I see the 256e as more comparable to the Mixolator.  Since the 
Mixolator is inspired by the Buchla Dual Control Voltage Processor 
Model 257, the whole pickle becomes a practical oroboros of inspiration.

I think Buchla ran out of numbers.  Given the feature set of the 261e 
it looks like a cross between the 259e and the 208 oscillators.  Maybe 
208e or 258e would be more appropriate?  Than again, Buchla seems like 
a forward looking person, so moving backwards in numbering doesn't seem 
to fit his philosophy.
