Ziggy by Buchla

Features

• Fully analog Complex and Modulation oscillators. The Modulation oscillator can operate at low frequency or audible rates. The shape is selectable from Sawtooth, Square, or Triangle.
• The Complex Oscillator’s initial shape is a sine wave. It can be frequency or amplitude modulated by the Modulation Oscillator, distorted by the Timbre wavefolder, and blended into a spike, square, or sawtooth wave.
• Create, Save, and Recall over 100 available factory and user presets.
• The low pass gate (LPG) operates as a VCA, Filter, or Both, with a Sallen Key filter architecture. Envelopes are blended shapes, rather than traditional ADSR, encouraging discovery, rather than precision.
• The Cycler modulator has a variety of shapes that can be mixed. The Cycler is easily assigned to parameters to create living, breathing, electronic music. Uncertainty can modify the Cycler as much or as little as you like, encouraging surprise. The XLFO is an extra LFO with a triangle shape, applicable anywhere.
• CV modulation, gate, and 1v/oct pitch make it easy to coordinate with eurorack synthesizers and the Buchla LEM 218 controller.
• MIDI control through USB-C, USB2.0, five pin DIN, and type A mini gives you complete control over playback and sound.
• External audio can be mixed into the LPG with a mono 3.5mm input jack.
• Creative tuning and quantization for western and non-western scales.
• Digital effects include reverb, delay, chorus, pitch shift, and flanger variations, with a wet/dry control and simple macro “size” parameter.
• Stereo sound is accessed through 3.5mm headphone output and two ¼” jacks.
• Powered over USB-C - use a power bank, computer, or wall adapter (not included). (When adapting USB-C to older USB connections with less power, Ziggy’s second USB-C input is provided for power if necessary)
• Weight: 4,5 kg Dimensions WxDxH: 31 x 20 x 7 cm
