Versatile Frequency Shifting
The Buchla 285e offers exceptional pitch-based effects and depth enhancement, with both upward and downward frequency shifting capabilities, using either an external or internal reference signal.
KEY FEATURES
The Buchla 285e is a two part module comprising of a Frequency Shifter and Balanced Modulator. It's a surprisingly handy tool from the 200e range that provides a wide range of frequency modulation options and tonal diversity to your patches.
The top half of the 285e handles frequency shifting, where signals applied to the inputs can be shifted both up or down using a source externally applied or, it can internally generate a reference signal (which can be frequency modulated if desired). This part of the module can be used to create a staggering variety of pitch based effects and is widely used in the 200e format as a way of adding perceived depth to your patches.
Think of the top section as a bi-polar CV offset which can be frequency controlled.
The bottom section, dubbed the balanced modulator is just like the "bal ext." section you'd fine on the modulation oscillator of a 208. It's ultimately a ring modulator which can derive its carrier signal (just like the balanced modulator) from an external source or the very same internally generated frequency source. For extra tonal diversity there's also a timbre CV control for even more possible tones.
And just like all the other E series modules, the positions of the pots can be remotely stored and recalled via a 225e or 206e preset manager.

KEY BENEFITS
Enhanced Tonal Diversity
Featuring a balanced modulator similar to a ring modulator, this module allows the use of both external and internal carrier signals, supplemented by timbre CV control for expansive tonal variations.
Preset Compatibility
As part of the E series, the Buchla 285e seamlessly integrates with preset managers like the 225e or 206e, enabling easy storage and recall of settings to enhance workflow efficiency.
