Modular System for X-mas?

.. synthesizers could make one happy, too! If you plan to order something that you would like to have under or instead of a christmas tree – lightning could be even better – we strongly recommend to plan it and ask for availability in time. Usually this is not done in a day and we will recommend you to oversleep your indivdiual selection and constellation, but .. please call in or come in or start reading about it – if, then –  now.

the truth and the real one..

modeldsNext to our Minimoog demo in the showroom Berlin, we have placed and original Minimoog with an extra portion of patina and the smell of 40 years of stage carreer. Please be very careful comparing the original with the remake.

Personally I still wonder that people go for such an expensive remake when there are so many interesting new possibilities to make music in the market, but thinking further  .. in the end .. playing a keyboard on an ipad? .. no.

Modular Promotions

dsc_0034To explain the idea of modulars and let more people understand the possibilities of such instruments to make music, to learn about maths, frequencies sounds and moods over low voltages and to meet old and new friends we are often on the roads in europe visiting festivals, synth meetings, musical instrument shows and other retail stores over years already.
Yesterday evening I stood in the berlin based schneidersLaden showroom and reflected that at the same time Patrick Detampel is on his way to Munich to explain the latest news of the Doepfer black magic there while Holger Zapf is on the ferry to the UK to explain the source of eurorack on two festivals this weekend. So if you would like to learn more about what we do over here dont hesitate to ask for help, we could be around.

Next Workshop at SchneidersLaden: (?) Dec, 1st or 8th
Workshops in Munich (bei Just Music)  .. and learn
more about Analogue Systems in the UK on the
sines and squares festival in Manchester now.
