-example max/msp-patch?! all the best...

[@temporoboto]

good💙stuff

[@pixelatedbeatz]

Great job Sarah, best wishes for 2025! Thanks 4 everything

[@PapaJazmin]

Thanks for the breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@johnslater154]

@20:11 very kid a feeling

[@-crash]

What/why are those beasts in Tom’s background image?

[@TomErbe]

i gave an ai "megafauna with synthesizer in winter", and that was the result. bad zoom location so i had to use a backdrop.

[@pendulumdistinction2494]

Gift!

[@jimjarnagin5344]

Nerd on Sarah!!!❤😂

[@mrotaveria]

Damn, it was Chevy Chase polynomials all along.

[@Bubbathewheat]

Bro, I paused the video at 2 minutes to go play with my Spectraphon… and it died. Currently trying to resurrect it…

[@pendulumdistinction2494]

I'm the great folks over at Make Noise will get you sorted out. I hope you got it back up and running.

[@jenamu6]

You killed it? How?

[@Bubbathewheat]

@@jenamu6 no clue, everything was working fine the day before. I just booted up my rack as usual, and now Spectraphon won’t do anything. Hoping I can get some help troubleshooting when Make Noise is back from vacation.

[@LYFoulidis]

Bro? You mean sis?

[@Bubbathewheat]

@@LYFoulidis I wasn’t calling SBR a dude, I was making an expression of disappointment.
