Tiptop Audio Buchla 242t Programmable Pulser

Tiptop Audio Buchla 242t Programmable PulserThe 242, was designed in 1970 as an event based trigger module for CBS. The lower section features a matrix. Dons original design used a mechanical pin matrix, but in the 242t, weve 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 modules cost reasonable. The upper section includes multiple trigger and gate output combinations
