I have two custom Serge panels and a panel of Buchla 200e. I am about to set up a small rack with one Serge and one Buchla panel with a thin strip of attenuators and 1/8-> banana converters.
My initial experiments with using these two together has been quite rewarding and the cross pollination of Serge and Buchla is amazing...to me. Running Serge audio into Lowpass Gates and Buchla 261e osc into Serge filters sounds tres' cool.
As I have mentioned, the thing you need to be most aware of is Buchla CV's are not bipolar...they go from 0 to +10v so you need to keep this in mind as negative going CV just does nothing (say a S/H that is centered around 0v going +/- etc.
Its worth noting that I never do anything that is tonal/tuned so if that is your intention your results may vary. Using a TKB with the Buchla should work just fine as it goes 0 to +10 yes? (Don't recall). The only other thing is Buchla Envelopes need +10 triggers...and using a 281 with the Serge is also wonderful....they are snappy and the retrigger capability is much different than using a Dual Trans/DSUG as an envelope.
Hope this info is helpful...
