Inspired by the ultra-rare Buchla Music Easel 208 from the 1970s, with fewer than 50 originals ever made, this module brings West Coast synthesis magic to your rack at a fraction of the reissue price.
It's a faithful analog replica of the Easel 208's core, packing a complex VCO, dual lowpass gates, and 14 optocouplers for that signature organic, percussive sound. Scaled to 80HP for Eurorack or desktop use, the layout puts the patch bay up top, controls in the middle and bottom, with an OLED display for total patch recall and MIDI CC integration. Connectivity shines with USB and 5-pin DIN MIDI in/thru/out, mono audio out, CV/Gate ports, and power on the rear. Monophonic voice with hands-on knobs for intuitive tweaking, no menus needed for the analog heart.
Now in production after prototype testing, early previews highlight its complex design and reliable Behringer build, earning nods from modular fans eager for affordable Buchla vibes without compromises.
