BUBBLE SOUNDS !

Very soon there will be a new module by the newyorican manufacturer Bubblesound! After his SEM20 Filter he is now working on a uLFO offering probably much more than just the LFO. We placed an order and will keep you informed.

X-SERIOUS!

Mister Ken Macbeth himself came over today presenting his really existing wonderful new dual X-series oscillator for the 3 rackspace modular system. It will not take long time anymore that the first units  will be coming in to be sold. The frequency of both oscillators can be changed over a ten turn rounds pot as he made it in his earlier product M3X what was a brilliant idea for FM and modulations. Included there is a brilliant ringmodulator and noise and it is really two outstanding oscillators combined in a very smart way being made to play! The price is comparable to the size but it was much fun to put our hands on it!
There will be a second  module in the same size very soon being a  brilliant Filter including envelopes and VCAs. The combination of both as we had it in our showroom today is something comparable with a real minimoog ! .. even better! Reservations/your orders for an Oscillator will be accepted from now on the filter will need a few more weeks.

CWEJMAN..

.. will unfortunately need longer than expected for all of it!

Raketen im Anflug

The combination of a Cwejman VM-1, the Midi-CV-interface -a190-2 combined in a Doepfer beauty case is a brillint little compact synth that we call RAKETE now. There will be some available in about a month but unfortunately we will not be able to sell them for the price that has been published in the german magazine de-bug. In the end it will be sold in an extra thin black beauty cases cause its just the best solution and will cost you 759 EUR incl VAT then. Reservations can be set now on schneidersladen.

MINI SYNTHESIZER:

Neben dem DARK ENERGY wird auch der ODDULATOR schon bald das Licht der Welt erblicken. Nach dem parallelen stelldichein der Prototypen auf der Musikmesse in Frankfurt wird auch der digitale oddulator als Serie in schwarzem Gehäuse erscheinen, wir bleiben gespannt. Ausserdem wird es noch die RAKETE und den MICROCON MIDI von Technosaurus noch einmal in begenzten Stückzahlen geben. Verfügbar ist de Facto derzeit nichts von alledem, außer .. der A-111-5 ist gekommen. Es geht doch nichts über einfache Lösungen, die sofort funktionieren, brilliant!

MFB 522 in just one day:

After months of working down the list of preorders finally now Mr MFB is nearly as fast as sales go and we could have the 522 shipping out to you the very next day when you order. This could change when more people read the latest review in this months german KEYS magazine and elsewhere. Togther with the 522 there is also a report about the Miami by  acidlab that is unfortunately not available over resellers at all.
And on page 19 there is a picture of the space station, where I was reminded to let you know about the Ursa Major modul to come: It is hard work to make a brilliant reverberation for the modular and so it could still take a bit, but it will come for sure, we will let you know!

OCTOPUS OS 1.62 ..

..has been released in a beta version now: The kick and the news is the hypersteps: Hypersteps officially promote the Octopus (and the Nemo also later on) to become the polyrhythm machines par excellence. Being in beta still, you could find it in the download area of the manufacturers website to check it out. Als online again is their forum to chat about your opinions about it.

THE HARVESTMAN ..

still ships just a part of our existing order, so mostly of your needs can be fulfilled end of next week, just tow of the Sound-of-thunder clients still have to be patient, they will need another few weeks for coming over.

Sync Shifting ..

The sync shifter from Australia will be coming again soon. Unfortunately the sync lock will still need a bit more time, something has been much more complicated as expected.

ANALOGUE SOLUTIONS:

The british manufacturer Tom Carpenter alias analogue solutions now released a halfmodular version of his Synthesizer Semblance called Telemark. The outstanding metal case is equipped with small jacks, such as in the Semblance its sound is very special, the quality of our first serial model is brilliant. Also with the Leipzig-K – a wooden cased keyboard version – he has shown that his production quality has become much better over the last few years. Give it a try if you want, we have both on Demo.

MACBETH 4 3HE!

Finally I trust in Ken Macbeth making it real now: After different plans for keyboard synthesizers such as the X-Factor changing into concrete Minimooglike-filtermodules pricing discussions now our big friend from scotland is making a dual oscillator for the 3 rackspace system! Finally today we ordered some in silver and a very limited number of black ones that will be just sold from here for very special friends. The retail is 1249 EUR, street price in Europe will be around 1199 including VAT, formless orders can be placed from now on, the shipping date stays unclear but it will happen this summer !!
