Buchla LEM218

The LEM218 from Buchla is a touch sensitive keyboard controller for (modular) synthesizers. Capacitive touch controllers have a long tradition at Buchla, dating back to 1973. The 29 capacitive keys produce a well controllable touch dynamic despite 0mm travel. The longitudinally mounted touch strip functions as a modulation wheel. To play notes, it is sufficient to simply place the finger on the key without applying pressure. This opens up new playing techniques that are perfectly suited for expressionistic respectively generative music. The LEM218 is not only designed for Buchla synthesizers like the Easel Command or the 200 modular system. The side-mounted connectors allow the control of a Eurorack modular system and if MIDI or USB is used, synthesizers and plug-ins can even be played polyphonically. If the LEM218 is operated in a setup with control voltages, the portamento control also comes into play, affecting the two pitch outputs. The arpeggiator has its own clock, but can also be synchronized to MIDI, USB or a Buchla pulse. The Preset Voltage Source generates four adjustable control voltages, one of which can be active at the same time. The selection is done via the buttons below; pressing the buttons generates a pulse at the same time. The preset voltages make sense in all patches where context-related sound changes have to be brought to the point. For example, if the bias parameter of Waveshaper is to have a different setting in certain passages, the corresponding input is patched first and the appropriate setting is made with the controls. Heavy users can also use the LEM218 as a MIDI/USB interface for converting note data to Eurorack/Buchla control voltages.
