Macumbista Rob Hodijk Benjolin Update

via macumbista.net where orders are open. You'll find additional pics and a filter input demo there as well.

"The Benjolin is a standalone synthesizer designed by Rob Hordijk from the Netherlands. It contains two oscillators (one LFO and one VCO), a low pass filter and a circuit called a “Rungler”, which allows chaotic cross-modulation possibilities between the different parts of the circuit. Hordijk refers to the Benjolin as a circuit which has been “bent by design.”

These hand-made Macumbista Benjolins have been further customized with a patchbay, which can be used to interface with other modular synthesizers, or to setup further feedback systems within the Benjolin itself, a switchable external line input to the Benjolin filter and LEDs displaying the internal state of the Rungler..."


"Quick and dirty demo of Benjolin 2013v1, the first of several Benjolins to be built for sale in 2013. The Benjolin is a standalone synthesizer designed by Rob Hordijk from the Netherlands. It contains two oscillators (one LFO and one VCO), a pair of band-pass filters and a circuit Hordijk calls a “Rungler”, which allows chaotic cross-modulation possibilities between the different parts of the circuit. This hand-made Benjolin has been further customized with a patchbay, which can be used to interface with other modular synthesizers, or to setup further feedback systems within the Benjolin itself, as well as LEDs displaying the internal state of the Rungler."

Ron Zakrin The Modular Realm - Geisha Modular Synth Art

“Beauty & The Beats refers to my pursuit of an aesthetic that embraces a sinister beauty, and the music that inspires my work. Repetition plays a visual role, alluding to rhythms heard, digested, and transcribed onto a two dimensional plane. In this exhibition of new work, some references are overt, some covert, and others are totally subliminal. There is enough ugly in this world to choke the heart out of everyday existence, I respond by painting what pleases me visually and sonically.” - Ron Zakrin

The print is available for purchase here.

New Leploop Product in the Works & Leploop at the Torino Synth Meet

Leploop made an appearance at the recent Torino Synth Meeting hosted by Noisecollective. Pictured to the left is the Leploop table. Below is a prototype of the LEP Trautokick followed by CASSA eurorack modules in wood & metal.  A modular filled with wood panels could be interesting.  Finally the lost pic is a MATRIXSYNTH card at the event.  MATRIXSYNTH was a co-sponsor of the Torino Synth Meet.

You'll find more pics in the full flickr set here.

Update: you can find Leploop's official website here.
