I doubt the electronics Don used in the modules were cheap 30 years ago...this was a time
where LEDS could cost $20 each!
he has always pushed the envelope and didnt have the luxury of basing his designs on other
peoples synth circuits when he was developing his system in the 60's and 70's. Buchla
developed a lot of the concepts that you guys are taking for granted.. where would electronic
music be today without the envelope generator or those pesky sequencers? I would like to
see Paul break some ground and I am sure he has it in him.
I think the idea of adding some buchla funk to the MOTM line is cool but I also think Pauls new
ideas are more interesting and a better use of his time and talents. Why rehash something
when you have the gift to develop something new? thats REAL "buchla inspiration" in my
opinion.
Paul - just a quick side note, you may want to call Don and discuss your ideas with him regarding
the new line... I doubt he would mind you doing this but I am sure he'd appreciate a heads up....
I am pretty sure Cynthia called him and told him her plans before she went ahead with the
QLPG clone.
personally, I think the MOTM system could use some red and blue knobs.. that whole white
legend, black panel thing has kinda been over killed in the last 30 years :)
