The Music Easle!

IMG_2897As the biggest surprise of last years NAMM show the Buchla Company (now BEMI) released their plans to re-build the Music Easle.
In their homeland USA they could sign around a 100 orders on the day of the release only (as they told themselves) later on they confirmed distributional agreements and collected orders and additional money from the rest of the world including europe. Our general distribution partner direclty ordered a bunch of units that has been preordered by clients in between, so these first ones are probably gone already. Because nobody knows, if and when the units will come, if they will work the way they should and how many pre-orders BEMI has on the list before us (and you), we should all together just go ahead wating in patience to talk further later on (?!).
If you really want one (?), we strongly recommend you to either set an order with a partner that does not ask YOU for a prepayment (international orders usually ARE prepaid) or to order from a partner around the corner, that you can trust to return the prepayment even if the unit does (unexpectingly) not come before you decide to buy something else one day. .. so Schneidersladen is taking care for a list, but all incoming orders NOW will be forwarded not before we once had a first working unit from our very early order on the desk. Thats why WE took the unit temporarily offline.

Pittsburger Togo!

P1080497The compact Pittsburg System 1 has been a good idea for starters by that symphatic young manufacturer Richard Nicol from Pittsburg. Finally now – about a half a year later – they came in and invite you to add another small halfmodular synth (the synthblock) with midi and out and more in a modular case to your  synth park for camparable low money now. You can also add further modules of nearly any kind in such a compact case if you are ready to find your own wooden side panels or other solutions (as seen in the pic).

Ohwiegajelisdasdenn?

Morgen in der Domstadt Köln: Hier die sehenswerte Videoeinführung für Rheinländer und andere Anrheiner wie rheinische Fro-Naturen wahrscheinlich geschnitten von Rainer? ..!

P1090298Even more fun on modulars you can have inside Music store cologne until October 24th now; next Thursday. Today we installed our Karussell with four mixed modular systems, a pure  Doepfer A-100 box and the Macbeth Micromac-D. Now you re invited to perform it all day long. If you have questions please talk with the staff, they are very nice and will try their best to help you. ..

50 YEARS MELLOTRON

mellotron_openThe Mellotron will celebrate its 50th anniversary now, looking back to a weird history of stolen rights, moneymakers, good and bad boys again and again. Luckily I read the whole story written down by the most competent collector of real mellotrones Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock. It is released in this months german KEYS magazine and really opens your mind for such a keyboard looking a bit boring on the first view. By the way Mellotron nowadays is still available from different sources, there is one guy in sweden that nobody really likes, the english gentlemen and another company from Germany that invented the modern (digital) remake of such a hardware instrument called Memotron. Their invention has been copied again by the swedish buddies so ..history s repeating!

Digitalanalog this weekend!

karussell-150x150In Munichs Gasteig this week the festival digitalanalog will happen again. SchneidersBuero will participate with the Karussell as already seen in London or Vienna once. Together with Dieter Doepfer on his modular system and Andreas Merz performing Sounds and Visuals the foyer will be performed by you and others at any time probably .. this Friday and Saturday, the entrance is free.
