(but ohhh the sound and the fun! I love the wiard!)Ģ00e - "square waves bouncing against the sides of a petri dish" (gotta give REX the credit for that one) Its not what I call analog when I hear it.if your into the 'analog sound', i'd say its not for you. ![]() and a pain in the ass when you have a basic 6u system. Lack of attenuation is a major over site. Wiard = like a Ferrari that can only go 55 mph. Would you rather have Buchla 200e, or Serge? Howabout with a 5-8k budget, and why? Or wait 5 more years for whatever paradigm shift blows all this out of the water! But I just can't see myself putting that kind of money into a synth for at least 5-10 years, if ever.Įh maybe I should just track down a Thunder! Or get a Haken and learn more Max and call it a day. essentially, a "legendary" thing that is likely to hold its value more than Serge. Though I think I'd get more bang for the buck with a Serge budget under 10k.īut once someone sinks 20k into Buchla. It'd probably be intensely difficult to gig with Serge. Buchla seems like that Lego monorail that existed when I was a kid that I've always wanted, whereas Serge is like a stainless steel erector set. I feel each system is probably dense and complex in different ways. BUCHLA! Its NUTS to think I could own some Buchla modules. Still, there is a part of me that feels weird thinking about putting money into Serge. Exactly the kind of bug-squish-warp-music I've been getting into. And how surprising! There is a squishy-aliveness ripping from my speakers on all the Serge demos I hear. I suspect I could grow to love it evenīut the banana fever got me listening closely to Serge stuff for the first time. My ears and heart are stuck in a certain aesthetic, and he's got the foresight to build an expressive modern instrument with modern tools. I think Buchla is just even more ahead of the curve than I am. ![]() It isn't to say plastic is inherently bad. Dumbfounding parameter depth and intelligent tweak-ability. The sound reminds me of how I feel about the Machinedrum. This was mostly becauseġ) I've been getting more interested in the the idea of expressive instrumentsĢ) I've came to understand and deeply admire Buchla's philosophyģ) I'm wondering how much longer one will be able to buy a modular synth from Don Buchlaīut after listening to every recording out there, and reading for days on the 200e yahoo group. Like many, Buchla's 200e has been on the top of my fantasy list forever.įor some stupid reasons, I started obsessing about working on one.
