Buchla Intros 3 New Modules

Buchla 200e 223e Tactile Input Port

Model 223e TACTILE INPUT PORT

You don’t care for spatial control? The 223e substitutes an innovative arpeggiator for the rings of the 222e

This three panel unit tactile sensor responds to a feather-weight touch, or to several pounds of pressure. An additional (1 panel unit) module houses the outputs, the arpeggiator controls, and the edit facility.

The tactile surface is normally mounted in the first row of a 201e-12 or 201e-18 cabinet: alternatively, it may be mounted in the recently announced 201e-3u frame, relieving spatial binds in crowded systems.

An ergonomic array of 27 keys sense pressure and velocity; fourteen respond to location in one or two dimensions. Arrayed into multiple user-defined groups ranging in size from 1 to 25 keys, they produce a variety of user-programmed control voltages.

Location, pressure, impact and tuned voltages, as well as pulses, are presented at a total of 30 outputs. The LCD based user interface is remarkably simple and flexible. The arpeggiator features multiple patterns, internal and external clocks, and many other sundry features.

All settings, including key programming, can be memorized and recalled by the 225e or 206e preset manager.

  1. Oh yeah, sure! 4600$ for a module… now that is kind of a bargain I presume. Most people will want two of these I am sure. And Buchlas are so well build and you really get an unexpensive system, that does a lot more than some Doepfer or what the hell cheap modular shit you find on the net… (pun intended)

    1. Might be true in some cases even if you don't have very high standards, but one still wonders why the heck Buchla modules are so much more expensive. Build quality, components, testing and R&D are big factors contributing to high prices, but Buchla is extreme. It's almost like they are charging you for the pleasure of owning and using one of their systems.

  2. Four people. I don't want one, I can't afford one, but it doesn't mean I'm not interested.

    Oh, and the word you were looking for is 'relevant'.

  3. BUchla modules are a bit more expensive… But not really when you consider what they do… Most of them are these crazy multi module things that would cost around the same price to do with euro… Plus you get recall, extensive midi functions, banana jacks, excellent build quality and design…. O and your synth won't lose it's value like a deeper or cheap modular will…

    And you can get a matching poster if you like.
