BUCHLA EASEL V is a detailed software recreation of Don Buchla's iconic 1973 analog synthesizer, the Music Easel. Renowned for its performance-oriented design, this instrument emphasizes creative sound shaping and artistic expression. It offers a unique approach to sound design that is ideal for crafting ambient soundscapes, complex textures, and unconventional sequences.

The synth features a component-level model of the original hardware, including complex oscillators, dual low pass gates, and a spring reverb effect. Its semi-modular architecture allows for intuitive routing with color-coded cables, while modulation sources such as a 5-step sequencer, envelope generator, and pulser are faithfully recreated. Enhanced controls enable synchronization of the pulser and clock, oscillator quantization, and multi-point envelopes to add depth and variation to your sounds.

In addition to staying true to the original, this version introduces Gravity, a physics-based modulation engine that moves sounds through dynamic, evolving spaces. Users can manipulate sounds with up to four voices of polyphony and a variety of onboard effects including phaser, flanger, chorus, overdrive, and delay. With 256 factory presets and flexible modulation options, BUCHLA EASEL V expands sonic possibilities for musicians seeking fresh and exploratory sound creation.
