Finally got both Hordijks set up in the studio. We had to get a bit clever (but not too clever) because the standard system cases have ball corners and won’t sit flat. So we drilled some indentations into the desk. Still this won’t prevent system from pitching forward when unpatched so we came up with a simple hack around the handle.
While it lends the air of a dungeon, this setup so far feels more natural to interact with than the recommended stand. With the K&M stand you still have to angle the case correctly to prevent forward pitching, and of course the stand makes the system rest higher making patching a bit awkward when seated.
We setup the Roland MPU-101(originally purchased for Laurie Spiegel Music Mouse MIDI -> CV) right next to the left system, so that gives us a direct route from sequencing up to 4 voices in Logic. Voice stacked patches are really simple due to the Hordijk VCOs having the option to be tuned to C + the 1/v oct chain outputs. Haven’t had an opportunity to really crosspatch both systems but definitely looking forward to it!
As far as interesting sonic experiments, finally got around to running a drum computer (TR-09) through the SHAPER and the FRQ SHIFTER - both sound, really, really good
