DISC Buchla & Tiptop Audio 266T Source of Uncertainty Model Overview
The Buchla & Tiptop Audio 266T Source of Uncertainty Model is an authentic recreation of the fabled 266e Buchla module from the revered 200 series, now converted to Eurorack modular format. The bedrock of Buchla's work, the 266e laid the foundation of mathematic probability and musical randomisation to sound processing, allowing players to add excitement and energy to your tracks. Featuring two fluctuating random voltages and two stored random voltages with an integrated slew control, this is the ultimate source for creating random voltage movement and noise in your modular synth. A complex harmony of science and engineering, the Buchla & Tiptop Audio 266T Source of Uncertainty Model harnesses the power and flexibility of the original to let you explore your creative potential.
Integrating the 266T Source of Uncertainty Model to your Eurorack modular synth will allow for a wide range of modulation and patching to trigger random noise and voltage events that can drastically change the outcome of your sound design. Designed to always remain musical, the 266T has complete control over every parameter. You can determine the outcome of the noise type between pink, white and blue, the randomised fluctuating voltage between 0.5Hz and 50Hz and between the number of voltage states in the quantized random voltage section. With this level of control, you can introduce spectral bias with more or fewer noise artefacts, make audible and rapid voltage fluctuation and change the velocity of the outputted voltages respectively.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe legendary 200 series – now in Eurorack format
Tiptop Audio has teamed up with the illustrious synth manufacturer Buchla to breathe new life into their iconic 200 series modules. Resuming production of the icon Don Buchla’s 200 series, Tiptop Audio has managed to faithfully convert the original modules into the Eurorack Format. The original modules were created in the 70s and revered in the music world for their unique sound shaping capabilities and distinctive character. With this series, you can now own a piece of musical history - revived for the modern era, at a fraction of the price it would cost you for the originals!
Musical unpredictability
Split into two sections, the 266T Source of Uncertainty Model features four distinct functions for creating musically pleasing randomisation to your modular synth. The first of four parts is the Noise Source, featuring a -3dB per octave, +3dB per octave and a Flat output, allowing you to add or remove artefacts from your patches or for experimental self-contained modulation.
Next, the Fluctuating Random Voltage section does exactly as you'd come to expect. Using two evolving voltages, this is where you can generate the musical randomness to your modular synthesiser in a musical and interesting manner. Derived from the rate of change, you have a wide range of control from 0.05Hz all the way to 50kHz.
Then, the Quantized Random Voltage stage can produce up to 24 different states which can be mathematically cycled when an input pulse is patched through the CV input. The states this produces can be altered to enhance or reduce the predictability to wildly affect the musicality of the voltage states.
Lastly, the Stored Random Voltage features three different voltage controllable parameres, controlling the skew, degree and the strength of the outputted voltage. With CV control, you can externally control each of these parameters for some expressive and unpredictable results.
