]]> Buchla and TipTop Audio 259t Eurorack Complex Waveform Generator Module https://www.elevatorsound.com/product/buchla-and-tiptop-audio-259t-eurorack-complex-waveform-generator-module/ Thu, 17 Oct 2024 14:49:17 +0000 https://www.elevatorsound.com/?post_type=product&p=94201 The 259t is the largest and most complex analogue oscillator from Don Buchla’s legendary 200 modular synthesiser. The 259 originated the concept of the “Complex Oscillator” in the 1970s and has been reissued by Buchla and Tiptop Audio in Eurorack format. The module consists of two oscillators, called the Modulator and Principal, with a middle section that provides voltage control over the internal modulation paths between the two oscillators, resulting in highly complex timbres. Additionally, the principal oscillator passes through multiple unique voltage-controlled waveshapers and crossfaders for further signal processing. The module’s pitch can be controlled with 1V / OCT or via its internal auto-tuner and ART control to create precisely pitched notes. Specifications Width: 34hp Depth: 25mm Power: +12V 260mA / -12V 105mA Manufacturer product page here. Product manual here.

It is designed for patching analog polyphonic synths from discrete modules or multi-mono patches in ART mode. When using ART the ATX1 takes care of the tuning including accounting for temperature changes. In 1V/Oct mode the ATX1 runs as a standard old school modular VCO. LFO mode drops the frequency range and is great for patching vibrato to other ATX1s among other things. The ATX1 outputs variable waveshapes with manual or CV control. Classic FM, PWM and hard sync are provided. A dedicated Gate Out in ART mode manages the voice envelopes or any modulation synced to that voice.

VORTEX comes loaded with dozens of wavetables, plus additional user wavetables can be loaded from the front panel SD card. A detune knob controls the second VCO and adds effects from deep phasing to a sub octave. The position knob and CV input selects waves in the tables and vibrato from LFOs to create FM. Like other ART sound generators a dedicated Gate output manages the voice envelope or any modulation synced to that voice.
