Buchla, Make Noise, & A History of Spectral Animation in Synthesizers

I literally just looked up since buchla to listen to before I scrolled down to this

This was super interesting, thank you for doing the work. Can't wait to mess with the Spectraphon again with a richer perspective.

Wow extremely interesting! ...A While back I attempted to create tuned ring modulator bell sounds using an EHX vocoder. The idea was to use the spectral make up of the Ring modulator bell partials and "play them" with the pitches of the guitar. Just like the guitar plays the timbre of a voice in this EHX vocoder. ....I failed. I don't understand why. Sara do you think I could succeed with the Spectraphone?

Merci pour cette belle explication. Je pense ajouter spectraphon dans un prochain panier à provisions 😍

hi sarah! thanks for this extremely interesting video... let me ask you if you would share the noinlinear-example max/msp-patch?! all the best...

good💙stuff

Damn, it was Chevy Chase polynomials all along.

Bro, I paused the video at 2 minutes to go play with my Spectraphon… and it died. Currently trying to resurrect it…

I keep getting distracted by the STS panel behind you. I hope you will do some history and theory of Serge circuits one day.

Love this.

Gift!

This is fantastic! I never would have guessed the Spectraphon worked this way and it's great to see the history and inspiration behind it. c:::

Nerd on Sarah!!!❤😂

Thanks for the breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

What/why are those beasts in Tom’s background image?

Such a good combination, of Tom understanding, and Sarah, you understanding, explaining, and performing these very fundamental ideas and this richness to sound.
Spikey, pokey things that erput, we want to play with it forever too. ♥

Great job Sarah, best wishes for 2025! Thanks 4 everything

This is an exceptional video! I am only 9 months into my Buchla life, thanks to a very generous present from a mutual friend of ours and have been enjoying your music and your videos very much as part of my education and exploration of this amazing music.

Awesome video, bring on the nerdy stuff whenever ;-)
