Benjolin

Benjolin front

This module contains a Rob Hordijk Benjolin and a Ken Stone/CGS Reverb along with a small analog mixer. The Benjolin PCB was a run at ModWiggler not designed for 4U, so all the wiring is point-to-point from the PCB to panel. I laid out the panel in Front Panel Express and ordered blank raw aluminum. Sanded it and applied graphics with Lazertran.

The Benjolin is a chaotic CV/Audio generator made of of 2 oscillators, a resonant VCF, and a “random” voltage generator Rob called The Rungler. The design is unique, there’s nothing else quite like it. It’s unpredictable, distinctive, and always confounding… at least to me.

The reverb PCB is from CGS, now moved to Elby Designs

Ken Stone has discontinued his web site and moved information and sales of his boards to Elby Designs. All Serge designs that Ken made available (with authorization by Serge and royalties) have been transfered to Elby under the same agreement.
