Buchla 200e and Genoqs Octopus

[Keysforge]

Madness, I hate patch with wires.

Good demo.

[EtherealBeatnik]

This is incredible.

[hyperguy61]

@EtherealBeatnik Thank you!

[bravemicrowave]

modulars give me boner

[CoolColJ]

E-Peen

[cullyvan]

Expensive. Pretty. Sounds like shit. So far.

[Unoshin]

only good demo of octopus

[SynthPlaysYou]

Sounds and looks great.

[PoopOverdrive]

Beautiful.

[4Esoteric4Dolphana4]

This is amazing :) I love this! Do you mind if I sample some of this into a song?

[hyperguy61]

@4Esoteric4Dolphana4 You can sample it , but maybe give me a shout out. And let me hear what you do with it. Thanks. Joe

[4Esoteric4Dolphana4]

@hyperguy61 Thank you, I will definitely make sure you are mentioned! :)

[brainac0cult]

WHY GOD WHYYY!!

[Triames]

Beautiful, keep them coming :)

[Damczok]

sound laboratory ;)

[kickofighto]

how much money do you have man?! This is great!

[twintron]

Wow did you win the lottery or something. That looks and sounds amazing. I would love to own one. Hopefully some day i will..

[hyperguy61]

@twintron Thank you for the nice comments. I also hope you will own some of these fantastic instruments some day !

[mindstormsabrewin]

It's like a Christmas tree that reads your mind!

[kurnilse]

What's the point?

[flowerpower111]

Buchla thing looks expensive. I estimate 10k. Am I close?

[hyperguy61]

@flowerpower111 The Buchla that is visible , 200e , would cost about $22,000 in this particular configuration.

[flowerpower111]

@hyperguy61 wow. that making it the most efficient synth around? i dunno

[thrcman]

@flowerpower111 My Buchla set me back $31 000. :/

Incredibly enough its worth every penny.

[keesvangelis]

this is great sound and equipment

[TheHexeract]

All it needs is a fat kick drum and some sidechain compression.

[trancestate101]

haha this looks sooo complicated ! but I like it.

[trancestate101]

haha this looks sooo complicated ! but I like it.

[jamessfromtx]

Sounds like math

[gregasterisk]

you're rich

[selulancie]

holy moly, more advanced than an aliens space ship!

[spongah]

what planet was this on?!?

[empirix]

Brilliant! The two pieces of gear i lust after - maybe one day! I have just purchased a nemo and a doepfer a-100 system, can't wait for them to be delivered :)

[BrontoScorpioMusic]

Looks like a dream team!

[faunflynn]

Cool stuff indeed. Sounds like the source of uncertainty is working well.

I'd love to see more of the stuff you can do with these recondite devices.

[mindphlux]

sounds awesome and looks awesome

[hyperguy61]

Thank you :)

[willmasahiro]

You liked the way that sounded big92078? Everytime I watch a video about the buchla, they always sound like racket. I would really like to see one video that showcases a beautiful sequence that justifies the $20,000 + price tag.

Not to be negative, but seriously...

OCTOPUS FOREVER : }

[hyperguy61]

i respect your opinion , but always remember , one mans racket is another mans symphony :)

[NiceAndCivilized]

@hyperguy61

All of your videos are insanely good. I can't get over the sounds you've orchestrated. The sounds are immense, but the actual SOUND of the videos could be improved dramatically. A simple audio interface is not expensive at all.

Again, great videos and sounds.

[hyperguy61]

@NiceAndCivilized thanks for the nice comments , and the critique of the audio :) I know I need to do a better job , I was just so excited to put this up when I got the octopus , I couldn't wait! The last video that I did , used direct audio. As will my future postings. Thank you for listening and chiming in :)

[Subtronik]

Good stuff. It's making me very interested in modular systems now.

[kivon77]

hyperguy, first off, it's amazing. Seriously. I know a lot of people think that it's bleeps and bloops but there's a lot more going on than that. Second, if you don't mind me asking, do you work for a university or did you flat out spend a whole lot of money for it. If I were rich, I would definitely own one. I'm totally drooling over the 222e!!! (for a cool $19,650...)

[hyperguy61]

glad you like it! i dont mind you asking. these are my instruments that i purchased myself. btw , i dont think i'm rich , but i guess that's all relative . i have second 200e system on the way which includes the 222e. i'll post more vids with it when i get it.

[kivon77]

Ha! Good point with rich being relative. I'm just used to seeing instruments (keyboards, guitars etc.) in the $3000 to $5000 price range so when I went to the Buchla site it was a bit of sticker shock. I can't wait to see more videos of these amazing instruments!! Thanks for posting man.

[MincentValloy]

i saw a few months ago mr buchla is selling new models on his website... i wonder if he´s still making those

[kipptumor]

Two of the most fascinating gadgets ever made side by side! I would have a hard time leaving the house.

[Synthtrack]

Yeah, let the machines do the work.

[subclonk]

I like the sounds. metal on metal sounds in there too

[juggalo56]

How much are those synthesizerS?

[Neyowolf]

Why do people insist on making bloop music with a modular

[hyperguy61]

I can't speak for others , but i make the kind of music i like with the instruments i own.

[Neyowolf]

I think it sounds good

[hyperguy61]

thank you

[birdrocktom]

is that your buchla 100? is it compatible with the 200e?

[hyperguy61]

yes , the 100 is mine and it is compatible with the 200e to a point. the c.v. range on the 100 is 0 - 15 volts and on the 200e it is 0 - 10 volts. so the you dont have access to the full range of the 100 when being controlled by the 200e. the pulses are 15 volts on the 100 and only 10 volts on the 200e . so i try not to pulse the 200e with the 100's pulses even though it works fine. pulses work in the other direction , but not always ....

[birdrocktom]

thanks a ton for the info - we have a 100 series (i work at a univ. music dept.) and possible funding for a 200e. this looks like it would be a great combo for the students.

[stayonpoint]

I love you.

[frankothemountain]

That thing is wicked! Youtube converts to mono. Also they boost +3 db, so dont mix too hot. Computer mixing is just like regular stuff. Don't leave faders up that your not using, etc. When did you get this monstrosity!?

[thamitri]

more more more! :-) The noises are very interesting. Also the combination with the genoqs.

[hogberto]

just switch off the sound, it's irrelevant.

[bostich1]

great!!

[lundijuno106]

awesome, man

[nailosity]

Awesome - I can totally DIG it, man. The audio isn't really that bad...!
