Yes to behringer do what you like. It’s like the car companies 😂😂😂elitist people getting pussed musician getting availability.

No, but my OpSix can :)

Awesome insights... excellent tutorial Aaron !

Hello! I’m a beginner when it comes to pedals and electronics but I’m eager to learn. Can you simply explain why fuzz sounds generally horrible with a bass guitar?

It's Emilíana Torrini pretending to be Björk

Blah blah blah blah blah... Shut up! You like it? Then buy it. You do not? Then don't.

Did you know theres a 16op 80s Yamaha? The Electone HX-1 in solo mode on the top register can be 16 op mono on that register (it has 96 voices normally, not sure how many it loses). That thing would be right up your alley - it has so much potential but nobody on earth has truly mastered programming it, and the software only runs on Atari ST, MSX, or one DOS laptop.

3:29 Yes: FMAlgo can be totally replaced with Osc blocks set to sine waves. In fact you can also write the same thing using raw math with the Sin() function and Note:Time and Global:FreqEval (the sampling rate). But FMAlgo will be a bit higher performance and as you say, hopefully easier. BTW there's a Word manual that is 80% incomplete but has a nice chart of how to do the Yamaha DX7 algos in Moselle.

Yes ... that's Björk.

KORG Opsix has freely comfigurable 6 operator algorithms. The opreators may be oscilators , ring modulators, filters, wave shapers etc......

2:00 Moselle has had "waveshaping" penciled in for a decade. If anyone has some favorite waveshapers I should take a look at before making something dedicated, please let me know! That said, the normal math operators SelectN(), SelectLoopN(), Select(), LinFade(), LinFadeX() and Peak() do most of what the Map() module was meant to do. You can also do all sorts of waveshaping with logic and math functions. For instance IF( Signal >.5, .5, Signal) would clip the input signal. Tanh() can give classic tube-style nonlinearity as the output keeps getting higher but never quite gets to 1 no matter how high the input goes. You could run a Sawtooth LFO's Positive output into Sin() to get a "poor man's sin oscillator" and do all that kind of thing.

2:15 Without any disrespect to the Buchla engineers or the documentation effort, showing the crossed lines on config #02 and #10 wasn't strictly necessary. It would be understandable if they wanted to maintain all operators with inputs on top, outputs on bottom, as in the renowned diagrams for the DX7. The root problem, I think, is that they only had maybe 80x60 pixels or so to work with.

The intro sound. Wow. I want this. Nice algorithms.

1:26 this is a place where reaktor core does a bit better, with grouped signals, named variables that take the place of wires, and some stuff for replacing wireless grouped signals within a node group. but it does still have the limitation that you can't use code to define a system that can scale to whatever, code reuse in reaktor is basically non-existent.

On the SY77 every operator has two inputs. When not used by the algorithm a free input can be used for a user defined 2nd feedback path or even patch in a AWM part. Unfortunately they dropped these options in later FM versions, the 2nd feedback path is quite a usable feature. In a way the synth engine of the SY77/99 was more advanced than that of the Montage and MODX.

i'de love to see you talk about fm in the regen one time or another.

May God save us all

It immediately made me think of Björk.

Can you run moselle at higher sample rates / use oversampling? I ask because the digitone made me realize how much better fm sounds when the modulation is done at ultrasonic rates - the digitone uses 192khz if I'm not mistaken, and it results in much smoother and glassier tones and less of the "Sega fuzz" we traditionally associate

I think Jon Schatz in a recent update for the ID700 gives the option of more graphically discernible configurations for anyone interested. I really love that app and I'm not really into, but greatly appreciate, vsts. For what it's worth a Buchla700 reimagining would be my ultimate fantasy instrument. When I use the id700 it does help inspire my patching on my small 200e; I wish one could change out the wavetables on the 259e.

It is disingenuous that the criticism of Uli's business ethics is coming from people who ignore the ethical problems of plenty of bigger, badder corporations and executives. There is a real double standard here where synthesizer aficionados choose to amplify their outrage for this one segment of corporate behavior, while ignoring the behavior of-- for example, the companies that manufacture their smartphones, their laptops, etc. Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, etc are 1000x more evil than Behringer, but I see all of these Behringer haters using their products without any moral grandstanding against them. The feigned outrage about Behringer is beyond obnoxious. We live in a corporate dominated society. Imagine getting defensive over the "IP" of a bunch of heartless corporations that have made millions and billions of dollars, often by marketing subpar products to gullible musicians. Why should anyone really care that Behringer is cloning stuff from evil companies? The 'outsourcing' is the most morally questionable part of the situation. When you put that aside, what Behringer is doing is good. The only people who are really angry about this are corporations who want to continue ripping people off and rich gatekeepers who are witnessing the end of their pretentious sphere of interest. I am all for putting a stop to multinational corporate domination of our world, but this starts with repatriating all of our industry. Until we are making all of the components in our own nation, it's dumb to poopoo what Behringer is doing.

I need to check out Mosselle. I've been learning Pure Data over the past week or so and have fallen in love with it. I want to learn a script-based programming language like SuperCollider, but I've struggled with those in the past (like with Javascript). Mosselle looks a lot more approachable though.

The opening tones are glorious🔥🔥🔥🔥🖖nice work

Thanks, Prof. Aaron 😁

Easel 208c is an ACCESSIBLE version of instrument of Buchla world despite $3K price! 😂

Ummm maybe you shouldn't do politics but stick to explaining electronics - which you do brilliantly.

at 2.04 you mention buchla whern it's meant to be Behringer? . this was a little confusing..

As a die-hard Bjork fan, who prefers the more industrial-percussive albums that she doesn't really do anymore... I'm scared to say that i sorta prefer these to bjork's newer, more abstract stuff..

Behringer clones are not trying to rebuild the original circuitry, they're trying to replicate the sound of them with modern circuitry. In comparison videos they generally do a very good job of that too. Yeah maybe in one synth or the other it sounds worse, but generally people are very happy with the audio of their behringer clones. It's also a little funny because behringer 20 years ago was known for cheap knockoffs of DJ mixers that were actually shit quality and no one cared or took them seriously. But now that they're making higher quality products everyone is freaking out. (I think they would still be freaking out even if Uli wasn't a jackass)

I can't think of any well known piece of music where I can point to a particular sound that was made with a Buchla and say, that sound is awesome.

My guess is in the 5th second of this clip:ua-cam.com/video/ue0ntfkknUM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FredrikN%C3%A6visdal

8000Hz / 8bit was the default on some 90s era workstations and later linux /dev/dsp so thats where that comes from. We don't want to lose compatibility, right?!

Ive always wanted a Buchla music easel, but cost has always been prohibitive. Now Behringer comes along with the Enigma. I'm quite excited for this. If their other clones are anything to go by then it ought to be quite good. This along with a Microfreak, for it's keyboard I'll have as near as I'll get to an Easel and be happy with it. And I'll have a free hybrid synth in the bargain for almost a temth of the cost.

Mr. Gene Staples of Indiana Beach fame, s/b aware of this!

24 bits is perfect for muslimgauze

My favorite examples of artistic low-resolution digital sampling are on delay pedals that use a PT2399 echo chip, which was originally designed for surround sound echo/delay (with delay length typically on the order of the 10s of milliseconds). In order to use it with guitars/instruments, and have a reasonably long delay time, say 800ms-2000ms, you have to downgrade its sampling depth, which makes the longer delays distorted, and when implemented just right, gives really satisfying degenerative decays and interesting infinite loop behaviors. My favorite implementation was the Biyang Time Machine, a very cheap import circa 2008, and even then my guitarist and I each bought three of them (they were cheap and we were touring), and they each sounded awesome, but slightly different. I’ve since stocked up on PT2399s for my own projects. To hear an example of those specific pedals, look up “The Farewell Monument - Remains of Mountains” - it’s the primary effect during the latter 2/3rds of that track.

I always thought Bjork probably wasn't human. (even though one time I saw her outside the co-op bike shop near my house)

I tried to give Behringer a chance, but the Roland Eurorack clones I purchased had defective saw to triangle converters in both LFOs, so the triangle and sine outputs didn’t work. I assume they knew that and shipped them anyway. There are more reasons for distrusting Behringer than their odd marketing.

in matlab it sounds different than here even with soundsc set to take 8 bits I guess my soundcard doesn't support 8 bits, maybe? It is supposed to default to whatever your soundcard has as the default configured in the system

Yawn! If a hobbyist wants to play with Buchla stuff today, Tiptop now has a good catalog of 200t modules readily available now. Or get a Volca Modular or a West Pest. Or buy the Arturia Easel V software. Done. They all sound great and are quite reasonably priced. Have fun. Live your life. I don't understand the attraction to the *ringer hype and vapor for a mangled up knock-off that certainly won't ship for at least another year and may never ship. And if you want to know why Buchla USA hasn't lowered their prices or convinced Tiptop to drop everything and build a 208t is because there is zero overlap between this *ringer foo and their markets.

Sounds about right. Not for me.

It’s inaccurate to imply nobody can compete with MT on price because it’s exactly with tip top has done. It’s not even a comparative because TTA has scaled module versions of highly sought after Buchla designs in their own quality, and with Buchlas blessing and collaboration. All B have done is release drawings of an easel interpretation in their (jacked from moog) format and nothing else. That’s why there is no comparison. TTA is actually selling and supporting these exact concepts and the price points are very reasonable. The only comparison is B knocked off the Roland system 100 modules and sold them for too cheap, you don’t see a lot of them in the wild, and you can read there are many issues that owners deal with.

Thank you for the videos sir. As I am a new member I would request you for a electrical roadmap and more electrical concept videos. Thank you once again.

The prices for the 200e should be half of what they are now.

ou know what, i was thinking the exact same thing about roger, and the linndrum. a dsp linndrum would be so cool (and not that complicated to produce for nice cost imo). Wouldnt it be mega cool if it came out with a separate unit to record drum sounds on a chip (eprom in 2024? mass produced, there are other options) you could then replace per track on the drum machine? Alijames's work on the simmons and linn style drum generators could be a good support maybe.... oh okay your talking about the topic while i'm writing lol... i'm studying the simmons sds-9 and the sci drumtraks these days, i want to make drum circuits based on the, the ulaw eprom stuff and that "click&thump" kick aswell... Anybody seen the druid's article and technique about the topic?

So much good info here 👏👏👏👍

The family that debugs TTL hardware together stays together.

Congrats on the bring up. I'll refrain from a soldering critique but will say that I always clean the tip before each solder, every 2 or 3 joints on sockets pins. Wet sponge is fine, metal scrunchy preferred, single swipe is good, this has worked for me for 50 yrs. Those old boards probably used 63/37 solder and desolder without adding. I solder Kester 63/37 at ~200C or 400F and hardly ever use flux.

i hate elon musk but i still want a tesla. the CEO is not the one making the product, the engineers are.

Buchla has always been known as one of the highest dollar synth makers. Doubt they want to change from being an elitist company.
