A two-voice track on the Buchla Easel, with stereo delay and a little reverb added externally. The idea was to generate an irregular rhythm via the “arpeggiation rate” input, while maintaining the time signature via a MIDI clock. Further patch notes in the video.
Thanks to Jean-Francois for loaning the Easel, and to my son Max for designing and making the Easel stand.
Video footage from the prairie park near my house in Iowa City.
Gear used:
Buchla Easel (2013 reissue)
Electro-Harmonix Cathedral pedal
Electro-Harmonix 95000 looper

the tape on the envelope values is low-key genius

@electrummodularmusic Год назад

Thanks, I should trademark this and market it as "modular tape"

@ArguZ72 Год назад

Very nice....incredible what a bt delay and reverb can do to lift and glue the sounds into music...

@electrummodularmusic Год назад

Indeed! The Easel sounds pretty good when it's dry, too!

@electrummodularmusic 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Steven! I experience some "oowww yeah" moments myself when I switch on the Easel and open up that crossfader - such a great instrument!

Hi Ricky! Very etherial sound - totally dig it.

@electrummodularmusic Год назад

Hey Tom, thanks for watching. For my next video I might train Ricky to play the Easel with his paws - will surely go viral!

Okay, I want one.

@electrummodularmusic 8 месяцев назад

Go ahead - you won't regret it!

I've been messing with the arturia software version, this thing is so wonderful but also incomprehensible

@electrummodularmusic 10 месяцев назад

Don't give up - it gets easier! I'd recommend Todd Barton's youtube channel for some excellent instruction.

Wow you're really know what you're doing on this machine! 🔥🔥🔥 I'm trying to record my performances like this, instead of using my phone microphone. How do you record your performances?

@electrummodularmusic 7 месяцев назад

I think I recorded this one on the Jam Man pedal that was sitting on the speaker. Not ideal really... Sometimes, I use the EHX looper to record, or the DIsting EX for 6-track recording. I should probably invest in a Zoom H4!

@goingmodular Год назад

I checked this video suggested in my feed, being curious to hear what the Easel sounded like. I am still not familiar with the machine's specific sound path and terminology, but I really liked the mood you created here. And the visual side of the video is equally great. Nice work ! How much polyphony does the Easel have ? In your piece here, I can hear up to three notes played together, at least.

@cloudfan420 Год назад

Two oscillators and two LPGs through which they can be shaped. You may be hearing the delay as an extra voice?

@electrummodularmusic Год назад

Thanks! The Easel has a maximum of two voices: there are two oscillators and two low-pass gates, one envelope but a pulser that can act as a second envelope. The perception of three voices here is the result, I think, of steps 2, 3, and 4 (on the 5-step sequencer) being higher in pitch and slurred (ie. trigger turned off, so envelope doesn't fire). So a kind of "implied polyphony".

@@electrummodularmusic Nice ! Thank you for the detailed answer.

@goingmodular Год назад

@@cloudfan420 possibly, yes. Thanks for the insight.
