"The UltraRollz Farm Detective is an all Analog Modular Synthesizer based on the concepts presented by Peter Blassers (Ciat-Lonbarde) 'Rollz-5 Drum Machine'
The Instrument is divided into 3 sections. A Dual UltraSound Filter module in the center and 2 "Rollz Plates" (one located on either side).
The 2 Rollz Plates each contain 4 Independent Rollz. These Rollz are essentially Pulse Generators that each oscillate at a unique speed. Each Rollz Plate offers 2 Even Rollz (4 stages) and 2 Odd Rollz (3 stages).
The Even Rollz (4 stages) are able to self oscillate at a low consistent speed (LFO), outputting a positive pulse every cycle via the output jack located next to the LED (The LED flashes correspond to the output state of each Roll).
The Odd Rollz (3 stages) do not self-oscillate. They only come alive when patched together with other Rollz. These paradoxical oscillators will then begin emitting bursts of Ultra Sonic noise that will later be processed using the Dual UltraSound Filter located in the center of the instrument.
Each of the 8 Rollz offers individual patch points at every stage of their oscillation (36 patch points in total). These Nodal Points allow one to "weave" the independent Rollz Oscillators together, this is where all the fun begins!
By weaving together the inner workings of several Rollz, complex interactions and 'incidents' begin to occur. There really is no Right or Wrong way of connecting these Nodal Points together. I like to think of this whole process as "creating a thinking brain". The more connections that are made, the more likely that bizarre sounds (thoughts) will begin to take place.
