Zlob Modular Trepanator Eurorack Chaotic Synth Voice Module

£329.00

Trepanator from ZLOB — a wild, bent-by-design synth voice inspired by Rob Hordijk’s Benjolin. ZLOB took the core ideas and rebuilt them with their own chaotic twists: dual oscillators, a multimode filter, tons of feedback paths, a freaky 3-band EQ, and more. It’s super interactive, insanely wide-ranging, and built for abstract sound exploration. Like the Benjolin, the Trepanator can spits out organic, self-evolving textures, rhythms, and loops.

Description

Experimental synth voice with a dual vco, random voltage, feedback, eq, and a svf.

The Trepanator is a 14hp analog “Bent by Design” experimental instrument featuring a Dual VCO, Difference Rectifier, 3-band EQ, Sample/Track and Hold, and SVF(state variable filter) all built into one nonlinear module. Its origins trace back to a love for Rob Hordijk’s Benjolin and patching a similar pseudo chaotic feedback-based instrument from scratch using all Zlob modules.

Although not based on Hordijk’s circuit or signal flow, it uses a similar architecture of dual voltage controlled oscillators, an “interference pattern generator,” a state variable filter, and internalized cross-patched feedback. Instead of a Rungler and comparator the Trepanator uses a sample/track and hold with slew, a difference/rectifier circuit(based on NLC), and a self-oscillating 3-band EQ.

Utilizing this excessive feedback between the VCO’s, EQ, S/H, and SVF, creates a completely new instrument for discovering abstract electronic sounds. The Trepanator is a highly interactive, unpredictable, and an immediate instrument capable of a huge range of organic and sounds from: snarling, plucking, bubbling, screaming, gurgling, hissing, grunting, pinging, and quacking, to machine like rhythmic loops, circuit bent broken modem sounds, no-input mixer screeching, intermittent short wave radio fizzling, and full on Harsh Noise Wall all within the touch of a fader or a small knob turn without any external audio or any control voltage in.
