BIG THANKS TO ALL THE DIY COMMUNITY !
Getting started
The Benjolin is a standalone synthesizer designed by Rob Hordijk from the Netherlands. It contains two oscillators (one LFO and one VCO), a voltage controlled filter and a circuit called a “Rungler”, which allows chaotic cross-modulation possibilities between the different parts of the circuit. Hordijk refers to the Benjolin as a circuit which has been “bent by design.” (Source : macumbista).
The Benjolin was my first ever DIY synthesizer and I made one first but the filter was not functional so I made another. Then I wanted to include it in my Eurorack system so I made a pannel for them and the result is this module.

Materials
Wood is 8mm thick plywood but it is a bit too thin so prefer a 10mm or higher for thikness.
It is better to take an exterior plywood for durability.
