Buchla Music Easel for sale in excellent condition. This is the 208c module and 218r V1 clone in what I think is in a Samodular case. I bought all of this from reverb and midi implementation from Noisebug but haven't used it that much.
Includes
- 208c module
- 218r V1
- 8u case
- 208c midi implementation
- Banana cabes
- power supply
The 208c is in excellent condition and has no issues that I am aware of. The case is in excellent condition also.
218r is in very good condition with a few notes.
- The pressure sensitivity does not seem to work. I believe the original owner that built the module did not solder in the touch sensitivity. Please see last photo. It probably just needs to be soldered to work.
- Original owner modded the module with a buffered output so pitch will not droop when connected to other systems and also has an additional pcb for the trigger out mod and improved portamento.
- A few of the brackets separating the keys are loose and need to be re glued, the module has some blemishes that are pictured, and I can look for the other screws.
The top boat does not have a power supply so the 208c needs to have the ribbon cable put into the bottom boat by sliding it under the 218r module. The picture of the whole system shows that. Putting a power supply into the top boat would be ideal to avoid this and make the setup clean or mod the case with an additional through hole. This doesn't effect the functioning of the module.
