Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments Easel Command
Buchla Electronic Musical Instruments Music Easel (Retro)
The Buchla Music Easel (Modern) is a reissue of the famous original Music Easel from 1973 and uses the two main components Easel Command and LEM218. The capacitive touch controller and the extraordinary analogue synthesizer have been modernized in some aspects and exciting details have been added. Today, as in the past, the Music Easel is presented in a high-quality, beautiful case with a few extras. The EMBIO module provides MIDI-Out (mini jack and USB) and CV/Gate-Out from the LEM218, MIDI-In to and Audio-Out from the Easel Command. Further creative possibilities are offered by the audio mixer for integration with other Buchla modules and systems, and the CV conditioners and knobs. Use the Slew control to turn your sequencer into a wavy modulator or smooth a square waveform LFO. The attenuator and crossfader let you generate new levels and voltage combinations from existing levels. The pulse converter provides new rhythms to trigger. A simple LFO is also integrated in EMBIO.
The Easel Command aka 208C is the revised version of the famous Music Easel from the same house. Typical for Buchla and the resulting Westcoast philosophy is the sound and control concept; a different one than most other analogue synthesizers. The basic sound is formed with the Complex Oscillator and the Modulation Oscillator together. With this combination, very bass-heavy, but also very overtone-rich sounds are possible; these are always just one knob movement away from subtle to extreme FM and AM sounds. The generated spectrum is processed with the dual Lowpass Gate (LPG). The LPGs are mixable in level and lead to a reverb effect as the last link in the audio chain. In addition to a three-stage envelope (attack,
The LEM218 is a touch-sensitive keyboard controller. Capacitive touch controllers have a long tradition at Buchla, dating back to 1973. The 29 capacitive keys produce a well-controllable touch dynamic despite 0mm travel. The longitudinally mounted touch strip functions as a modulation wheel. To play notes, it is sufficient to simply place the finger on the key without applying pressure. This opens up new playing techniques that are perfectly suited for expressionistic respectively generative music. The arpeggiator has its own clock, but can also be synchronized to MIDI, USB or a Buchla pulse. The Preset Voltage Source generates four adjustable control voltages, one of which can be active at the same time. The selection is done via the buttons below; pressing the buttons generates a pulse at the same time. The
