Tutorials | Buchla Easel V - Episode 1: Overview

[@CharlesFerraro]

I think that's the most realistic looking GUI I've ever seen. I thought I was looking at hardware for a second there.

Just bought in your Feb 2022 sale and love it, especially with my Expressive E Touche.

[@valdiskrebs566]

Very cool ... I would like to see this on iOS ... would work great with iSEM and Model 15 and Animoog on that platform.

[@insomniamachine8452]

Hell yeah. Good tutorial! Nice and clear.

[@gkillmaster]

Perfect concise intro. Thanks so much for this!

A low pass gate is not a low pass filter. It's a vca mixed with a low pass filter essentially. They're two different things.

Ha, the man works now for ASM and is the one behind the hydra synth.

awesome! thank you!!

[@artao5]

OH WOW! Very cool. Big announcement eh? This youtube video is the first I've heard of it.

Not easy at first, because of the non substractive nature of this synth, it's more like an additive or fm synth with modular ability, i need time to understand it, it's definitly unique and made for kind of tangerine dream music.

@2:48 how are you moving two sliders at once?? I imagine you have them mapped to a midi controller? And, if so, which one are you using? I count 22 would be needed if you wanted one for each.

[@JA-gt8cr]

I see your question wasn't answered but almost certainly he was using a midi controller. I've seen it work perfectly with various Arturia and Korg controllers. I haven't tried but I think some of the switches can be remotely controlled with a midi-mapped knob or fader and the switches that only have two states, could probably be mapped to a button. I would try to find something with knobs, faders, and buttons just for compactness. Faders are always nice since it's easier to handle a few at a time but a lot of knobs are not things you would tend to actively adjust ongoing in performance, the easel is so smart the way it's designed to be played. Also, there are 29 total knobs + faders and what looks to be 9 or10 switches that are more than 2 states possible, plus 6 more that I think only have 2 states (so potentially mappable to a button). If you find something that works well I'd love to hear about it.

Could someone please elaborate for why chan. A dips? Sorry, I’m pretty new to synth stuff

[@motoservo]

It's Pulser. Not Pulsar (as shown on the vernacular translation overlay during the video). Also, not sure if it was an oversight, but the wavefolder (timbre) is only supposed to affect the Sine, not the other side, too. But otherwise, great work! Having a lot of fun with it.

Here are init presets in your synth?? thanks good work Arturia.
