What size are the Bugbrand modules in rack U?

3U

edit: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=229161

Should be ok but you have a lot of VCO's (as per Serge paradigm) in those two panels. It is part of the modules which consumn the most.
Check if those are stable enough. If it start's getting unstable, good chances you have not enough juice and more powerfull PSU will be mandatory.

Wow thank you very much for the detailed post Bill.
This is really appreciated.

BTW - Who is the "Dave" who ran the Barber Shoppe referenced on the 297?

I instantly thought about David Rosenboom but i may be wrong.
Who knows... 'aside from the guy called "Dave" himself of course.

edit: ah, you might be well right mritenburg

Finally listening.
Great moments in there yes. Some scenes come to mind when listening (androïd's laughing, planes flying etc.).
Very nice Robert.

And the legend says that Simone is finally listening too (private joke).

Very very nice.
Can you please list up the whole mods per panels ?
Some i think i recognize (quantizer, vcas etc.) some i really don't know (NTO ?).
By PM if you'd prefer.

Beautiful !
Yes, please let us hear some sounds.
EDIT: especially the Variable Bandwidth if possible. Thanks

Should work yes.
Personnaly i wanted to get the looping function so i installed the Dunnington mod board on the program card. Recommended.

Wasn't it done upon demand ?
Feel free to email Doug and i'm sure he will get you sorted out.

Model 258 has never been released under the "e" flag officially by Buchla. It's basically a modern re-interpretation (fully compatible with "e" system !) made available by a great wiggler : http://studiohsoftware.com/ I don't think PCB has ever been available for building your own but you may want t...

If my memory serves me correctly, 2/pcs pieces was (are ?) delivered with 227r v2 but this Program Card* PCB hasn't been released on it's own.
Might be a good idea to contact Electric Music Store indeed.

*it's more an I/O routing pcb than a proper Program Card though.

It's easy to tell if an oscillator is good-sounding even if its tracking isn't well-calibrated.[...] Tweaking and calibration of the alt wave level is more important than tracking/scaling. Good sounds are not limited to melodic. Exactly. I think in the 258, the "magic" is into the modulation index ...

For what is worth i found both 258r a bit too "clean". It's somewhat like the modulation index was a bit more limited on the R than in the other versions. Something in FM wasn't doing the trick as good as others, to my opinion. It was certainly the best tracking ones (6/7 octaves w/ or w/out the Ua7...

Very true.
It's also depending on which OG 258 revision we're trying to compare to.

Vedic scape.
And to my opinion is the best sounding one.

Compared to which other 258 clone(s)?

258r Rev1 & Rev2
258v (not sure but i think it was a Rev1).
258j

Vedic scape.
And to my opinion is the best sounding one.

Thanks aethyr for confirming that point.
As for such a complete synth it's hard to get used to within few hours only.

(wish i'd have access to that 1 again though. Argh...)

Redacted

Sorry for the shame auto-promotion but we just released our annual compilation with a little obvious late timeframe. Feel free to listen /download and enjoy for free or whatever amount you think of. http://synthe-modulaire.bandcamp.com/album/compilation-2019">Compilation 2019 by Synthe-modulaire You...

I hope the MIDI response is better then the original...

Thanks for the hard work.
Look very nice with the "old-school" PHPbb style.
