INternational affairs

chesnaWe recognized many customers coming from countries outside the european union often do not know that they do not have to afford VAT here. When mail ordering the prices excluding VAT matter to you only. These are shown on the web shop right besides the normal inclusive prices.

[All people located inside the EU have to pay this because they may benefit from all the autobahn, hospitals and schools being built from all the taxes!]

The shipping rates are mostly affordable. Shipping two Cwejman modules to either תֵּל־אָבִיב (Tel Aviv), Екатеринбург (Jekaterinburg), New York or 東京 (Tokio) will cost about 20,- to 30,-€ .. rates to South Africa and Australia can be slightly higher…
All people from those countries who visit Germany and make a purchase here may claim the VAT back at the airport they leave from via cash refund offices.

We wish happy holidays

Holiday season starts and we wish all our customers a wonderful holiday – take your synth to the beach and have fun with your family or your dog

but some of our beloved  colleques making in holiday too – and may there will be days were we need a bit longer for support etc …

please forgive us ….

so ve fun & tons of good music -!

MODCAN is on

mcfmvdo_fullToday the three oscillators modcan is fitting to eurorack format arrived here at our premisses.
We mounted these directly into the demo rack in our SCHAURAUM for you to put some hands on.

Worms and Birds

For a short period of time there is an exhibition in Berlins Galerie Walden showing the work of Marco marco2-031Riedel, an early client of SchneidersBuero who unfortunately passed away this year. An installation that he made for relaxation was equipped with a little A-100 modular system making and/or changing sounds depending on a number of stretching ropes (see picture) from roof to ground where you are invited to hang yourselves in (carefully!).  We tried our best and its not working completely the way it should, but it alt least opens new horizons for “classic” modular users – perhaps?
“the early worm got the bird”,  until June 23rd only:
Thu, Fri, Sat: 3pm – 7pm, Backyard Potsdamer Str. 91, Berlin

Micromac update:

micromac_r_dKen Macbeth was giving us an update on the upcoming supersynth called Micromac today: There will be two versions, one for the modular eurorack (Micromac-R) and one more expensive desktop version (Micromac-D) probably both coming in around July/August 2012.
The DT model will have two LFOs instead of one and even more extra features, it will be cased and come with an external AC power supply.
The modular Version will have the unbelievable size of 57HP (!!),  is equipped for the standard doepfer A-100 power supply and finally .. for the extra features of the DT version Ken is planning an additional breakout box for the modular that should be released later on.
We are very much looking forward to get our little portion of them in, for both models we started to collect pre-reservations already, if you really think about getting one of them, you better do that now.

VIXXY in stock!

vxxy_dcm8The new uk drummachine called VXXY is available from stock for a probably short period of time, we could not even edit it for the onlineshop cause we just had to play around but it will happen these days.  Call in if its urgent or send a mail.

tiptop stock:

tiptoptapTiptop audio stuff has been restocked. We also recalculated all the prices, some dropped and some had to be increased, look yourselves here and don’t buy crap!

We tear down the wall!

Again we will tear down a wall – this time as an indoors event and out of public:  On Tuesday = June, 12th we are completely closed to public exceptionally towards this event. So if you want to have a look for synths and modular either come on monday or stay home until its thursday again .. or just call or mail us.

Chaos Engines

chaosblackside388Nicks World of Synthesizers presented their Chaos Engine and we ordered a few after having a single very first model in our shop now on demo. Its very good fun and totally fair.

It seems like we will be able to sell them for just 129 EUR inlc. VAT.

MFB Dominion

mfbdomxThe latest release by MFB is a complex storable synth with very smart functions packed in wooden side cheeks called the Dominion. Finally it will not need any Filterchips by other manufacturers and thats good: Our friends at MFB found a much better solution now that will be available shortly. The cases and the look has been done as you see very well on our new own pics by Paul P (see above).

Folkstrautonium

trauto_pf024The Trautoniks VT –  a remake of the idea of a “volkstrautonium” from last centuries twenties will soon be available again in a very nice wooden case. The first pre-serial model has been introduced to public already during Londons Synthesizer day at RTE and during the introduction of the dBS music school in berlins british embassy last week.

The cyclebox affair

These days many people wondered about the strong price increase on the famous CYCLEBOX!

Last year we were able to offer the first batch of Cycleboxes for a very good price, partly related to better exchange rates as well, but unfortunately the price we pay for the product now has increased (39%). We don´t want to squeeze out our customers out like sicilian oranges so we tried to compensate the price though, so we might earn  less now but we´re still able to offer you the Cyclebox for a reasonable price if internationally compared.

I very much hope this clears all questions. Very soon we expect more Cycleboxes to be available.
Regardless of the price this is still the most versatile digital oscillator avalible in this format!!!!!
