Buchla 144 & Touch Voltage Sources

This video uses just one Buchla 144 to create all these sounds .....with a little help from the following other modules:

110 - Dual VC Gate (Two voltage controlled amplifiers)
194 - Fixed Bandpass Filter
190 - Reverb -" the sound" of the System 100
106 - six channel mixer.
156 - Dual Control Voltage Processor (to mix, compress and invert control voltages)
107 - voltage Controlled Mixer
123 - Sequential Voltage source (in other words it's a sequencer).
140 - timing pulse generator (It's the Clock).
114 - Ten touch-controlled voltage sources (capacitive keyboard). Each also plate has it's own AD envelope
180 - Dual Attack Generator.
and a Touch Activated voltage source - care of Jason Butcher. similar to a 112 &/or 216


The basic patch uses one dual 144 VCO.
One VCO supplies all the sounds.
The second VCO FMs & AMs the first.



                      Jason Butcher"s Touch Voltage Source. Inspired by the Buchla 112 & 216
The CV from the Butcher 112 & the 114 is mixed/inverted by the 156 and modulates the left 144.
The right 144 provides the sounds. It's sequenced by the 123.

All audio is processed via the 194 filter and then 190 reverb.

The 114 opens/closes the 107 mixer. (they are a great combo).
112 transposes pitch.
