"The Benjolin is a synthesizer designed by Rob Hordijk. It featrues two oscillators, a low pass filter and a random circuit of Rob's own design called a Rungler that outputs voltages, somewhat similar to a sample and hold circuit.

The Macumbista Benjolin is hand-built by Derek Holzer from Rob's circuit design. The Butterfly Benjolin you see here is actually TWO Benjolins together in one box. They are patchable via banana jacks. The cross modulation possibilities are endless.

This one is from 2014. Has the (discontinued) hand-stamped faceplate. Mine also has a mix output that uses the volume controls to blend both of the Benjolins and send out via a single 1/4 output. Very handy for showing up and plugging into an amp. Still has the standard single outs for each Benjolin as well. Comes with 6 banana cables.

I've taken very good care of it. No issues. Being a handmade instrument, it isn't perfect, but that's part of the charm."
