Excerpt: The Buchla 200e is a modular synthesizer designed by electronic music pioneer Don Buchla and built by Buchla and Associates. The 200e is based on the earlier Model 200 system. Many of the modules in the 200e series share similar functionality and layout with Model 200 modules, and therefore have similar names. However, all of the e series modules have the ability to store and recall parameters set by the user. Another new feature the 200e adds is MIDI implementation via the 225e MIDI Decoder module. This allows 200e modules to respond to MIDI note, velocity, and controller data via internal busses. 227e System Interface Currently available 200e modules: Discontinued 200e modules: The 200e synthesizer platform includes several modules that roughly correspond to the canonical analog synthesizer's ones: But the Buchla 200e modules were not designed to fit perfectly into these categories. Rather, each module implements and crosses category boundaries according to Buchla's vision of analog synthesis. The synthesizer sound basics entry offers a helpful introduction to understanding how to compose sound. With that as background, there are two ways to think about making sounds with the 200e: the electronic view and the sonic view. Taken together, the electronic view allows us to explore the sonic properties of networks we can construct with the hardware available, while the sonic view helps us focus on how to make the electronic connections necessary to realise a sound we have heard only in our minds. Since both views begin with an oscillator, we will begin with a description of the primary modules for generating an initial pitch and timbre, the 259e and the 261e Complex Waveform Generator. Both the 259e and the 261e have two oscillators: a modulation oscillator and a principal oscillator (aka a carrier wave). The 259e can produce two distinct audio signals (one from each type of oscillator), while the 261e can also produce a pre-processed signal in each oscillator. The pre
