are their top sellers at the time. Some more modules by 4ms came in and went out so quickly that we did not even make proper pics. More ones will be coming soon, have a look over hier and see Navs comments over here about it first.
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.
.. 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.
The 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.
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 now. It is simple and fun.
.. 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.
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.
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.
Looking around the web I also found a site called IHAVESYNTH giving impressions of private users of hardware including knowledge and promotion for all the blofelds we dont talk about – mostly.
.. are on the web by our friend NAV: He was playing with the choices by flight of harmony. They also made e a brilliant delay module called sound of shadows now – by the way!. The other review is showing the pressure points by make noise on navs modular lab over here. In between we also got the FSR1 by the newcomer Synthwerks, also from the US. From my personal view the FSR1 is more sensibel after they used the more expensive pressure sensors.
.. did finally realize his midified version of his nowadays remake of the SEM module. The midiversion looks like this and can be ordered here. There is still a waiting list unfortunately that we are working down step by step.
.. alias Macbeth studiosystems has sent some more of his famous dual oscillators and backendfilters for the eurorack system again. So for a while we could ship if you want us to. In addition he is on the way to finally realize a huge 5 rackspace oscillator, we will keep you informed asap here!

After a few months of more important private issues Ken Macbeth now sent again some dual oscillators and the first bunch of the brilliant backendfilters that has been announced in his workshop november 2009 to come next week. So if you ordered already, thank you for your patience, if you did not you better do it now.
Metasonix has now sent a first bunch of the R54 supermodule, what is in fact a modular tube oscillator making his little series of modular components for the eurorack nearly complete (for now!). The oscillator is not yet uploaded to our webshop but you can send formless mail-orders if you want one.
Some more of you are waiting for their tiptop products, unfortunately there is still a delay on shipping caused by some trouble with spare parts. Please have another little patience for their Oscillator Z3000 and the matrix sequencer Z8000 at least.

Dem Chaosradio alle Ehre gemacht habe ich mit einem Podcast über Synthesizer, der da für Einsteiger sein sollte. Ich musste heute selber staunen wie lange ich da erzählt habe und gebe hiermit gerne zu, daß es etwas bündiger hätte sein können, Manchmal habe ich doch etas viel im die Ohren. Es war ein netter Plausch und wie ich Kommentaren entnehmen konnte, erhellt es doch auch des ein oder anderen Gemüt. Hier der LINK !
Dingdong DIY Workshop MY very first selfmade video is showing some impressions now from our very last workshop: roundabout 20 friends at once have been soldering themselves a DINGDONG do it yourself synthesizer initiated by LEAF Audio and Curetronic in our office at Berlins Kottbusser Tor. It was a nice evening.
In February 2010 there was a workshop with around 20 participators that soldered themselves a kit called DINGDONG initiated by LEAF AUDIO. This video is a short documentary about the athmosphere this evening and their results in SchneidersBuero above Berlins Kottbusser Tor.

Yesterday In London, UK I met a musician called Martin Richardson who is on the step opening up a real store for modular gear and analogue stuff within this year. We had a nice conversation and agreed to cooperate further. We will need another few months to get it done having it easy for the clients and assorted with all the manufacturers but we will let you know about it. Until then Martin planned to give you updates on what will come on his webpage called Vortalsystems.co.uk soon.
.. came in and went out again except each one! they are brilliant and clients who got them are happy. The E340 cloud generator will be in limited stock again in around ten days, the E350 morphing terrarium in about 20 days probably. One of our clients made a brilliant video on the E350 morphium terminator.
For one or two weeks already we have two out of those nice little Leploops by their italian inventor Antonio in stock. These units are not to be sold for 375 EUR only as it was posted on matrixsynth once, we paid more per unit ourselves – no shipment to germany nor VAT included (!). They are made even better now than ten pre serial models as reviewed in germanys magazine de_bug >(#138) but the new ones will sell for 599 EUR now, whats still calculated very friendly. If youre interested, please check out one of them in our showroom yourselves or just send us a formless mail, the item is not online yet, we work on it, thank you for some patience.

I just updated all Dates and infos i have about the forthcoming workshops in Schneidersladen for now. Please feel free to have a look and give us your confirmations as soon as possible if you are keen seeing people like Dieter Doepfer cooking something special shortly before the Musikmesse (?!) where we dont go !

.. on monday finally! Were looking forward to get those good new modules in!
The first big bunch of the pressure points by makenoise is on the way to us! The inventor informed us about the shipment yesterday, so we are happy to get them in very soon!
After uncounted inquiries for ‘available’ products we would like to let you know, that mostly units are not in our stock nor available before WE know of it. Usually we recognize incoming goods quite well and inform our clients as soon as we can, sometimes you are indeed faster than we are, sorry, but .. : (Sometimes..) ..nervous manufacturers and busy collueges from all over the world like to state an item as available in that Moment where there is the plan to send it now. So please – dear Manufacturer – feel free to let us know about it in time, that we can update our files to just have some clicks left when the package arrives. And please – dear customer – trust in us as we trust in the manufacturers telling us that e.g. none of the sequencer EUROPA has been shipped nowhere so far, that there has been NO MOTM modules shipped to us already and that the Updates of TheHarvestman are not always possible nor easy nor fixing all kind of problems – sorry.
b.t.w… Hunde die gerade bellen, beissen ja nicht und ich glaube, auch Hersteller die gerade zwitschern, verpacken nicht (?).
.. did not ship already! Synthesis Technologies a.k.a. MOTM will send the first batch of their modules Cloudgenerator and Morphing Terrarium not before this monday. This is totally fine and makes us happy after at least one whole month with uncounted mails to clear up that we really do not have them already..
There is a (german) film online now explaining the idea of soldering your own first little synthesizer called bingbong. At the time there are still some participators welcome, the places are imited. So please feel free to join us on Feb 25th in SchneidersLaden and confirm your participation here soon.
Beneath other matrix sequencers and controllers tiptopaudio now released their Z8000. The first quilified review online has been released by NAVs modular lab over hier!

We will go for it, you can preorder formless only – so far.
.. was offering their eurorack version of aSerge VCS as quite a prominent module once. Now the Bananalogue VCS was topped in sales by a ‘dual version and more‘ called MATHS by makenoise .
