XR-1 sold out (nearly)

cgxr1-altThe first small serial production of the XR-1 by Christian Guenther has been sold our quickly.  The inventor is now working on a follow up model with an additional bypass switch connection at least to be realized soon.

VERMONA reloaded!!!

Vermona, located in Erlbach, today ship their latest creations of the Lancet series.

kick_lancet_fWe are very exited about the first audible impressions here at Schneidersladen!

KICK LANCET is a further improved version of Vermona’s tremendous kick launched first in the DRMII Drumsynthesizer. While now even more parameters are offered to create a wider range of drumsounds this stand-alone device accepts dynamic gate signals and audio signals as trigger source too.

Well done!

MONO LANCET is a monophonic desktop synth housing two superstable osc’s, a powerful 24dB lowpass filter which is capable of playing a true sine tone  stable over a range of 2 1/2 octaces when self resonating!

At the end of the signal path we find a great sounding vca.

A 25 pole sub-D socket offers great access to the audio – and signal path!

We expect the units to be here thursday evening when the MFB workshop takes place.

MOTM delayed

705px-nuclear_fireballMOTM kindly asked us for a little more patience since they had difficulties shipping yesterday. Paul Schreiber promised to do the shipment early next week meaning monday or tuesday.

Of course sometimes unexpected things just happen in the real life and so we don’t get mad and hope you won’t either.

And since his two brilliant eurorack modules E340 and E350 are irreplacible by any other tool availible in the free world we have to take it anyways.

MACHT LIEBE!

MFB rebellion of the zwerg (dwarf)

MFB will be shipping Nanozwerg and Urzwerg finally now. Both are small but stout!

messe1The tiny NANOZWERG forces Doepfers Dark Energy into hard competition! Equipped with either noise or suboctave, an LFO with abilty to be CV-controlled and therefor to be used as a second playable oscillator plus a multimode filter at almost half the price of Dark Energy! MFB things seem to be turned upside down!

URZWERG, only slightly bigger than his little yellow mate, is the first small cv/gate sequencer that offers 4 chainable tracks of 8 steps each while the user may define independent loop size for each track still.
Select quantization or run free, set max amount of CV-output, gate time length and glide factor for track 1+2 and 3+4 individually!

As if all that wasn’t enough to convince the modular/analogue community Urzwerg lets you voltage control the internal clock too. So it may run slower/faster thru certain steps. This is the very first time a pricy sequencer introduces such a powerful feature. Of course you can also totally replace the internal clock by any other clock-like source.

All those you love randomization may set the unit to random step adressing.

Premium information and guidance is also offered Thursday, 17th of june (this week) here at Schneidersladen at 6pm when we have Uwe George Giegler of MFB in the house.

Spasiba Scott!

mikhail_gorbachev_1987_bScott Sebastianowitsch Jaeger, better known as THE HARVSTMAN, will ship POLIVOKS filters of his iron curtain collection next week. Same thing as ever, preorders will be shipped and stock filled up.

[Thanks to all the people on both sides of the curtain but especially to Michail Sergejewitsch Gorbatschow this was made possible!]

DOSWIDANJA!

MOTM is coming

Paul Schreiber of MOTM yesterday confirmed he will ship the E350 MORPHING TERRARIUM and E340 CLOUD GENERATOR in back order on thursday! Which means arrival in Berlin should be about a week later. So everyone who has been patiently waiting on one of those will get served!

Thank you Paul!

OBERHEIM PRICING

Due to the bad exchange rate we now have to raise  prices for another product.

The SEM-Modul will from now on cost 950,-€ incl. VAT.

We will deliver all preordered units as offered, so for 850,-!

Our pricing calculation reaches back to the point when the exchange rate used to be around 1€ :1,60$ , so importing goods from the states became about 25% more expensive to us, and sadly so to you.

We know some of you feel very upset about the latest changes in our price list, but we simply can’t help it.  Probably the bankers in Frankfurt, New York etc. are the better ones to be blamed / ashamed!

RESTOCKING CWEJMAN

We are glad to have the following modules back in stock:

AP-1VCA-4MXCRV-24BLDMMF-6FSH-1RES-4 and  MX-4S!!!

Check out RES-4 and BLD!

RES-4 is an amazing and thrilling filter device to be used either as a sound generator or sound shaper. It’s one of the most expensive, yeah, but also one of the greatest! Like Rocky Balboa!

And the BLD is the most cheapest way get a complete CWEJMAN voice! Capable of a huge range of sounds it covers drums, leads , blibs and blobs as well as anything inbetween. modulate the envelopes and the noise level and generate highly dynamic sounds!
