The Buchla Music Easel is my favorite instrument. It is endless in its possibilities and at the same time hands-on. It never ceases to amaze me. I have plenty of other gear, but for its sheer form factor to utility value and its coolness it is my island synth. I have done a lot of JAMuary pieces with it, a cocoquantus, Push 3 and Model1. Killer setup!
Just got the buchla, I barely know what I’m doing and 99% of the time I love the results. It’s just so so so fun to jam with and tweak and see what comes out. Ordered the LEM 2 days ago and can’t wait for it. Seems like it makes it that much more fun!
I don't have a Command Module but quite interested in the LEM as a controller for desktop synths (particularly the Iridium and Super 6). I'm assuming that all the functionality you are outlining in the video is addressable via MIDI? For the hold function; is that something that could be triggered through a sustain pedal? They've surely thought of that. Also, I'd love to see you get the LEM and then mount the Command and it in the Buchla silver case as a complete instrument then make videos of you carrying it around Europe and setting up in random city plazas to play (dressed in a black suit with classic sunglasses).
+1 for thumbnail Federico! Great reference to your previous video ✅staring face ✅pointing finger ✅red arrow Congratulations, now you are finally a real synthfluencer! :)
These keyboards have special outputs for the buchla plus the “octave” switches double as “preset voltage” sources. It’s specially designed to work in the buchla environment. Keystep pro is my favorite controller for everything else though. But it’s worth it to use the LEM with the buchla
from what i can hear you didn't embrace the Easel yet. The sounds you present here are not different to your usual sounds i know from you. To me the Easel was really changing the way i make music and my music sounds.
Hey no offence but you keep posting new ultimate setups and videos (that I enjoy) every week and then videos about being productive artistically and that you are struggling with this aspect. How about you focus on some setup with which you can express for a while? Just an opinion. It's starting to feel like it's just about making "this amazing life-changing setup" every week video...
@@Bibblebabbler That's very narrow minded & negative claim to make, everyone's taste is so subjective, and you assume you can dish out narcissistic awards to people whose music you don't like? Let's put Oora's music aside for a moment (I love it), even if he never released any music and only made videos, he has killer taste in gear (Very glad to see the Easel in use again), and always expresses some brilliant points that any artist of any medium can apply to their work. Get over yourself, maybe stop commenting on videos you don't even appreciate and focus on your own music, which doesn't seem to exist from what I could find..?
Hey there, I understand your concern, but please realize that this is also my line of job. Plus I own the Buchla since 3/4 year, nothing new. My setups always revolves around the same few things. I dong demo most of the new things that come out. But man, I need to make some money or traffic, so forgive me if sometime I might repeat myself.
