Macumbista Butterfly Benjolin + Dual AM/RM | Low-gain Electronics

video upload by LowgainElectronics

"Updated my v4/5 Butterfly Benjolin to include one of my Dual AM/RM modules. On the left Benjolin i wired it as per Macumbista’s new ring mod block diagram. With the dual AM/RM circuit you can have the modulator do either ring modulation or TZ amplitude modulation. So that makes for some fun. On the right side I wanted to keep the second AM/RM isolated so you can plug in anything you want to it. Far right side has X/Y inputs. Middle has output and mode switch (AM/RM) and i swapped the external input to the filter to a switching jack and wired a banana back to the normal so you can patch anything banana format into it as well. Internally the external banana jack has a trim pot to adjust the gain amount."

Testing patch, from DivKid, from Rob Hordijks FAKE Reverb with Ring Modulation.

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

"‪@DivKid‬ 's releasing a very interesting video (as usual).
from an idea of Rob Hordijks.
I let you seeing all the explanations here:[below]

So, why not testing it by myself ?
At first, I'll using my Random*Source / SERGE modules.
And stupidly, I was forgetting that my DUAL UNDULA OSCILLATOR has all functions to test the idea ! So I'm testing the idea with it.
And after that, I'm digressing around the stereo possibilities of my module and the MS (mid/side) option.

Ok, I didn't have a lot of time (busy after SuperBooth...) so it's a bit "from scratch"... Hope you will enjoy it :)"

How to FAKE Reverb with Ring Modulation // Rob Hordijks ‘Poor Mans Delays’ [BETTER BLEEPS]

video upload by DivKid

"So here's a bit of story and the first BETTER BLEEPS video in a long time!

With Chris from Moog sharing Rob Hordijk's trick to emulate reverb wth Ring Modulation in the recent Superbooth video, that of course sparked questions. So strap in with a brew for a time travel trip back to 2017 where Rob Hordijk gave a tutorial with his "poor mans delay" technique and stay tuned for going through the technique and method with us in the video. Grab the free PDF and VCV Rack patch for further material on the technique. Links below.

This is applicable to many modules and bits of gear, to that point after the main demo with Manic (DivKid & Apollo View) I go through it with 4 more modules (Instruo VinCA, cLFO from AtoV, Ouija from Nekyia and A*B+C by Befaco)."

It's a Rungle outthere | Cybernetics EP02 | From Benjolin to Blippoo Box

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The Benjolin is a powerful module. For many, it's a chaotic noise source, which was exactly the point of the design. The Blippoo Box is less chaotic, more musical and designed as an experimental instrument. It's more a Pandora's Box. Both have the Rungler in common. It refers to a shift register circuit, but also to the 5U module that includes two VCO's and is not unlike the Benjolin's chaotic core. I do not own a Blippoo Box for obvious reasons (it's now priceless) but I do love my Benjolin. It's going to be a noisy video where I'll try the Rungler concept on Marbles and XAOC Leibniz.
Marbles is a cool extension to the Benjolin, and the Benjolin can also be a great conventional complex VCO.

Rob Hordijk designed the Rungler module (and circuit) to cover the space between a fundamental sinewave and the total chaos of white noise. A creative source of designer noise to enrich your patch. And wow, what a designer he was."

When Forbidden Planet And Chaos Theory Meet - The Blippoo Box

video upload by HAINBACH

""Forbidden Planet in a box" - the Blippoo Box by the late Rob Hordijk is a wonderfully out there electronic instrument. Based on chaos theory and a love for vintage Sci-Fi it creates organic and liquid tones that keep inspiring even after a long time. Originally made in small batches and sold for about 650EUR, it became very desired among hardcore synthesizer freaks and experimental musicians. This drove prices up to the thousands even during Rob's lifetime, and even higher after. I never thought I would own one, but a lucky trade happened. In this video I tell the tale of the Third Monk (as written by Uncle Meatball), demo the Blippoo's sound and features, as well as showing modern alternatives.

THE First Surviving BENJOLIN Synthesizer. And the story is quite interesting!

Follow-up to The Worlds First Benjolin - Sample Pack - Obsolete Soundlab

"The Blippo Extravaganza Benjolin, The survivng Plinth, Built By the late Rob Hordijk and Kassen. Which is believed to be the first surviving Benjolin, or very close to that!"

Entanglement

video upload by Martin Peters

"I have been noodling away on the guitar for quite a while now. Looking for new inspiration and musical insights. Doing this I sort of neglecting the synthesizers. I barely touched them since our last Beyond Berlin concert on E-Day in April 2023. In Januari I bought the Behringer Victor module and came up with this music. Last Thursday I switched the synths on again and the music was still in the Cirklon. I added some bits and recorded the music. What you see is the second take because in the first take the Minimoog solo's were not good enough.
It starts with a sequence on the Behringer Victor. Then the bass from the Synthesizers.com modular comes in. After that sequences from the Rob Hordijk OSC HRM, Oberheim SEM, Verbos Harmonic Oscillator, Korg Opsix and DSI Mopho are added. Strings are from the Waldorf Q Keyboard and the solo's from the Moog Minimoog."

Audio, modulation, or both? Let's make a sample-and-hold feedback patch à la Rob Hordijk.

Hordijk Improv for September 2

video upload by Todd Barton

"In Der Bosch, Netherlands on September 2 friends of Rob Hordijk celebrated his life, legacy, genius and lovely humanity. His dear friends Richard Scott, Biyi Ames and Joker Nies performed live and I offered this remote/virtual live performance.
Studio monitors and a sub recommended."

Hordijk Five Snippets

video upload by Todd Barton

"I've used this same patch for the previous two video explorations. I will conclude and pull this patch now and move on. These three videos are a tribute to Rob Hordijk's genius: the fact that, without changing patch cables and only adjusting knobs, I can get such diverse characters of self-playing patches! I don't find this kind of range and variety on my other synths."

Three Hordijk Variations

video upload by Todd Barton

"Same patch: Three Variations of knob settings. Checkout HORDIJK 2023: Rob always loved to explain his theories and concepts and show it to people as well. Here he is explaining at the Sines and Squares Festival, 8 years ago. Any questions? On September 2nd, Den Bosch, Netherlands, you can ask the expert companions of Rob Hordijk and hear them perform.

Hordijk Random Moments

Wingie Blippoo + TouchOSC

video upload by UncertainMusicCorps

"Quick runout for the alternative Wingie firmware, inspired by Rob Hordijk's original box of controlled chaos.

Control of the beastie is greatly enhanced by the superb TouchOSC template created by Mod Wiggler member bcomnes

Here I'm running the Wingipoo out through Lancet Retroverb spring reverb for extra metal drippiness.

This video is often loud and has a very wide frequency range so choose your playback device accordingly"
