This is my current setup minus the 1u Ring modulator. I just cant figure out what to put in the hole.
Help!
Note: I control with a keystep pro. :)
your link is not properly formatted, so i cannot see what you are talking about.
but, think you should fill it with a hector by poly effects, though, because everyone needs one of those, right?
peace ✌️
Your link is weird, but I assume you mean the "(Current)" one.
An LFO module of some kind (Ochd, Batumi, or whatever seems fun to you)? Maybe even a spring reverb for that classic Easel sound. It's hard to go wrong here. Maybe even a filter if you want to expand your palette beyond traditional Buchla sounds while keeping things fairly simple and focused.
I would rank my suggestions here in the order they appear in terms of relevance/usefulness.
I suggest keeping the ring modulator, too. They sound great with the 258t sine waves and it can also act as a bipolar VCA.

Good advice. right next to my current (yes that the one) setup, I have an Behringer 2600 GM. This give me four LFO, sample and hold, a filter, spring.. all the 2600 bits.
I guess I want something unique but still west coast.
A wavefolder? Definitely a big part of the Buchla sound, and it'll be perfect for those 258t sine waves. Intellijel make a pretty fun one, the Bifold, but there are multiple options.
A 296-style resonant filter bank/EQ? That's a pretty classic west coast design. The Buchla one may not fit, but the Serge or Erica Synths ones will. ADDAC also makes a triple bandpass filter like the one Buchla makes for their 4U systems, which might be a more useful version of the concept for you.
Some of the recent module concepts from Tiptop like the programmable pulser or the frequency shifter might be fun here.
