Rolzer - Beat Generator Add-On for the Ciat-Lonbarde Plumbutter

Rolzer patching [plumbutter jam #19]

"rolls of rolzer patches into an ultrasound, gong, and pitch input of an Avdog. so you’re hearing three voices. showing how things suddenly gets chaotic and unpredictable manner, beyond comprehensive planning of control.

to be predictable needs some unique approach to learn - patch memo often doesn't reproduce the same result... well, that's actually the point of this thing partly, tho.."

Plumbrolzer session! [plumbutter jam #20]

plumbrolzer video is still relatively rare on tube so here’s a session on one night. Well, it’s not TRULY Plumbrolzer which I can’t afford yet but it is essentially the same ;)

"Rolzer is a beat generator add-on for the Plumbutter, a drum and drama machine. The Plumbutter offers complete voltage control of all parameters, including its pulse-rolls, for generating beat tempo patterns. However, when voltage control is added to an androgynous circuit such as the rolz, it has the tends to roll-off the ultrasound chaos present in the original incarnation of this idea, the rolz-5. So here we have the Rolzer, a collection of geometries graded into tempi by virtue of their capacitors. It is for developing a relationship and searching for the oddest, most alive rhythms, not by twiddling knobs but by making connections.

According to the concepts outlined in the Rollz-5 papers, combinations of even and odd geometries, such as a square and a triangle, generate sophisticated beat patterns including chaos at ultrasound frequencies. An even roll maintains a steady pattern, and an odd roll tries to resolve its inherent paradox; connecting them blends these attributes over time and with "grain". The original paper circuits presented each solder-worker to construct her own idiosyncratic assemblage of geometries, with assortments of capacitors based on what was on at hand, or strict dogmata, or pure whimsey. When the concept evolved into a Laboratory Rollz, the Plumbutter discarded any idiosyncrasies for the sake of pure control and dialing in aesthetic by knob. However, the Tocante line offers a way to think about the materials of electronics- capacitors- that allows a revision of the original Rolz concept..."

The dragonfly is a nice touch.

"9U / 60HP Solid hard maple or walnut Eurorack modular synth case. This is my Standard Line of cases but other than wood selection, there is nothing standard about them. Hand dovetailed, black cherry base slightly raised to reveal a sexy shadow line, spalted maple back, hand profiled / recessed front to frame your modules. This is one of the finest cases made, not a cookie cutter CNC'd plywood box.

The case will have vector rails installed before shipment with a threaded insert or as many sliding nuts as you need. This case also includes a custom switching PSU with 2 distribution boards. If you'd like a Tip-Top studio bus, I can get you one at a significantly reduced price as part of this package. If you do not want a PSU included, I'll take $50 off the final price.

Free Shipping anywhere in the Lower 48

If you're local to the San Francisco Bay Area and can do a pick-up, I'll take another $50 off the price."
