The "Ratchet" in Pendulum/Ratchet(3rd Party Pleasures)

I felt like exploring some of the other offerings in the world of Buchla 200. The Kilpatrick K4816 Pattern Generator is running the show. I've got the Eardrill Pendulum/Ratchet (P/R) employed as a Burst Generator. Whoo-Hoo! "Burst" and "Pattern" Generators in one go.
You'll notice that I've also leveraged the thoughtful design layout of the P/R wherein the Buchla 266e Source of Uncertainty (SOU) is merely a shorting bar away. In this case, I'm having the SOU change the density of pulses from the "Tock" output and am also having it change the speed of the P/R's clock. This varies things up quite nicely.

The Eardrill Pulse Balloons module is acting as a Pulse Train limiter and A/D Generator (yes, that's 3 function generators in total now). It is triggering the 2nd 261e dual oscillator's 292e LPG. It is also simultaneously varying the Modulation Index of the oscillator.

Special cameo appearances from the ladies in my life. Better audio is posted on the almighty Muffwiggler forum as I'm too lazy to lay the audio in here.

A good guide to making your own bongo sounds is detailed in the YouTube video by Make Noise. Just search for "QMMG Make Noise bongo" and you'll find it.
