Unlock a world of sonic exploration with the Noise Engineering Sinc Bucina, an innovative modular synthesizer component that embodies the spirit of Don Buchla's pioneering work. This Buchla-inspired 4HP module offers an intriguing blend of VCF and VCA capabilities, perfect for those looking to experiment with unique soundscapes. Designed with versatility in mind, the Sinc Bucina features an elegant 2-pole lowpass filter that feeds into its VCA, providing a foundation for dynamic sound shaping.

The Sinc Bucina stands out with its manual control over attack and release values, allowing you to fine-tune the module’s behavior to your creative needs. With a 3-way selector switch, you can toggle between a 6-decibel-slope lowpass filter, a filter-less VCA, or a 12-decibel-slope lowpass filter, each offering distinct modes of sound sculpting. The Ping and Gate inputs introduce further possibilities for expression, enabling nuanced modulation through amplitude-dependent triggers and versatile slewing techniques.

For live performances or spontaneous sessions, the dedicated Hit button offers instant access to the module’s current filter configuration—delivering on-the-fly possibilities. Whether you're a seasoned modular synthesist or a newcomer, the Sinc Bucina promises to be a valuable addition to your Eurorack setup, offering both depth and breadth in your musical journey.
