Because the Buchla Easel V Virtual Semi-Modular Synthesizer is a meticulously crafted electronic download from Arturia, it offers an innovative and sophisticated platform for advanced sound design and music production. This professional-grade virtual instrument is a faithful recreation of Don Buchla's iconic instrument that revolutionized West Coast modular synthesis in the early '70s.

The Buchla Easel V is not just a synthesizer; it's a unique tool for painting with sound. Its high-quality design encourages you to think differently about sound, allowing you to create unique soundscapes as distinctive as its front panel array. This virtual instrument is a perfect blend of vintage and modern, combining the rare 1973 Buchla Music Easel's features with enhanced functionalities like polyphony, new modulation/control sources, a step sequencer, and effects.

Arturia's award-winning TAE modeling technology is applied to every component of the Buchla Easel V, capturing the complex oscillator design, AM and FM synthesis, and the uniquely percussive gate/filter combos with incredible realism. This virtual semi-modular synthesizer offers a sonic sandbox for experimentation, breaking musical norms, and creating sounds that have never been heard before.

The Buchla Easel V also comes with nearly 300 presets designed by expert sound designers, providing a wide range of timbres from hauntingly beautiful sonorities to clangorous pokes in the ear.

This virtual instrument also offers enhanced patching fun and foolproof design. The color-coded patchcord between patch points lights up only valid targets, saving you from making invalid connections. The original Music Easel lacked a noise source, so Arturia has added one to the preamp, along with a feedback loop for creating rhythmic elements and howling sounds.

The Buchla Easel V is more than a faithful reproduction of a classic; it's an intuitive programming experience paired with additional sonic options. It delivers new expressive capabilities beyond your wildest dreams, expanding the functionality of the original Music Easel while respecting the instrument's unique personality and design philosophy.
