Description

The Arturia Buchla Easel V is a meticulous virtual recreation of Don Buchla’s iconic 1973 Music Easel, a legendary instrument that defined the “West Coast” approach to modular synthesis. The plugin captures the unique and experimental spirit of the original hardware, focusing on complex, evolving timbres rather than traditional musical scales. It features a component-level model of the Buchla’s oscillators, dual Low Pass Gates, and spring reverb, while adding modern enhancements like up to four voices of polyphony, an advanced step sequencer, a “Gravity” XY modulation source, and a suite of onboard effects. The Buchla Easel V is a powerful tool for sound designers and adventurous musicians looking to explore a world of shifting, organic, and often chaotic soundscapes.
