Re: [wiardgroup] 248 Buchla MARF - Discriminator ?!?

2002-03-08 by mark verbos

The Buchla 248 is a module that has 16 stages of 2 sliders and 8 bits of 
switched data on each step. then you have a series of output channels 
that can independantly address the stages. Among the 8 bits of data are 
sloped/stepped, 2 trigger outs, voltage and time ranges, 
quantzed/continuous voltage, external inputs select, 
sustain/start/end/enable. In the end, you can use any section of the 
stages as any kind of envelope or  sequencer imaginable.

in Grant's "MARF MODE" he makes it possible to make a sloped sequence, 
or multistage envelope out of any sequencer. That's a function that was 
unique to the 248, envelopes of up to 16 stages in length with any stage 
being the sustain stage and all slope times and peak voltages controllable.

it's the coolest analog module around I think.
