Notes

Buchla's first quick start patch for the 208C, its seven steps done. The envelope opens gate 1 and the pulser gate 2 (shorting bars). Random voltage moves the complex oscillator's waveshape (waveshape knob on the sine) and its timbre, the modulation oscillator's modulation and the envelope's sustain. The sequencer moves the modulation oscillator's frequency, and the complex oscillator frequency-modulates the modulation oscillator (f.m. in at its maximum, a Tini-Jax cable).
