The Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments is the revised version of the famous Music Easel from the same company. Typical for Buchla and Eastcoast is the sound and control concept; different from most other Analogue Synthesizers. The basic sound is created with the Complex Oscillator and the Modulation Oscillator working together. With this combination, very bass-heavy, overtone-rich Sounds are possible; these are always just one control movement away from subtle to extreme FM and AM Sounds. The generated spectrum is processed with the Dual Low-Pass Gate (LPG). The LPGs are mixable in level and lead as the last link in the Audio Chain to a Reverb Effect. In addition to a 3-Step Envelope (Attack, Sustain & Release) there is a Pulser, a Random Generator, a Sequencer that plays up to 5x Steps and of course numerous Control Voltage Inputs and Outputs.
The New 208
The Easel Command is housed in an "LEM Powered 3 Boat" case and features several innovations. The layout is now clearer and more structured and the colour scheme used has been adapted. If no Cable is plugged into the Pre-Amplifier, a White Noise is fed into the Signal Path. Also the Pulser is now manually switchable and the Oscillator Frequencies are now better scaled. The control via MIDI/USB was integrated, so the Sequencer can be integrated and besides Pitch and Note length After-Touch is converted. The Board has also been reworked, making it more service-friendly and giving it a new Power Connection. The Easel Command can be removed from its Housing and mounted together with other Modules of the 200 Series in a larger Buchla Housing.
