Thing is tho, when you see a pic of someone using a buchla 200e you get a sense of proportion...small is sexy I reckon. I only found out it actually folds into a case just recently.

unless there's some case-size confusion going on, I'm pretty sure they're all petite

Whaaaa? The cherry is beeeaauuutttiiiifffffulllllll.

yes, but the blue and red design of the modules, combined with the touch keyboards just... urgh. And b0unce, I am with you on the 200e, again. The old 200 non-e just doesn't even beGIN to measure up.

Anyone seen pics of the 200e folded?

b0unce,

It's Big.

It's Beautiful.

And You're Going To Love It.

And I'm not talking about my cock, sorry.

Gives a pretty good indication of scale. It's a control center. Mmmmm.

Hey, that's Ezra Buchla, son of founder Don Buchla. He's in a really great band called Gowns who fucking blow the doors off of anything remotely called "indie" or "noise" rawk these days.

Super nice guy too.

All I can say Mesmer is analogue>digital.
Digital is great for audio WAV/AIFF manipulation, not as great for evolving breathing atmospheric oscillators and filters.

I have a Yamaha FS1R that excels at evolving breathing atmospheric stuff. But given it's unique character, it might be the exception to the rule.
