Buchla 259e Twisted Waveform Generator

Quirky and desirable dual oscillator.

The digital parts are ported from the hardware line by line, the wavetables byte by byte, and the analog parts are modeled component by component​

The first-ever officially licensed Buchla plug-in

Perfect for screeching, harsh and digital sounds

 

With the 259e, the answer is — pretty twisted. A coveted dual oscillator module now available for Softube Modular, Buchla 259e Twisted Waveform Generator is the first-ever officially licensed plug-in version of a Buchla product. While the unit can be used for traditional synth patches, its unusual inner workings makes Buchla 259e excel at metallic, cold, harsh, digital and screeching sounds.

"The Twisted Waveform Generator is one of Buchla's many complicated and mysterious modules. I honestly did not expect a digital version to capture the richness of this maverick device. But, Softube has, amazingly, captured everything I have, so far, imagined about the oscillator. The Twisted plugin is now an important element in my Buchla + Computer performances."

"Three years ago I purchased a Buchla Easel and it really changed the way I compose my music. The Softube Buchla 259e makes me not miss my Easel too much while travelling."
