'''Rob Hordijk Original Design''' are the [[West Coast]] style [[5U]] modules designed and crafted by Rob Hordijk; based in The Hague, Netherlands. Except for the [[Rob Hordijk Benjolin|Benjolin]], the designs are not available for DIY.
 
== The modules ==
All circuitry is original and follows Rob's own concepts based on over thirty years experience in [[sound synthesis]] and [[electronic design]].<ref name="rh">Rob Hordijk</ref> He has complete control over the whole module building process; R&D, [[prototyping]], panel design, cutting, drilling, [[PCB etching]] and populating, final hardware assembly, calibration and testing. All components and every piece of hardware is carefully selected for reliability and comfort in use.<ref>Muff Wiggler forum:[http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53265&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 The Hordijk project]</ref> Panels with the signature ''Original Rob Hordijk Design'' are both designed and built by Rob Hordijk.<ref name="rh" />
 
== Rob Hordijk ==
Rob Hordijk has been playing around with synths and computers since [[Sequencer|sequencing]] some [[analog]] stuff around 1982 with an RCA 1802 based [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=908http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=908 SuperElf] processor board. Later switching to an Apple ][+ and the Mountain Hardware Music System, for which he developed a Forth language version that could do all sorts of stuff with the Mountain cards, like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karplus%E2%80%93Strong_string_synthesis KarplusStrong-type] plucked string sounds and pitch shifting. His first introduction to a [[DSP]] was to the DMX1000 around 1984. In 1986 he switched to Atari ST and an Akai S900. These days he is a [http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul04/articles/nord.htm Clavia Nord Modular G2] aficionado.<ref>[http://electro-music.com/forum/post-10645.html&highlight=#10645 Hello to you all], electro-music.com forum, 29 March 2004</ref>
