Description : Description: Buchla Easel V, created by Arturia, is an accurate emulation of the cult semi-modular synthesizer Don Bukla, which was introduced in the early 1970s. Take a look at this course and learn about the “western” style of synthesis with sound designer Rishabh Rajan!
Buchla Easel, launched in 1973, sounds as unique as it looks. It should be noted that its creator, a pioneer of electronic instruments from the “west coast,” Don Bukla was the original designer who created very peculiar electronic musical instruments. In this course, synthesis expert Rishabh Rajan explores Don Bukla’s instrument recreated by Arturia “The Music Easel ”, which is ahead of its time.
The course begins with a review of the plugin, where you will learn how to navigate the interface, load presets and how to make basic patches. Rishabh then covers Complex Oscillator and Modulation Oscillator modules and explains how to creatively route them through the Dual Lo Pass Gate. Then it shows what you can get by playing with various Voltage Control modules, such as Envelope Generator, Pulser and Sequential Voltage Source. You will also learn about Mod CV, Envelope Out, Inverter, as well as all the additional functions that Arturia added to the plugin version (and the Gravity function is not at all from this world!).
So, forget about musical norms! See (and hear) how far the West Coast synthesis can take you in this study of the Buchla Easel V synthesizer … just remember to go down to earth after visiting these new sound palettes!

The Buchla Easel, released in 1973, sounds as unique as it looks. It must be said that its creator, “west-coast” electronic instrument pioneer Don Buchla was a very unconventional instrument designer who created very unconventional electronic music instruments. In this course, synthesis expert Rishabh Rajan explores Arturia’s recreation of Don’s “The Music Easel” -an instrument that was truly ahead of its time.
The course starts with an overview of the plugin where you learn how to navigate the interface, load presets, and how to do basic patching.
