Adjacent Figures

A piece made with Buchla 200e, 259e is doing the main sequence after going to 291e also sequenced with its own sequencer, the melody is 261e and 262v is adding some "noises". Everyday i feel a deeper live for 223e is such a nice way of playing the synth it makes it feel like normal instrument to me, sometimes you have to stay really focus to program it, as it could take a while….. i really need to touch.



This one is called "Adjacent Figures", sound going straight from the system to DAW. no processing.

Pulses and Drones

After reading some texts about Morton Subotnick's work with, what he called, "Ghost Tracks" i decided to improve an old Max 6 project to send CV to my system, with Mira for Max this could be really fun as you can draw the shape of the voltages with your fingers and send them to the synth.

In this video, which is a first experiment, you can see the iPad with part of the interface of the Max's patch

Rhythmic Divertimentos

Using the amazing Eardrill Pendulum Ratchet to generate rhythms with some noise from 266e and random melodies from 261e. Just having lots of fun.

Two different versions of the same patch.

Misunderstanding Series


I've felt in the tramp of consumerism, and sometimes i have bought more modules than my brain and time allow me to fully understand and most of the time i know i'm not using many functions on those modules or not taking profit of some nice sounds they can produce.

That's the reason why i have think in a series of improvised and recorded in one take studies (obviously they are intended to be as musical as possible) made using only one sound source, this source can be one oscillator simple or dual or any sound source, that can be processed in any way, with virtual effects or with hardware effects i.e. Filters, loopers, delays, frequency shifters, phase shifters, etc.


They are titled: Misunderstanding Series.

Going 200e

I regret i have abandoned this blog, as is a real god place for me to have a "note book" of my work, projects and why not steps forward or back.

Last february i decided to upgrade to Buchla, the original format i was thinking of when i started in the world of modular synths, but no, i don't regret of my first choice, Eurorack, as it's a constantly growing format full of creative and high quality designers.

So after three long, long months i received this picture from BEMI:


But i added some 2nd hand modules bought to a fellow wiggler and some Eardrill modules, Pendulum Ratchet, and a ModuleModule chassis with Morphun and MM-Atten. The system looks like this:


So, sleepless summer nights ahead........

Cwejman MMF-2 stereo multimode filter

Recently i received some new and amazing modules like the brand new Cwejman MMF-2, Make Noise Echophone and DPO. Only with this three monsters the pallet of sounds in my system grew in an exponential way just as the need for experimentation and exploration. So my first experiments started with Cwejman MMF-2 which is a dual stereo multimode filter, that can be use not only as a synth filter but also as a postproduction tool, because of its great quality and possibilities.

Here are some demos i made of the Cwejman MMF-2, i prefer not to talk about its features because Wowa (its creator) can talk about it better than me.



Soon I'll add another more experimental demo with this amazing filter.......
