Imagine a synthesizer where chaos isn't a bug—it's the beating heart, inspired by Rob Hordijk's legendary Benjolin but twisted into something even more alive through touch and gesture.
At its core sits the Peterlin module with twin analog oscillators that cross-modulate wildly, feeding into a resonant lowpass filter and the unpredictable Rungler shift register circuit for those signature churning drones, percolating rhythms, and gurgling surprises. Flanking it are two Gold gestural controllers, each with gilded antennas and touch points—perfect for sweeping filter openings or oscillator tuning by hand—while paired Section modules act as voltage samplers with green inputs, blue CV controls, and orange outputs for patching in wild modulation from Peterlin signals or Gold gestures. All this lives on a wooden base with banana jacks for patching (cool colors for CV in, warm for audio out), one audio input, stereo outputs, and power from a 9V battery or 12V supply, making it a portable powerhouse for experimental soundscapes.
Players love how the gestural interface unlocks intuitive, performative madness that feels organic, though some note the steep learning curve rewards patient explorers with endlessly evolving textures.
