Rob Hordijk - Synth Designer RIP


Sad news that  Dutch synth designer Rob Hordijk based in the Hague was known for his work on 5U systems as well chaos generators Blippoo Box and Benjolin which had the excellently named Rungler module.

Blippoo Box

Hordijk was big into chaos theory and as such so were his designs, which means as a more mainstream synth user, you may have not been aware of his designs. But inside the synth community he was well known and liked. We sadly never got to meet him

Rob announced his retirement in 2017 and sadly  passed away at the young age of 64. He will be missed by many. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.

Here's a video shot at Leeds Modular Meets in 2017
