212

Buchla's original 200 series Dodecamodule (Buchla Associates, Berkeley, early 1970s), four panel units wide: twelve small modules on one panel, "the electric music box" printed at its foot. A preamplifier, a noise source (low and high), a balanced modulator, a voltage controlled filter (bandwidth, F.M., center frequency from 50 Hz to 15 kc, Q), a three-input mixer with a monitor headset output, an envelope detector, a stored random voltage, a random voltage source (probable change rate), a triple envelope generator (attack, decay, sustain mode), a triple lopass gate (lopass or gate) and a three-channel output amplifier (amplitude, location, reverb).

Key features

• Twelve modules on one panel
• Voltage controlled filter, balanced modulator, three envelopes and three lopass gates
• Random voltages, noise and a preamplifier
• Three-channel output amplifier with location and reverb
