Immerse yourself in the world of experimental synthesis with The Dodeca 258c by KBplugs – a plugin inspired by the legendary sound philosophy that challenges standard approaches to music creation.
The Dodeca 258c: Inspired by Buchla and Unique Sound
This VST instrument is a digital realization of the ideas behind the Buchla Dodeca module. It draws deep inspiration from the principles of “West Coast Synthesis,” known for its focus on complex, multi-layered oscillators and unconventional sound shaping, often leading to organic, evolving, and experimental timbres.
Created for Exploration, Not Exact Copies
The Dodeca 258c does not aim to be an exact digital copy of the hardware original. It is a fresh interpretation, an instrument with its own sonic character, created based on the motifs and inspiration of the Buchla Dodeca. This difference from direct emulation is an advantage. It allows for exploring the principles of synthesis similar to Buchla, but opens the way to unique, original timbres that will become your own sound palette in your music and sound design.
