Ahead of Superbooth 2025, being held May 8-10 at the FEZ-Berlin, Tiptop Audio & Buchla USA have introduced two new modules in their line of Euro-format reissues of classic 200 series module designs.
The new modules include the Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator Model 248t & the Triple Envelope Follower Model 230t.
The Multiple Arbitrary Function Generator Model 248t or MARF has been described as “The Holy Grail of West Coast signal creation”.
It offers up to 32 stages of voltage storage, which can be used for many ‘arbitrary’ purposes. So you can use it as a sequencer, envelope generator, voltage processor and many other things.
The second module is the Triple Envelope Follower Model 230t, right, which produces three sets of control voltages and pulses, relative to amplitude of the signal inputs.
The 230t translates your input signal into control voltage and pulse outputs. Sensitivity and decay time can be adjusted per channel.
Buchla’s Series 200, “The Electric Music Box”, is a collection of modules, introduced in the early ’70s, that was designed to scale from portable systems, like the Music Easel, to very large modular systems. Tiptop Audio’s 200t series features recreations of the original designs, but adapted to Eurorack format.
Details on pricing and availability for the two new modules are to come at the Tiptop Audio site.
i would love to have a whole rig of these to go with my Behringer System 55 and 2500 rigs. just can’t afford to spend in this economy.
Don’t worry, Uli has your back. Behringer Enigma will be a Buchla Easel 208 clone.
yes, i’ve seen that one. should be interesting. doesn’t really help the price of the majority of a complete system though, or the esthetics of matching modules – which is a primary design esthetic for me. i am not a mix and match euro-horror-panel guy.
I completely 100% agree and well said John!
