It seems like the will kick the minitaur. Staff at SchneidersLaden now checked the new release from the US and has very big hope that the soon coming comparable original from scotland will be indeed the better although its the more expensive.
Unfortunately the scotsmans synth will cost more than the double of its american brother but it seems like it could be correct. We will see once we have it in our hands. Now see a preview on Ken s Minimac on the web here and make your preorder in time over here !

We just reorganized the showroom having some demos left that we would like to sell out now for special prices. Please have a look for them here .. the english site does not work properly but see the prices on the german site,  if you want to, thank you.

There has been a delivery, sure, but this monday again we are sold out on these beautiful instruments. So the normal waiting-list-business is on again. The good things come to those who wait…
S1 is still being sold in pearl white.
Also modules follow up in production now. There is for example the chance to catch a BLD these days! Or little amount of MMF-1.

Navs modular lab wrote a post about WMDs phase displacement oscillator and published an audio demo here. He also gave a few words on synthesis technologies E350 and the cylonix cyclebox. Listen and love it or leave it and have a good day!

A short explanation to everybody who is new in the modular/analog world: often we are asked why it takes so long for some products to be back in stock and why the delivery times can be so long.

See, nowadays we live in a fast world where we are used to order stuff and get them immediately. Well, in our branch it is different, as most of our manufactures work completely alone or in very small companys and some of them still make (parts of) their products by hand. It´s not mass production from Far East where our manuafcturers get containers of readymade products. Besides the production job they manufacturers also are busy to invent new and interesting modules and synths - and that´s what´s it all about, right?

We always try our best to deliver as soon as possible and to have it in stock for pick up in our shop. But the analog world still is a little village and good things need time - so if some product takes a while to be available please just take a breath and be patient - we and the manufacturers try the best to make you happy and don´t forget you !!! Cheers

London is great, but it seems like Antverp in Belgium is at least the same attractive. Today HerrSchneider will offer an introduction into hardware and some sounds around the screening of the documentary ‘totally wired’ in the Scheld’Apen. If you can make it to get there, we will probably have a good time.

This Wednesday in London we will celebrate our first synthesizer day at Rough Trade East.
Starting at 2pm there will be workshops on modular systems with Andreas Schneider, Holger Zapf will be introducing the Folkstrautonium by Trautoniks over a Vermona ReTubeverb,  Steve Jones will be playing beats on a brandnew VXXY by cronic, Adam Lacey will perform the Alphasphere, Martin Klang brings his blipbox 4CV and Franz from Berlin will be playing the Testsalon.

Later on there will be Wolfgang Seidel - founding member of Ton Steine Scherben - playing a Kassetten Konzert to finish the day with a good performance for all of us.  I am looking forward meeting you there hoping for a good athmosphere and a nice ambient, with warm regards from somewhere on the Autobahn (!).

If you dont know about our London showroom yet, look this little film to understand - wednesday will be different again.

6 out of 11 of the most beloved desktop synthesizers from this collection (on de-Bug) are most probably bought at Schneidersladen, thank you and my congratulation also to MFB, the over all most prominent brand in this kind of  contest .. anyway .. better find your own unit with testing and listening to whatever you buy before you get it.

A nowadays remake of the ‘volktrautonium’ once designed to make the masses play electronic melodies at home will be introduced on our ’synthesizer day‘ at Rough Trade East this wednesday. Feel free to step in, have a good time and play some music.
