The PMC takes full advantage of the program interface, storing up to 48 Easel presets and interfacing with your computer with a class-compliant MIDI connection. The Buchla Program Manager App for Mac and Windows gives you the power to manage banks, create programs, and import and export your presets for sharing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eEvolution of an idea\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe program interface’s edge card connector was originally designed to let artists create presets by wiring resistors to a circuit board to fix the positions of the sliders and banana connections. Each preset was its own card. Simply swapping cards in the program interface completely changed the sound. This was valuable, if not outright necessary, to musicians who needed to easily recreate patches for performance and create repertoire. The 2013 “iProgram Card” created a vital link between computer and Easel. Now, in 2022, Buchla USA has refreshed and simplified the design, giving it more memory, embed-ability, and making it easier to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_2  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_dark\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVirtual Solder Station\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you can still solder up some sounds for all generations of the Easel, the new Program Manager Card provides microcontroller precision and computer convenience. Serving as the digital bridge between your computer’s USB port and the 28 pins of the Program Interface, the PMC gives you instant recall and easy access to 48 unique programs that control almost every parameter and patchpoint on the Easel’s front panel. Repeatability and repertoire are made instantly available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_pb_column_5  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_dark\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComputer Precision\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the Buchla Program Manager Application in Mac or Windows to design presets gives you even more programming options than the Easel’s front panel controls. The unique “Depth” controls for the patch cords put a virtual knob on every cable, allowing gradual and even inverted connection for every patch point. The fine resolution provided by high resolution controls means you can dial in extremely precise values for parameters, in a way not easily achieved by hand. The application serves as an endless extension to the Program Manager, with nearly unlimited space for presets and banks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_pb_column_6  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_4\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_dark\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSharing is Fun\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImport and Export features make it easy to backup or share your presets and complete banks with other Easel musicians in a simple, small file.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_7  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_divider_0 et_pb_space et_pb_divider_hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et_pb_column_8  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_dark\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdventure Awaits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the optional embed kit, you can install the Program Manager card directly into your easel, replacing the Program Interface connector with the screen and buttons.
