# Event Details - **Event Name**: Synth Soundbath: Buchla 200 - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 25 Oct, 2026 at 11:00 am (-06:00) - **Event Description**: Join us at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre, for Synth Soundbath, a new monthly series exploring the intersection of wellness and music technology. Part immersive listening session, part interpretive learning experience, this program invites participants to experience sound as both a creative and sensory force. Held on the last Sunday of each month, each session spotlights a different synthesizer from NMC’s collection. Often associated with experimental music rather than wellness practices, synthesizers offer a unique lens into the science of sound and the body’s response to vibration, expanding how we listen, feel, and understand music’s role in well-being. This session features the Buchla 200e, a modern modular synthesizer system introduced in 2004 and rooted in Don Buchla’s pioneering 1970s-era designs. The 200e retains a largely analog signal path while incorporating modern hybrid enhancements such as MIDI control, patch memory, internal routing systems, and expanded voltage-controlled parameters. The 200e reflects Buchla’s ongoing commitment to experimental design and non-traditional approaches to synthesis. Unlike keyboard-driven instruments, it emphasizes gesture, control voltage, and timbral exploration over conventional melody and harmony. Its legacy is closely tied to West Coast synthesis and modular sound design, and to a broader lineage of electronic music that treats sound as a physical, expressive medium. Guests are encouraged to bring a yoga mat, blanket, or anything that helps them get comfortable as they settle in. --- Doors: 10:45 am. Start time: 11:00 am.
