Rob Hordijk

Rob Hordijk, a “synthesizer designer and builder,” is fascinated by modulation in modular synthesizers, where every function can affect another. His designs prioritize musician comfort, inspired by his EMS Putney synth and a desire to avoid the ergonomic pitfalls of early Doepfer systems. Hordijk simplifies designs to enhance functionality, believing limitations strengthen creativity. He applies chaos theory to create musical results, emphasizing the difference between chaotic and random behavior. This philosophy extends to his module construction, with a focus on ease and consistency. Learn more here https://sdiy.info/wiki/Rob_Hordijk_Design
