A Recipe For Chaotic Beauty | Modular Classroom | Episode 04
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"This series is a bit more advanced than usual, but this does not mean 'difficult', it means 'low level'. I will revisit Rob Hordijk's Benjolin and Blippoo Box again, not to recreate them, but to understand its components a bit more so they can be used elsewhere. We'll build a Twin Peak filter with Blades and Blinds (or any duo filter with a polarizer), a Comparator with Maths - which can make amazing new sounds using any two VCO's, I'll revisit the Rungler with Marbles and finally I've been looking for ways to detect equality between two voltages so we can generate a trigger or gate. I am not aware of any comparator that has an '=' output, but I figured out a way to approximate it with Maths.
I've been using ChatGPT as a research tool and it came up with the Twin Peak recipe after scrutinizing documentation on the web. But it also claimed that using Maths for equality detection would not work, because EOC is documented to be 'end of full cycle'. We already figured out in Episode 01 of this series, that EOC is always ON, and off when a RISE is in progress. This is needed to do quadrature functions, bla bla bla, but the point is that AI can be misinformed. Regardless, AI has reached a point where you can actually discuss patches and ChatGPT knows a LOT of modules, options, techniques and alternatives. So how do I know so much? I don't. It's co-creation.
Even though this episode features a lot of chaos, I tried to find the cool textures that make the Blippoo Box so entertaining, and figure out why the Benjolin is so untameable (may I say annoying?)

Macumbista Butterfly Benjolin + Dual AM/RM | Low-gain Electronics
video upload by LowgainElectronics
"Updated my v4/5 Butterfly Benjolin to include one of my Dual AM/RM modules. On the left Benjolin i wired it as per Macumbista’s new ring mod block diagram. With the dual AM/RM circuit you can have the modulator do either ring modulation or TZ amplitude modulation. So that makes for some fun. On the right side I wanted to keep the second AM/RM isolated so you can plug in anything you want to it. Far right side has X/Y inputs. Middle has output and mode switch (AM/RM) and i swapped the external input to the filter to a switching jack and wired a banana back to the normal so you can patch anything banana format into it as well. Internally the external banana jack has a trim pot to adjust the gain amount."

It's a Rungle outthere | Cybernetics EP02 | From Benjolin to Blippoo Box
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"The Benjolin is a powerful module. For many, it's a chaotic noise source, which was exactly the point of the design. The Blippoo Box is less chaotic, more musical and designed as an experimental instrument. It's more a Pandora's Box. Both have the Rungler in common. It refers to a shift register circuit, but also to the 5U module that includes two VCO's and is not unlike the Benjolin's chaotic core. I do not own a Blippoo Box for obvious reasons (it's now priceless) but I do love my Benjolin. It's going to be a noisy video where I'll try the Rungler concept on Marbles and XAOC Leibniz.
Marbles is a cool extension to the Benjolin, and the Benjolin can also be a great conventional complex VCO.
Rob Hordijk designed the Rungler module (and circuit) to cover the space between a fundamental sinewave and the total chaos of white noise. A creative source of designer noise to enrich your patch. And wow, what a designer he was."

Rainy day with Loopman
video upload by murratti 127
"Black Sequencer from erica synths controls the bass drum from mosaic, the pique from after later audio, the kermit from industrial music and chainsaw from acid rain. 0-CTRL from make noise controls the resonate from after later audio, this signal is filtered with night rider from ryk and the mimeophone is used as an effect. Other effects and voices from the Benjolin v2 from after later audio. Roucha legio and yester versio from noise engineering.
My voice from the Loopman controlled with math and soundhack with morphagene from make noise. Hope you like this video! Comments welcome!"

The Ciat Lonbarde Peterlin - Peter Blasser Meets Benjolin
Chaos Patterns with the Ciat-Lonbarde Benjolin / Peterlin Synthesizer
video upload by Duskmos
Note the "Peterlin" made it's first appearance with Hainbach on May 7 here on MATRIXSYNTH. This post features a few examples from others, and additional details and pics below.
Above: "In this Signal Colors Palette video, I'm taking a first look at the Ciat-Lonbarde Benjolin / Peterlin, a tiny wooden synth featuring a nod to synthesis history by putting the focus on sound creation with a circuit design inspired by the 'Rungler' by Rob Hordijk.
Hang out while I coax some cool sounds from this wildly experimental sounding synth!"
Quirky little groove machine: Ciat-Lonbarde Peterlin first impressions
video upload by NoctopolisMusic
"Listen to albums, download tracks and support me at https://noctopolis.bandcamp.com/
I was lucky to get a Ciat-Lonbarde Peterlin (why not Blassolin though?) from the first batch at PatchPoint and these are clips from my first don´t-know-what-I-do-sessions with it. First one: solo. Second one: with Lorre Mill Double Knot 3. Third one: with Moog Subharmonicon."

video upload by La Synthèse Humaine
This is the first post to feature the Peterlin.
"first patch ring modulates peterlin xor to vcfq with a sine wave - both controlled by rungler. this is mixed with the peterlin audio output in the vc res eq and its bands get modulated by various peterlin outputs
second and third patches have a bit less and a bit more going on... all gets a little confusing and knotted up
check out my newest album Contraluz here: https://critiqueofeverydaylife.bandca..."
"Dressed in their signature banana jack-laden wooden enclosure, the Peterlin is Ciat-Lonbarde's take on the Benjolin: a tribute to the synthesizer designs of Rob Hordijk. Deceptively simple in appearance, the Peterlin is a highly interconnected instrument containing two oscillators, a resonant lowpass filter, and Peter Blasser's take on the infamous Rungler circuit. Clocked by one oscillator, the Rungler is a shift register feeding upon not only its own output, but also listening to the output of the other oscillator to further influence its data with feedback chaos. As the Rungler's CV output is then fed into the oscillators and filter, a range of hefty drones and chaotic noise is possible. Of course, the Ciat-Lonbarde take on this classic experimental instrument is filled with its own mysteries.

Meet the Break Glass Benjozeit - a Benjolin and Zeitgeist Combined
video upload by NOISEBUG
"Here is a short demo something a long time in the making. This is the BenjoZeit, a licensed copy of Rob Hordijk’s beloved DIY workshop circuits released to the public over a decade ago. The Break Glass BenjoZeit contains both the Benjolin and Zeitgeist circuits, true to form, warts and all. The finished limited edition of 5 are simply beautiful and 2 years in the making. Commissioned before the onset of the events of early 2020, these have finally met us 2 years later.
There will not be a second run as these were handmade to the extreme in a beautifully spacious tabletop format.
Available now on Noisebug.net for a limited time."
