Buchla Model 281t Quad Function Generator Module for Eurorack (28 HP) by Tiptop | 281T
The Buchla Model 281t Quad Function Generator Module for Eurorack (28 HP) by Tiptop Audio is a faithful Eurorack recreation of the original Buchla 281 module from the legendary Buchla 200 Series, built in collaboration with Buchla themselves.
- Core function: Contains four identical function generators (organized as two linked pairs) that can each act as an envelope generator or an LFO, producing shaping and modulation signals for a modular synth rig.
- Modes: Each generator can run in Transient, Sustained, or Cyclic mode, with Attack and Decay times adjustable from about 1 millisecond up to 10 seconds, each with CV control.
- Quadrature mode: Two generators can be linked so their outputs are shifted 90 degrees out of phase, useful for complex, evolving modulation patterns.
- I/O: Full Eurorack-level CV in and out via standard 3.5mm jacks (the original used banana jacks), plus a trigger pulse output at the end of each decay stage for triggering other modules.
- Format: 28 HP wide Eurorack module.
A go-to modulation source for electronic musicians and sound designers who want the character of the original Buchla 200 Series envelope/LFO circuit in a modern Eurorack case.
