Tiptop Audio Buchla 242t Programmable Pulser
The 242, was designed in 1970 as an event-based trigger module for CBS.
The lower section features a matrix. Don’s original design used a mechanical pin matrix, but in the 242t, we’ve replaced it with an LED array and X/Y knobs, reminiscent of those found in vintage electronic games. This modern alternative improves long-term reliability and helps keep the module’s cost reasonable. The upper section includes multiple trigger and gate output combinations and controls. This module revisits early methods of rhythmical generation and introduces Don’s concept of a master clock, the “Pulser”.
- Width: 16HP
- Depth: 45mm
- Power: 130mA @+12v / 19mA @-12v
