Benjolin 2016 Pre-Orders Now Open

via macumbista: "The Benjolin is a standalone synthesizer designed by Rob Hordijk from the Netherlands. It contains two oscillators (one LFO and one VCO), a voltage controlled 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 are officially licensed by Hordijk, and have been further customized with a patchbay, which can be used to interface with other modular synthesizers or to setup further control voltage feedback systems within the Benjolin itself, attenuators on the three control voltage input and LEDs displaying the internal state of the Rungler. The double version, which I have named the Butterfly Benjolin, allows incredible amounts of chaotic cross-modulation between the two halves of the instrument."

Novation Circuit - battery powered jam session - HQ Audio

"If you like my stuff, please support me at http://music.ollilab.com/

I got the Novation Circuit this friday... been playing around for a few minutes with it, and since i have no power in my studio (due to some issues with a line being burnt by the power meter, long story).. i decided to go all battery powered jam session with the circuit (no pun intended).

All you hear is the circuit, no other FX and/or instruments.. recorded straight into line in on my Zoom Q4 recorder with no post processing whatsoever. Sorry for the crappy low light conditions. Audio however is HQ which is the most important part.

Use headphones and/or proper speakers as the bass goes pretty low at times.

Hope you can enjoy it ! BoOoM !"

Sunday evening experiment

Published on Feb 14, 2016 Alba Ecstasy

"Maybe this video will be useful for those who want to see how an A-148 Sample&Hold from Doepfer may work. The S&H is feeded by the A-118 Noise - Colored and Random outputs and triggered by the Doepfer Dark Time. A-148 is modulating the Ripples which is filtering the Z3000 mkII plus some white noise from A-118. Everything is passing through Clouds in Pitch-shifter/time-stretcher mode (not so much used as I use the reverb of it).
Well, it's Sunday evening, my belly is full with Falafel (home made) lol so, you may find this video, a little 'full' too!
