I love it when John Barker tells us all these Metamatic facts
Lemme get this right though - cos I think I've "hocketed" many times myself, I just never knew that was what it was called! lol
The wikipedia describes it in terms of mediaeval music, but the synth equivalent is that thing where you have a monosynth, and if the note-triggering priority is the right way round, you can hold one finger on a low (or high, if it's the other way round) note and stab out other notes with another finger, leaving a gap between them so that the oscillator keeps zipping down to the held note in between them?
And then if you put an echo repeat on it of a suitable length you can get really cool sounding things as the echos overlap in different bits of the gaps ...
