Creating Melodies on the Buchla 200e | West Coast Synthesis

This video focuses on creating melody with the Buchla 200e, an instrument shaped by the principles of West Coast synthesis pioneered by Don Buchla. Rather than centering on keyboards or fixed pitch systems, this approach treats melody as something that emerges from voltage, movement, and interaction.

Pitch is guided by control voltage, chance operations, and function generators, while complex oscillators and waveshaping define the harmonic character. Melodic lines evolve through modulation and probability, forming structures that shift and breathe instead of repeating in predictable patterns.

The Buchla 200e invites a hands-on, exploratory process—using touch plates, dynamic control, and nonlinear signal paths to blur the line between composition and sound design. Melody becomes a living element, shaped moment by moment through intentional patching and subtle unpredictability.

No timeline. No presets.
Just voltage, touch, and evolving form.
