Cwejman cancelled:

The workshop with Wowa Cwejman – planned for May, 13th – has unfortunately been cancelled by the inventor himself right now. We are very sorry for this to those who already confirmed their participation and look forward to a new date in autumn this year hopefully.

Cwejman workshop!

On May 13th we will have Wowa Cwejman in the house giving an overview on his latest module releases. Still and again one of the most prominent modular manufacturers in the popular eurorack system will explain his ideas of BLD, MMF-6, random and transients. Admission in time is strongly recommended. Follow the link from EVENTs, please.

Flower electronics..

.. is still the only company where a female engineer is realizing her ideas of an electronic musical instrument. Their latest product is now coming to europe very soon, the T_NG is a touch sensitive noise generator. When you touch the pads on the pcb, you create feedback loops around the circuit. You can make the t_ng hiss, squeak, chirp, groan, and squeal. Their current product the LBBt_ng_sm is still available from stock in very limited numbers being restocked also very soon. Were happy being able to offer you such units again soon.

Competent Resellers..

.. such as  good shops for musical instruments and/or creative electronic tools from all over Europe can now ask for our latest pricelist to become a partner of the family. If you think it would make sense to see our products in certain places, you can also give us a hint per email.

Neue Zwerge by MFB

mfb_urzwergThe Urzwerg by MFB is his latest release and a four track cv/gate sequencer following midi clock, transpose commands and more in another of his handy desktop casings. The very first demo unit can now be tested in schneidersladen, serial models to be shipped will be ready very soon.

modular sensorics..

Modules to touch, press or push are en vogue now:  The Synthwerks modul to push the button called MG-1 as well as the Quad Force Sensing Resistor Module FSR-4 has been recalculated now. The FSR-4 is selling for 249 retail only – we made a limited introduction price of 229 only for direct sales nowsynthwerks. It is simple and fun.

303 clones ..

.. has been seen a lot in between. Compared to the original those XOX ones from different manufacturers are a good compensation if you could not get your hands on an original. In Frankfurt we met again Alex from XOXsource who is the american manufacturer of such, he gave an interview with our friends at sonic state that you can see here. Apart from them there are also comparable european comanies making some for direct sales only – sorry.

Sevenwoods audio

The modular reverberation by sevenwoods audio – already shown in frankfurt 2009 as a prototype – is still on its way to get completed. Now the inventor gave us a status in between saying that the follow up model of the popular Ursa Major SST-206 not soo easy to get it in the right form. There is hope for a final version in the second half of 2010, we will keep you posted here.

HAKEN Continuum ..

The awaited Version 4 firmware for the Haken continuum controller is now available from the manufacuturers site as a download. It includes expanded internal sounds, many improvements to the Continuum Editor Mac/PC application, and a new capability to define formulas for each of the Continuum Voltage Converter’s outputs.
