Exploring the 1st Buchla 100 Modular Synthesizer Sarah Belle Reid 2024-02-02 | This video is a historical, technical, and musical deep dive into the Buchla 100 Series Modular System at the Mills College Center for Contemporary Music. This instrument was the first voltage controllable modular synthesizer built by Don Buchla—it was delivered to the San Francisco Tape Music Center in the mid-1960s.In this video we’ll start with a brief historical overview of the Buchla 100 Series Modular System and the San Francisco Tape Music Center. Then, we’ll unpack everything that’s inside the instrument module by module. Finally, I’ll share some of the quirks of this particular instrument, and lots of patch examples to illustrate its unique voice and character. As I was getting to know this instrument, I tried to keep in mind the circumstances surrounding its development—the people who contributed to it, the time in which it emerged, and the state of electronic music at the time of its invention. These thoughts greatly inspired my approach to working with the instrument and are present throughout this video.It’s a rare opportunity to be able to work with a historical instrument like this one. I have always been super inspired by Buchla’s work in general, but like many people have had few opportunities to work with his original instruments. Instead, much of my experience has been through newer instruments inspired by his designs. Being able to work closely with this instrument was an incredibly inspiring and clarifying experience that allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of Buchla’s own creative and technical development, as well as the multitude of music, modern modules, and instruments that have been inspired by his work.Special thank you to Mills College for letting us spend a week in the electronic music studio working with the Buchla 100; to The Buchla Archives and Ryan Gaston for helping to put this video together; and also to all of the amazing folks in my Patreon community for your support in helping to bring educational projects like this one to life!Learn more / join the waitlist for Learning Sound and Synthesis, my online modular synthesis and sound design class: soundandsynthesis.comJoin my Patreon community for behind-the-scenes content, unreleased music, and extended tutorials: patreon.com/sarahbellereidThank you to:Mills College Center for Contemporary Music https://www.performingarts.mills.eduThe Buchla Archives buchlaarchives.comRyan Gaston (co-producing + filming) ryangastonmusic.comHainbach (tape slicing footage) youtube.com/hainbach TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Historical Overview: Buchla 100 + the San Francisco Tape Music Center7:38 Mills Buchla 100 System Overview14:27 Timbre in the Mills Buchla 10018:29 Chaos in the Mills Buchla 10021:52 Voltage Control Quirks25:00 Sequencing Tactics: Triggered Segments30:40 Sequencing Tactics: Extended Sequences32:06 More Patches + Sounds32:36 Ring Modulated Reverb Patch34:40 Keyboard Chaos Patch36:55 Gated Voice Patch38:29 Wonky Drum Machine Patch38:57 Triggered Gestures Patch39:14 Transposed FM Sequence Patch39:48 Bell Tones Patch40:27 Touch Controlled Ratchet Patch41:00 Sequenced Melodic Patch Sarah Belle Reid is a performer-composer, active in the fields of electroacoustic trumpet performance, intermedia arts, music technology, and improvisation. www.sarahbellereid.com

Feedback Techniques w/ Effect Pedals (feat. Fairfield Circuitry Hors dOeuvre?) Sarah Belle Reid 2022-11-03 | Feedback patching is the process of routing a device’s outputs back into its own inputs to create feedback loops, turning simple audio utilities and processors like mixers and effect pedals into dynamic, playable instruments. This technique is similar to no input mixing, a technique pioneered by Toshimaru Nakamura, which involves creating chaotic sound on a mixer by self-patching to cause the mixer to self-oscillate.In this video, I’ll explore some feedback patching techniques using the Fairfield Circuitry Hors d'Oeuvre? active feedback loop pedal in combination with other FX pedals, to create noisy, textural, & chaotic sounds. I’ll explain what the Hors d'Oeuvre? pedal is and how it works—and I’ll share a bunch of ideas for creating feedback-based patches both with and without external input / modulation from other instruments.

Expanding Your Modular Synth with Guitar Effects Pedals Sarah Belle Reid 2021-10-21 | In this video I walk through the basics of using guitar effects pedals with modular or semi-modular synthesizers. I’ll go over why effects pedals can be a great addition to your Eurorack setup, how to optimize signal levels between your synth and pedals (and other technical considerations), which kinds of effects work best with modulars, and how expression pedals, control voltage, and modulation work when interfacing between FX pedals and synthesizers.Check out the free course "Your 1st Modular Synth Patch" mentioned in this video:www.soundandsynthesis.com/firstpatchEnroll / Join the Waitlist for my full online modular synthesis course and coaching program Learning Sound & Synthesis (opens 2x/year):www.soundandsynthesis.comLearn More / Buy an Effects Pedal (affiliate links help out my channel—thank you!)--EFFECTS PEDALS--WMD Protostar: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Fwmd-protostar.htmlElectro-Harmonix Ring Thing: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Felectro-harmonix-ring-thing.htmlElectro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Boy: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Felectro-harmonix-deluxe-memory-boy.htmlRed Panda Tensor: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Fred-panda-tensor-time-warping-effects-pedal.html--CABLES--Floating Ring Cable: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Fexpert-sleepers-fr-200-1-4-trs-to-3-5mm-ts-cable.htmlRight Angle Low Profile Guitar Patch Cables: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Fhosa-irg-600-5.html--PEDAL INTERFACE MODULES--ALM S.B.G: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Falm-busy-circuits-sbg.htmlMalekko SND/RTN: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Fmalekko-snd-rtn.htmlXaoc Devices SEWASTOPOL II: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Fxaoc-sewastopol-ii-black-panel.htmlDoepfer A-138d Crossfader / Effect Insert Module: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Fdoepfer-a-138d.htmlADDAC200PI Pedal Integrator: link.perfectcircuit.com/t/v1/S0BERUlFSUBFSEZMREZATEpITA?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perfectcircuit.com%2Faddac-200pi.htmlVideo Timestamps:00:00 Introduction + Overview02:23 Why Pedals?05:24 Optimizing Signal Levels10:47 Will I Damage Anything?11:53 Effects Pedals Overview12:52 Time-Based Effects (Delay, Reverb, Granular, etc.)14:29 Pitch-Based Effects (Pitch/Freq Shifters, Ring Mod, etc.)18:12 Spectral Effects (Filters, Wahs, etc.)19:11 Amplitude-Based Effects (Distortion, Fuzz, etc.)25:08 Expression Pedals + Inputs34:45 Recap + SummaryFor extra tutorials, behind the scenes content, and to support my channel, join our wonderful community on Patreon:patreon.com/sarahbellereidNOTE: This description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned/used in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.

What is a Fixed Filter Bank? | Chaos + Control with Zlob VC F3DB Sarah Belle Reid 2021-07-29 | In this video, we explore the history of fixed filter banks in synthesizers (what they are, how they work), demonstrate some classic fixed filter bank concepts, and then dive into a series of patch examples exploring the Zlob Modular VC F3DB.Zlob Modular's VC F3DB is a filter bank for Eurorack modular synthesizers. But it's much more than just that as well; while it can produce the clean, dry, nasal tones you might expect from a classic Moog or Buchla filter bank, it is designed to leverage feedback, clipping, and per-band envelope followers, allowing it to act as a chaotic sound source, spectral decoder, and intense distortion.To access extended audio from this video (aaand there's a lot of it!), check out my Patreon page!
