There's a new #VCVRack paid module set from #Venom and there's this new #Benjolin module closely modelled after the #AfterLater module. I've made a nice rig in #BitwigStudio where I can perform it from my MIDI fader controller and using an FX Grid patch for signal processing of MIDI it is all very smooth and lovely to work with.

I also discovered that presently only the #VST2 plugin for #VCVRack works as expected from session to session (Clap and VST3 do some very weird and unwanted things).

So here is a 5 minute ramble into the void from this morning.

Discovered a new #benjolin trick last night and fuuuuck I love that weird little thing

Edit: Added an explanation of the benjolin, for reference

This preview of the upcoming #Venom #VCVRack #Venjolin (#Benjolin Dave Benjamin, AKA Venom style) preview is very, very interesting. Could be #BonkWave or even #NotBonkWave…

@mosgaard @doktorlond @bazkie @jwcph I think I fit in a more minimalist space where a possible new track for the Winter #BonkWave release tops out at 7-11 tracks for mixing. However, the #Benjolin patch track has a remarkably large amount of sound going on in it though.

I'm also experimenting with sticking to a limited pallet of plugins (Airwindows ConsoleLA & ToTape, VCV Rack and TUS Access Virus).

I'm nearing the point of calling this track done as I don't really want to over-polish it.

My beloved is #ReadingAloud the #JohnVarley novel #RollingThunder to me. It's a favourite past time where I get read to while I prepare meals. We've just gotten to the part where the protagonist has made #ElectronicMusic played against the sped up synchronous tone sequences made by some curious artefacts.

Friends, I think this may be a reference to a form of proto #BonkWave or #NotBonkWave as it sounds very much like what happens when I hear #Benjolin and #TuringMachine sequences and try to harmonise with it. It could also be #SpaceJazz.
