"I plugged together all the gear on my workbench. A handful of unfinished modules with some new stuff in the works.
-The top left unit on the shelf is a divider and bass drum module.
-The middle unit is a modular synth providing snare and a tweaky melody.
-center unit with the light is the benjolin light synth.
-the unit to the right of that is the new benjolin prototype.
-in front of that is some bread boarded interfacing circuitry.
-way in the back is the bread board prototype for a super duper rhythm brain.
