Authentic sound
The complex oscillator generators' signature harmonically rich tones are produced by folding the peaks and valleys of a waveform back on themselves. Define the tone, timbre, and movement of the instrument with an easy-to-use intuitive click-and-drag patch bay; outputs are colour-coded to match different modulation sources. Movement comes from the dedicated modulation Oscillator that can either be used as an LFO, or dialled into the audio range and patched up to FM and AM textures. Sequence sounds with the Sequential Voltage Source, featuring five steps and multiple trigger sources that can target 76 parameters for complex and exciting movement. All this makes for the instantly recognisable and authentic Easel tone.
Modern enhancements
Arturia has included a range of powerful modern enhancements that take Easel V's deep sound design possibilities even further. Define complex control curves to take automate five separate destinations with loop, one-shot, free-run, and sync to master tempo modes. Automatically play melodic passages with a 32-step tempo syncable sequencer, leaving hands free to explore, and sculpt sounds. Unique gravity modulation effects offer the ability to ability to define physics simulations to modulate parameters; control force, randomness, and how long a gate is generated. Finally, Arturia has included dual effects slots with ten effects to choose from including stereo ping-pong delay, reverb, parametric EQ, and a lo-fi sonic destroyer.
Powered by TAE technology
Using proprietary modelling algorithms, Easel V is able to recreate the iconic instruments down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation, Easel V is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the instrument, whilst Phi's state-of-the-art physical modelling brings the acoustic properties into the virtual world for hyper-realism. The result is truly a next-level sound that is indistinguishable from the original to add to your productions.
Reviews
"This is amazing for adding strangeness to my sounds. This one will definitely give me the dirt I need to enrich those sounds." - Ferry Corsten (DJ/Producer)
"The features of the Easel are thoughtfully and accessibly implemented. The onboard sonic sculpting tools (fx, extra function generator, 32 step polyphonic sequencer) made this a pwer house. Buchla Easel V brings on the fun of sonic exploration." - Todd Barton (Composer/Sound Designer)
