yesterday i did the thing i do every 6 months: inocculated myself against buying a Buchla Music Easel, by actually trying to play one. this time around it made sub-audible clicking sounds that refused to follow the pitch of the keys. fuck the Buchla Music Easel - ThreadSky

Still watching the vid.
Seems so simple & easy to use....

I built one up a few years ago, definitely takes a bit of practice and I’m always still learning. Todd Barton has some great videos for starting out.

palacetapes.bsky.social•22 hours ago

i think i'd really enjoy it once i'd learned it tbf but other people have mastered it and even made it their trademark sound so i'd forever be trying to imitate them and failing

ronharrity.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Haha totally fair. It’s very distinctive for sure.

Just buy a synth which has thousands of presets

The mc/202 patch is pretty fucking mint

i don't even know if you're joking - Roland seem to put the Zen-Core engine in everything now

besides which, between @catebrooksmusic.bsky.social , Kaitlyn Aurelia-Smith, Alessandro Cortini, and Charles Cohen, other people have got the Easel sounds absolutely perfected anyway so i'd be forever disappointed

Looks very complicated and at around £5k, not for me.
The fact that I can’t find play any instrument is also a problem 😁

palacetapes.bsky.social•22 hours ago

they do a £2.5k "Easel Command" version without the keyboard. @tony-surgeon.bsky.social uses/used to use one live i believe
