Building a Buchla 248 (M)ARF | Episode 01 | with Stages, Stages, Stages and Marbles

Sorry about that title. The MARF is short for the Multiple ARbitrary Function generator, a huge Buchla design carrying the model number 248, and is part of the 200 series. It's not easy to compare it with anything because there's nothing like it. I contacted Todd Barton (thanks so much!) to be able to study a few MARF images. The sliders made me think of Mutable Stages, and the control section reminded me of Marbles. While getting lost on the way, I finally got a patch that sounded similar: 'music that sounds like dancing butterflies'. Please note I covered a bit of the ARF. The true MARF has multiple playheads and this attempt doesn't cover it. So I demoted this video to episode 1 on May 9th 2024 while cooking up a true MARF eurorack implementation. My 3xStages setup may look a bit like the Buchla masterpiece, but from a functional angle it's not even remotely close. Episode 02 coming soon! Installation of Stages Qiemem firmware requires playing a .WAV into the module which can be bit of a drag. I recommend using a eurorack sample player like the BitBox for a high success ratio. Using a phone, PC or pad can be a nightmare. Also, I am not sure if the firmware works on a clone, please comment if you tried it. Here's the repository (wav file at the end of the page) https://github.com/qiemem/eurorack/re... I am still trying to wrap my head around it. Even though Stages and Marbles are now discontinued, they're easy to find as fully functional clones. With Eurorack, we have the 'power' to build our own synths, or get inspired by designs which are still amazing and modern after +50 years. I hope it inspires you too. Again, this is just the beginning of the quest.
