296

Buchla's 296 Programmable Spectral Processor in the 200 Classic Reissue series: sixteen bandpass filters, from under 100 Hz to over 10 kHz, played as a graphic equalizer, a comb filter, an envelope follower per band and a voltage-controlled spectrum.

Key features

• Sixteen bands, each with its attenuator from +6 dB to off, its own output and an envelope follower output
• Signal inputs and attenuator outputs for the even bands, the odd bands or all sixteen; even and odd comb filter outputs
• Programmed outputs swept by FREQUENCY and WIDTH, both voltage controlled, and a control input per band
• Programmed spectrum transfer: one parity's envelopes play the other's bands, for vocoder patches, with pre-emphasis
