Buchla is ecstatic to revive the Easel for its third run in 50 years. We first released the updated 208 Stored Program Sound Source, dubbed the Easel Command, with expanded MIDI and USB capability.

Next came the update of the Easel Program Manager – a complete kit for storing and recalling sounds sources, even more rapidly than imagined in 1973.

The new 218 Touch Activated Voltage Source provides the optimal input facility, as originally envisioned. We can now bring it all together in a rugged case and the advanced EMBIO module that unifies all the audio and control inputs and outputs for integration with the rest of your musical world.
