Sunday Synth Jam: This video, via Peter Maas, captures a synth jam, Chicago Love, that explores using the Buchla Music Easel in a context in which it’s rarely heard – old school techno.
Maas notes this about the set up: “TR707 triggering the buchla easel to generate a typical old skool chicago house track. Some delay and reverb added in ableton live but “live” recording.’
like taking a ferrari to go to the supermarket
Somewhat refreshing after about 1000 Buchla burble and fart videos.
Not bad at all. People need to stop snobing about their ferraris
Not really
.
If you have a ferrari, and want to go to the supermarket, why not? If this guy has a buchla, and feels like playing techno once in a while, why not use this for it? Whatever it is that you’ve typed this comment out on has substansially more processing power than it took to get man on the moon, yet you don’t seem to have any qualms about using it to post random comments on websites.
Pity …
So Buchla synths CAN play in tune, after all
A synth worth thousands and THAT’S the bass line you do?? Really?
you can´t buy talent, taste nor experience.
Oh come on, take it easy….
Yes!
well that video is a mirror image, everything is reversed ??????
..well… the audio isn´t reversed…it is really hard to watch this video reversed, isn´t it? c´mon….
I thought this was great.
All the negative posters should post something of theirs instead of ripping this guy apart.
I sense jealousy that he’s got a Buchla.
Not jealousy, boredom.
A bit more multitracking and synth percussion like cowbell please and this would be really good.
Nice FM-like bass but there are millions like these.
I appreciate getting to hear what the Buchla Easel sounds like for Bass!
Don’t forget the true star here…The 707! The bass would have been even more inadequate without that burn down the house machine, justifying it!
The 707 has been the beating heart of my studio since 1989. Truly a great music machine.
forget about the Buchla, this got me searching for a 707 again
I agree that it’s nice to see a Buchla do something other than fart and tinkle but regardless of the synth being used this is a pretty dull track.
