đŸ€ŻTriggering the Buchla 400 (built in 1982 by Don Buchla) using its built-in envelope follower, with a patch made by @gastonsounds in the PATCH VI language.⁠
⁠
Upon detecting a new note onset, this patch randomly chooses between a number of pre-defined sounds and gestures. The result is a kind of unpredictable duet between the 400 and the external input, which is truly delightful (and yes, truly nerdy).⁠
⁠
Special thanks to the @buchla_archives for letting us spend time with these instruments to research and make music with them. More cominggggg soon(ish)!
