Had an insightful Skype tutorial session on the 256e with Leo Espejo! Afterwards I tweaked the fun patch that we had discovered into this little beat exploration.  Pulses and CVs coming from 281e and Mod Osc processed through two channels of the 256e then feed into the 261e and 292e.

256e Beat Play

Buchla Cant Get Enough

The first few seconds of audio to emerge from Brian Kehew's 1979 Crumar GDS after awakening for the first time during restoration of this extremely rare groundbreaking early digital synthesizer.    The GDS was extensively used by Wendy Carlos in the production of the soundtrack for the film Tron.

Buchla Market

Prototype osc unfiltered sine/saw, unfiltered sine/squ bass kick (250e pulse to osc input), and 266e+291e noise (snare).

Heavy Bass Beat

259e and 292e

12 minutes of cool Buchla rhythmic stuff.  Recorded live--just tweaking as it goes, one pass.
