Included in this mini-system are both the 700 FM Voice and its expander, alongside the powerful modulation potential in the 700 Function Generator. Fusing the worlds of digital FM synthesis and patch programmable, Buchla-inspired workflows, the 700 System is an exceptional instrument for everything from rich melodic material to far out explorations into the sonic unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 700 FM Voice and Expander from GM.XE is a tribute to the mysterious and rare Buchla 700 FM synth, giving you vintage digital sensibilities with a unique voice architecture. Centrally located is a small screen that easily displays the algorithm with the routing of all the oscillators and indices. Each of the four oscillators are individually addressable and feature four different modes. Two of the modes are tied to the global frequency control, while two completely independent modes give you true freedom. Six indices with their corresponding faders allow you to easily adjust your algorithm. Through all 12 available algorithms, Index 3 and 6 are the final amplifiers for output A and B respectively, letting them function as dynamic controls perfect for patching an envelope to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded alongside the FM Voice is the Expander module which opens up a ton of different timbral options, as well as interactive sequencer. The top section is dedicated to wave shaping with each oscillator having two independent controls for shaping. One is a sine-to-sawtooth control that seamlessly adjusts the waveform, while a second control does the same but from sine-to-square. When combined you get wild and harsh sounds with the sine-to-saw having CV inputs. Each of the outputs also have their own final stage waveshaping for creating a real ruckus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower half of the expander is a 5-stage touch plate festooned sequencer that can, in true Buchla fashion, switch between 3, 4, and 5 stages. Each stage can be tuned independently and the output features an AD envelope generator. There is also an internal clock with its own independent outputs. Indeed, this is the closest thing many of us will ever get to a Buchla FM voice and it does not disappoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 700 Function from GM.XE is a four-channel function generator in the Buchla 4U format that gives you a plethora of modulation options. Each of the channels can be freely assigned to one of the four different function apps. The 700 Function app is the first option available and allows you to draw your own modulation curve with the built-in joy stick. Adjust the shape's curve, switch between linear and logarithmic, change the direction, and even have the plot points be randomly drawn. The second app is a simple AD envelope and the third is a simple LFO with multiple waveshapes. The last applet is a Pattern Seq that gives you an incredible amount of detail for just being 8 steps in length. Each of the steps is tied to an interval and has an operator slot allowing for speeding up, ratcheting, probability, rest, and holds. Offset the steps by up to seven scale degrees in either direction for on-the-fly programming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 700 Function also features dual NoiSys outputs which lets you choose what kind of noise you want to output. For even more timbral flexibility, a trimpot controls an assignable multimode filter which is independent on each channel. Two auxiliary outputs can be used to fire out random voltage fluctuations, which are also customizable, or have them be tied to the joystick's XY position. Both can be assigned to either one, so you can have your cake and eat it, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're immersed in the 4Universe and want to invite a bit of Buchla's late period digital experiments into your rig or just desire a unique modular system that offers versatile creative options in a small form factor, the 700 System from GM.XE Instrument is sure to make a fantastic addition to your studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e700 System Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e700 FM Voice features:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuchla 700-inspired FM oscillator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA and B Outputs defined by algorithms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Variable waveform oscillators with selectable modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal frequency control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Independent index controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 Algorithms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded expander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWave morph parameter for each oscillator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWave shape control for each output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrift control adds frequency detuning with rate and depth control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-Step sequencer with touch plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvelope output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIDI control over waveshaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e700 Function Features:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Channel multi-function generator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Built-in noise outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Built-in random outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoystick XY outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Function apps per-channel: 700 Function, AD, LFO, and Pattern Sequencer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes powered case with wood sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__info-short\" id=\"specification\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuchla Format 4U system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes powered case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase Power Specs: +\/-15V(30w), +5V(10W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 12V power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GM.XE Instrument","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67518159487146,"sku":null,"price":2599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/5199\/7743\/files\/700System_1.jpg?v=1790383140","url":"https:\/\/www.noisebug.net\/products\/gm-xe-instrument-700-system-buchla-compatible","provider":"Noisebug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
