Description
ID700 is a hybrid FM/waveshaping software synthesizer based on the voice architecture of the Buchla 700.
ID700 for Desktop runs in standalone mode and as an AUv3 plugin (Logic, GarageBand, REAPER64, MainStage, and Ableton Live). A free VST3 wrapper is available from our website for hosts which don't support AUv3 (Bitwig, Cubase).
HISTORY
In 1987 Don Buchla released the Buchla 700 synthesizer. It was the next logical step from Don's previous digital synths (the Buchla 400, Touché, Buchla 500) but was also influenced by the synth trends of the 1980's, specifically FM synthesis and the all-in-one workstation concept. As usual, Don was ahead of the curve and the 700 never took off. Very few were sold and even fewer functioning units exist today. I always loved the sound of Don's digital oscillators, and combined with the scarcity of the instrument it seemed like a fun project to recreate it in software and reintroduce its concepts to the world.

The Marvels of Human Thought
Jon, has done something special here through extending the ideas, creation, and purpose of something to emit light. This is a very special instrument and the emotive possibilitiess with discovery through sound is purely evident. Artists have a tool here to create something that can possibly make a difference in the World, through sonics. Thank you for your labor of love in creating ID700, this is only the beginning.
