AmbientSpace - AS 248 Sequencer

Updated 13 May 2026. Built it in v6.0. See notes below. Enjoy! Here is something new - I am obsessed with the musicality, and complexity of Don Buchla's various modular devices. The Buchla 248 MARF is no exception. After looking at the most excellent Suzanne Ciani Buchla Cookbook interpretation in

Sometimes more is not better. I went a bit mad with my #BitwigStudio preset yesterday and made a much more complex version that I thought would more faithfully mimic the #Buchla248, but all it did was generate sadness by becoming unusable.

So I stripped it back and focused on what I could do with the Stack Spread options and I have something I am pretty happy with. It's more than the basic prototype and a number of issues have been addressed and now it is capable of making a lot of fun noises and rhythms.

The Polymetric Polyphonic Spaceship of the Mind is nearing completion. I just need to decide if I will share it and write up some instructions. Who am I kidding? I'll probably get to that tonight.

I've been obsessed with the #Buchla #248 #MARF and the incredible sequencing that it can do. There is an amazing #VCVRack interpretation of #SuzanneCiani's #BuchlaCookBook and I had a brain wave two days ago while staring at the ceiling in the hospital (I am home now).

What we have here is my first audio demo of my #AS248Sequencer. It's a bodged #MARF-Lite where I have movement, multiple play-heads (3 in this case) and have made my own versions of the "Ciani Sequences" from the Cook Book. There's complex oscillations and low-pass gates. All in #BitwigStudio. It is ridiculously fun to perform on and hours roll by and my mind wanders to the good places.

I can be a little loud at parts so mind your ears!

There’s this amazing #TipTop #Buchla #Eurorack panel that has just come out. It’s the #248 #MARF. It’s ridiculously cool, powerful and expensive.

Now that I know I can make controls in #BitwigStudio I am looking forward to developing a #performative #ElectronicMusic setup that is based on #SuzanneCiani’s #BuchlaCookbook following the most excellent #Pyer #VCVRack emulation.

Eerie #Winter #ElectronicMusic ideas generated from #BitwigStudio and #VCVRack with the #Venjolin module. I've routed my to work with #Plaits, loads of #ChronoBlob delay and #Plateau reverb.

I usually spend a considerable amount of time cleaning up #automation data in my #bitwigstudio projects. I just have to ensure that everything is under complete control. 🤓 No chance for chaos! 😜 How about you?

can't wait to release this :D besides performance optimizations (and I'm talking HUGE cpu usage drop) I'm trying to add more features that makes working with it even more fun

@ravetracer_22 @polarity Here is a demo of my long-running #BitwigStudio grid development project - a recreation of the Sherman Filterbank 2. The Grid is an amazing place to develop ideas and tools in.
