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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRIP Rob Hordijk\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zlob Modular","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47712026722474,"sku":null,"price":369.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/5199\/7743\/files\/trepanator_mockup_copy__00968.jpg?v=1764725433","url":"https:\/\/www.noisebug.live\/products\/zlob-modular-trepanator","provider":"Noisebug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
