Written on . Posted in about NEW products .., eurorack modular .., events and meetings .., shipping times ...

 A lot of new things to see at NAMM in Anaheim this year.

qubit sequenzerQuBit Electronics show the already released OCTANE, a CV and gate sequencer module with integrated clock generator, quantizer and memory banks. Two modules can be cascaded to achieve longer sequences and to get more memory! Available again in few weeks for ~330USD

CHORD, a four voice polyphonic DCO i.e. an analog VCO with digital control. The oscillators’ frequencies can be synched, easily tuned to chords with inversions of course. It has mute and voltage controllable waveshape per VCO. Price will be between 500-600 USD and it will be available Qbit_ChordMixologyin April.

ANA (not pictured) is one VCO from the Chord, only 2HP wide but still a full VCO for only 150USD.

MIXOLOGY prototype is a voltage mixer module with 4 mono and two stereo channels. It features voltage control over level and panorama as well as mute and solo that can be activated with gates. Will be released mid-summer.

Speaking of powerful mixers, WMD has a prototype of the PERFORMANCE MIXER on display. Eight channels, voltage control of a number of parameters, a headphone out as well as a cue function, wither to pre-listen to a channel or to create a sub-mix. 650USD, available in summer.

WMD-performancemixer2   WMD_gws2-aperture

Other gear by WMD are an early prototype of the Gamma Wave Source 2 wavetable oscillator – harsh and gritty as ever but more flexible and easier to use. The APERTURE is a variable width bandpass filter with individual LP and HP resonance settings. A number of additional feedback options can make it sound nasty. Will be released in one to two months for ~350USD.

4ms-sampler 4ms are there as well and present a prototype of the DUAL TRIGGERED SAMPLER, a monster of an clockable audio sampling module with lots of memory banks, voltage control of important parameters. A SD card slot allows for really long sampling time. Use one channel to playback, the other to re-record the processed sample material. Infinite possibilities.

Wondering what’s new at Schneiders? Well, you got the questions, we got the answers:

TipTop announced and already delivered their brand new fantastic effect cards for the Z-DSP: Time Fabric, a bunch of pitch shifting algorithms and Grain de Folie, a collection of granular processing.
Too bad they are already sold out but we re-ordered a lot to fulfill the demand. Christmas is coming and what’s better for the holiday season than effects?

Finally we got a bunch of ALM Busy Circuits’ four-operator FM module Akemie’s Castle.

Also, regarding future products: We’re super happy to announce that we’ll have the fantastic, beautiful, syncable digital delay module Chronoblob from the new manufacturer Alright Devices soon. And Sputnik’s Multi-Touch Keyboard Controller looks very promising as well. We’re looking forward to get them in soon!

Mark_Verbos_Tresor_BerlinIf you have seen this guy down in the Tresor last saturday in the morning at 5am playing live music on his modular (and some other tools), you are probably the ones asking yourselves:
Where can I buy such to make all my friends dance around on such weird noise and great music, too?

NOW you can get the case here and fill it up with whatever you like from Verbos electronics and others. Also some of the 1U modules by Vermona are available from stock now, so .. there is no excuse to start.

Getting started now!

NVpw5fZ6PvMa0kI6LJaV5jKfL6xeY_hjR8i702b942MOn Friday this week (June, 19th) we will have
a workshop for people interested in modular
synthesis – and especially beginners that are
on the verge of taking the plunge into
the “modular world”.

With the aid of the Doepfer eurorack starter system our product specialist Thomas K. will demonstrate basic patching ideas and going from there we will try to patch up the whole showroom into one jam session snazzystand.
The goal is not to present music theory but for you to experience the fun of successfully programming a modular synthesizer and to connect to other people.  The workshop will start at 6pm. Please send an email to tc@schneidersladen.de as the workshop is limited to 10 people, thank you.

Analogue Systems?

Written on . Posted in about NEW products .., eurorack modular .., media, information .., shipping times ...

Bob-WilliamsAccording to Mr. Bob Williams originally idea, his brand and product line – the integrator modular system a.k.a. analogue systems – will be sold in ready to go casings and wooden cabints again. They will come – just completely mounted up the way you want them – with a full five years warranty from now on.

After having had too much trouble from circuitries damaged with wrong or misused connector cabels, with (others) power supplies that did not serve enough ampere for some of the high class functionalities, or selfmade casings, where the modules has been returned once they did not fit, taking this excellent products out of the mixed systems is indeed a bad decision for the idea of the common eurorack, but a good one for the position of analogue systems.

aorsThe integrator system can be configurated on a comfortable modular planner and should be coming from the production to your retail store within a month now. For any kind of questions please get back to your modular stores over europe.

Picking Pot at Kottbusser tor

Written on . Posted in events and meetings .., media, information .., our showroom in Berlin ...

Probably being too nervous (?) already looking forward to the first crop for a while (?) finally the Berlin Police decided to collect the little hanf plants from the middle of the kottbusser Tor today. Even after the plants was still very small they probably could have had a nice evening with officially roundabout 700 of them. Read their own press release on this here:

20150511_112708_polizeiarbeitPolizeibeamte in Kreuberg betätigten sich heute zwischenzeitlich als Gärtner. Ein Mitarbeiter der BSR hatte gegen 10.15 Uhr die Polizei zum U-Bahnhof Kottbusser Tor gerufen, nachdem er bei Reinigungsarbeiten zahlreiche kleine Pflänzchen entdeckt hatte, die ihm verdächtig vorkamen. Die alarmierten Ermittler bestätigten seinen Verdacht – es handelte sich um rund 700 kleine Cannabis Pflänzchen, die auf den Grünflächen am Kottbusser Tor wuchsen. Die Beamten entfernten die Pflanzen und stellten sie sicher. Die Kriminalpolizei ermittelt nun wegen des unerlaubten Anbaus von Betäubungsmitteln.

.. was visiting SchneidersLaden once he was doing a liveset at Berghain a few weeks ago (was great, thank you) and he made a picture of our entrance with this little detail that I never noticed – so far, thank you for showing me, richard.  Apart from that, we had a short chat about Christian Günthers Delay and the new REON Drift box that he took home in the end.

Osaka and Berlin News ..

driftbox_6In time for the upcoming Musikmesse uncounted manufacturers are now releaseing their new products and innovations. Starting with the limited series of the REON driftbox from Osaka -here and there misunderstood as a simple dronebox – .. especially in the eurorack range there will be plenty of news very soon. The so far hottest thing from my point of view is the 4VOX by Flame from Berlin being presented mid April together with nearly 40 other brands and manufacturers on the booth of SchneidersBuero in Frankfurt, Germany.

END OF WAITING 2 !

kenele_siteYesterday I had a call from our scottish friend Ken Macbeth to let me know, that this year all has been starting pretty good .. and .. that the first few finished ELEMENTS will be coming in right before the NAMM, now. So keep calm with spending money for other stuff, this synth could become the golden solution finally .. a better easel for your sounds?

Probably it will still need another two months until the most of your oders could have been fulfilled, but there is a good reason for hope to get it.

end of Waiting!

DDR-Fotoausstellung so war´s...The end of Trust has been reached NOW: After two years of up and down, promises, payments forwards and backwards, units that has been returned for different reasons, many energy and money to learn complex possibilities to support, to fix and repair, ALEX4 now quit from europe exclusive distribution for Buchla alias Bemi.
Once you have a problem with a unit that was bought from the US, please return it to the US as usual, once you have a problem with a unit that you bought from us, we will go ahead and do our best to help you. And once you are still waiting for a Music Easel from Schneidersladen, you will be contacted and informed about the status shortly.

Merry Christmas ..

Written on . Posted in events and meetings .., our showroom in Berlin ...

Wishing you all a merry christmas and a good time we left SchneidersLaden behind us for a few days.

their existing catalogue of eurorack modules yesterday.

Aphex Twin hats auch ..

Written on . Posted in about Prices .., desktop Units .., our showroom in Berlin ...

aphex-modular-trax.. wir wollen es gerne verkaufen:
Das funktionierende Buchla 200e System aus der Demo in Schneidersladen steht zur Disposition, Module kommen eh nicht nach und der Easel stockt auch. Also: Ran an die Buletten, ausprobieren kostet noch nichts, danach wirds teuer,  Zum Preis erwarten wir akzeptable Vorschläge, Umsonst wirds leider nix!
Umsonst gabs offensichtlich mal die Tracks von Aphex Twin, die er wohl auch auf diesem Modulsystem gemacht hat, das war natürlich nicht umsonst! Aber wer weiss.
Fast umsonst gibts grad das ein oder andere Schnäppchen auf dieser Liste in Schneidersladen, weil wir zum Jahresende das sonst alles zählen müssen,  .. Zahlen statt Zählen? .. Danke für die Entlastung und Euch allen ein frohes und besinnliches Weihnachtsfest.

.. GETTING STARTED ..

Written on . Posted in about NEW products .., eurorack modular .., our showroom in Berlin ...

MKIV_2013_Schneider_4Starting your own modular system with little money, not buying too much, not missing the chance to have good fun and – most important thing – not buying stuff that becomes boring after a while (!) ..
is not that easy.

If you would like to participate, please give us an email now. Workshop starts around six pm in the showroom Schneidersladen and will last usually for two hours plus chat ..

WE ARE NOT ON FACEBOOK!

Written on . Posted in events and meetings .., media, information .., our webshop SL...

Even if it looks like it over here, nothing has changed with this: WE are not on facebook as Schneidersladen nor as anything else. If YOU made that page called Schneidersladen on Facebook, please get back to ME before somebody else will clear this up. The content does not make sense to our clients nor to us, it is mostly historical or leading to less competent points on the interne than the REAL Schneidersladen. Thank you for understanding.

Welcome Boller Baller ..

P1120397We refreshed our installation in the entrance of Schneidersladen, so once you come up from the Kaisers Drugstore door you will first of all see the selection of different KOMA(s) next to Miami.  Once you lost the control over Miami on the right KOMA you can add a bit of the rhythm ace or let a Tanzbär perform the spring to go further:

P1120400Next to the window – that you see first once you came up over the getto stairs equipped with an unbelievable smell of urin quite often – you see the very last black Memotron – the real and original one and only Mellotron-clone (!) – from the back, and .. once youre in, a selection of desktop synthesizers to be compared with each other.

So there is no excuse anymore to NOT come in or show up just
.. because you dont use a modular, YET (?)!

Dear Mister Snazzy,

w_dan_snazzythank you again for the wonderful session we had on this years NAMM (already), that I filmed. I am so sorry that I lost this file somewhere between my camera and my computer that I could not release it to let our friends and clients participate in the knowledge about your modules. I was so sorry, that it took even longer for me to clear everything up with our order, but – finally – now we have them all here, in our showroom at the kottbusser Tor, berlin just mounting them up to a system. So – you will definitely get some feedback from the europeans next week. .. and I am looking forward to a workshop with you over here, working on it.

Yours with warm regards, HerrSchneider
