New Buchla Ziggy - the essence of West Coast synthesis!
Buchla just released the Ziggy!
It's a new instrument formed around the Buchla Complex Oscillator, combining the essence of West Coast synthesis in a modernized, simplified design.
Ziggy is more than just another mono synth; it's a direct route into the experimental "weirdness" of Don Buchla and early electronic music. It brings those classic concepts into a standalone format, complete with preset saving, an online editor, and FX, MIDI, USB, and CV. With an MSRP of just 1049,00€, it’s an accessible gateway to the Buchla universe.
