It contains two oscillators (one LFO and one VCO), a low pass filter and a circuit called a \u201cRungler\u201d, which allows chaotic cross-modulation possibilities between the different parts of the circuit. Hordijk refers to the Benjolin as a circuit which has been &#8220;bent by design.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>For Spring 2013, I will produce five of these Benjolins, housed in antique wooden slide\/dia boxes. One Benjolin from this run has been sold, and four more are available for order, with shipping on or before 21 June 2013. <\/p>\n<p><em><strong>This run is sold out!.<\/strong><\/em> These Benjolins are produced under licensed agreement with Rob Hordijk.<\/p>\n<p>This instrument ships with an external 110V or 220V AC\/AC converter wall power supply.<\/p>\n<p>Please email <strong><em>MACUMBISTA at the domain GMAIL dot COM<\/em><\/strong> with orders and inquiries. Other customizations are available on request.
