Long time no seen, but ..
now the VCA-2P by Cwejman came in and is available from stock (probably for a short while). If you need more Panorama settings at once, there are also some very few of the MX-4S and apart from that some others too. Just have a look or ask your competent retailer.
.. is not on facebook and a bit weird at the time … Sonic State made this interview once they was visiting berlin and I was surprised myself, what I am telling there. Its a lot about our friends making stuff and some things about personal history and .. some good sounds on the modular in the end. Thank you Edd.
Starting 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.
To give you some more ideas and help on this, Thomas K., our current mastermind for modular questions and answers invites you for another workshop next Friday, December, 5th in the evening. 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 ..
.. a first shipment of verbos modulars has been coming in and .. going out already, but .. more of them will come in soon!
Matthew Allum alias ALM – well known for Pamelas Workout – was visiting Schneidersladen together with his whole Family this week. The two younger ladies was not really keen to play on modulars but not even his wife was called Pamela, so Matthew: whats your masterclock?
there are some new Frequency Central Modules in stock now such as the ..
– Waverider digital VCO, the .. Raging Bull, the .. – Vogue .. and of course the adsr / vca and more .. available online now!
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.
We 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:
Next 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 (?)!
Tiptop Audio will release their new proper 8track step sequencer – the circadian rhytm – very soon. After we already had one of the first units presented in the Tiptopaudio workshop (just two weeks ago) we now start collecting preorders. The design of the frontplate is completely new towards a redesign of the whole tiptop audio range to follow up.
After he already introduced it on Musikmesse 2014 (some pics by Hajo Liese here) Peter Kirn now showed off the final version of the MEEBLIP anode desktop synthesizer with an anlogue Filter for very small money on a trip to New York. See some pics of the perfomance here and watch out for the anode synth over here.
On September, 18th – still a while – there will be a workshop for runaways about the modular world of tiptop audio by Kostya Gervis held in berlin kreuzberg for tiptop audio. Expecting a lot of interested modular freaks we will make it an educational evening event starting at 7 pm already at Centralmusic on Oranienstrasse for up to 20 guests (Admission is free once you registered your participation here). For Q & A with Kostya directly he will be in addtion available at Schneidersladen Friday afternoon Sept, 19th, where finally all complains can be cleared and products could be ordered.
After a very ong time the Innerclock Systems SyncGen2 PRO (Cynk Lock) is back in Stock now -so your Hard & Software can be back on the 1 again…….
Especially for new customers we will have a workshop again just on and about a eurorack starter system for lower 1500 EUR. On July, 18th (2014)- next Friday – our product specialist Thomas K. will share his knowledge about such with you (once you confirmed your participation).

The Seven Woods Audio Space Station SST-206:
Very rare and just sweet – this is one of the best reverbs on the market and a few are back in stock at Schneidersladen now.
We still have – surprisingly – some of the wonderful sounding Oberheim SEM patchpanel units available from Stock – if you re interested …..
Dear Mister Snazzy,
thank 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
Our Friend Danjel alias Intellijel informed us, that finally this week the next big batch of Metropolis Sequencers will be ready to ship. So our part of at least 55 units – mostly already promised to our dear clients – should be coming in earliest end of next week, but hopefully very soon to be forwarded directly.
.. unfortunately there are still nearly 50 of our clients waiting to get their hands on one of the Bemi* Music Easel .. We never thought that it could take so long to get them in and we are very sorry about this. Still we dont know if there will be more than the first seven “serial units” that we had coming in so far.
In addition to this we are even more sorry, that we mixed up the order date with the update of our factura system what lead us to serve very few clients in the wrong order. As soon as we have more units coming in, we will first of all serve these clients we have overlooked.
* = BEMI is the company that took over the business from Don Buchla
(the guy you see on pic) alias Buchla and Associates a while ago.
The ADSR by Tiptop is in Berlin, now ..
Since long time Motm 340 Cloudgenerators and a couple other exquisit tools(o’toys) are back in stock.
… could have been a good idea if they were available.
Luckily there are alternatives in between, please ask.
Finally now Evi uploaded the video she made on the Mark Verbos performance and workshop together with Christian Zollner in Centralmusic shortly after Musikmesse. The Modules by Verbos Electronics are still in production but they should be coming over to europe soon to be available at competent retail stores mostly, give it another month or two, please..
Thomas K. – product specialist for modulars at SchneidersLaden – will start with the first issue of a series for (absolute) modular beginners workshops this Friday, the 13th of june.
In order to prevent the usual yet confusing patch noodling orgies we put a small yet flexible system in the center. With that as a basis we will approach the very basics of patching techniques, integration with external devices and (later on) unconventional ways of getting a sound out of this box.
Workshop is limited to 10 participants and will start at 6pm (until 8pm).
First come, first serve – please make your reservation directly to tc@schneidersladen.de now.
In Germany at least there is a bank holiday for religious reasons this monday – so please do not be set up if we do not pick up the phone nore answering your emails. There is best weather over germany, the sun is shining so we are sitting in the green taking another bath mostly getting back to you on Tuesday with whatever you want. All the best to our synthie friends worldwide from sunny berlin ..
After not having heard a lot, Tom Oberheim now came back to us with a bunch of soon to ship SEM units that has been ordered for a while already. By accident some of us misunderstood it as shipped already and perhaps informed you a bit too early – if you are on the waiting list, the units will ship around the end of this month – meaning next two weeks!
Apart from that, this is a good sign for those who still wait in patience for the twovoice he is working on. It could be coming, but .. please dont ask again, we will let you know about it asap – here – thanks.
As a few other americans also, studio electronics aka makers of big and good analogue synths could not trust the germans as their general european distribution so they now signed a new partner called msl pro from the uk for such. Cause the prices of their products will probably increase a bit, I thought to let you know that we still have boomstars in most versions at Schneidersladen. Good synths!
The very first units of the long time expected
MFB Dominion1 keyboard synthesizer from Berlin could be shipped in July hopefully. There are plenty of videos on the web already showing the outstanding possibilities of this unit, but from what I saw at the manufacturers facility now, it will be even better…
tiptop audio shipped even more drum modules today: Now we expect BD909, HATS909, RS808 and SD808 modules together with the new MIXZ to come in from ship to shop these days. ballaballa bumbum!
Your Make Noise Phonogene can be updated to V.372 at SchneidersLaden again now: Finally today we received the update for the update machine that once worked very well and Franz is your best friend, if you have a unit earlier than this version. The Update (item # MNPHup) is not online as an article in our webshop because we need your phonogene module be sent in to make it.
You will be asked for 25Eur just for the update plus shipment costs back to whereever you are. Please do not forget to ad your name and adress to whatever you send including you wish for this piece of software!! The whole procedure usually takes two weeks.
The outstanding tube-based Metasonix D-1000 Drummachine is out of production now!

Modcan shipped their Quad Envelope serving ADHSR (!) in lin, exp or log and .. cv-controllable. Not bad and a good competition to Wowa Cwejmans ADSR-VC2, that is surprisingly also available from stock at the time.
From our friends in Asheville there is a shipment on the way including Maths, Rene, PressurePoints, Echophon, Optomix and Knobs. So if you are waiting for such please be aware to pick it up next week.
The Furthrrr Generator by endorphin.es is available from stock at Hieber Lindberg and Schneidersladen at least! It is a very well done complex analogue oscillator inspired by the buchla 259 made in the still western part of the ukraine.
For existing or future clients and users of the Z-DSP by tiptop audio the Valhalla DSP will be offering new features coming in soon! Stackcabels and many other products are also on their way to us as I heard ..
The new dual VCA R57 came in, the R56 tube spring reverb is still available with a very few units, the D-1000 and an S-2000 and some other modules are back in stock now, please see the whole list here.
We have a minimal amount of cwejman modules in stock and available from the latest shipping that came in this week. After a few of the early clients had to jump off ..
The AP-1 Processor, the SPH2 phaser and the brand new QMMF-4 – the bigger brother of the outstanding Quad Resonator RES-4 – are ready for you as a eastern surprise in limited numbers… now.
Have a nice easter holiday
Our friend Roland made this wonderful video showing Ken Macbeth introducing his Elements on Musikmesse 2014. If you like the synth you can already now place a preorder in a musical instruments store of your choice (?). The first batch of units should be coming in May, but you never know, it will be real scottish ones.
The very little Anode Meeblip Synthesizer module that has been introduced in Frankfurt will need a bit more time. A very first shipment is coming soon, please calculate the first units ex berlin for week #21/ around May, 23rd.
I just had a chat with Tom Oberheim who confirmed that the TwoVoice is in production now: First Units will be shipped in May if everything goes well. The remaining SEM units some of you are waiting for will also be coming in first half of May, so please keep being patient we will get back to you as soon as we have the confirmation they are shipped .. as always there is hope.
This picture has NOT been made by Jörg Stachoviak in Toms Garage in march 2014 as we had to find out now (11/2015): Sorry, it was shot by Tony Karavidas – a member of the Team around Dave Smith btw – who gave us the friendly permission to let it online, here – thank you!
Tom told us, he was working on the units in the garden that time, congratulation!
The SPH-2 by Cwejman is restocking now in limited numbers. So if you have ordered one of them be aware to be asked very soon to take them (or not). The waiting list is long.
His new QMMF-4 is in production now and will follow soon.
Verbos Electronics modules can now be pre-ordered, the first batch will probably arrive europe within the next two months.
the Macbeth Elements is now online on SchneidersLaden and can be preordered here. We still dont know when exactly the first units will be coming in but as you know we always deal fair with such and hold all promises on european warranty issues and keep you informed over here. The price had to be lifted up to 5590 EUR now, if possible we can still sell it for cheaper once we have them.
Tonite in Kreuzbergs Oranienstrasse (#188!) we will have a workshop with Mark Verbos from New York introducing his eurorack products at around 8pm, this will be held in english. Then there will be a session with either Peter Kirn presenting his Meeblip synth and/or the Koma boys performing their pedals and Kommanders. Still before 10pm we will have a second rare introduction where Christian Halten will introduce his W-Lan interface for the Buchla Music Easel together with the chief technician from Buchla responsible for their production site. As on Musikmesse Mister MFB junior (the Tanzbär !) will take care for some drinks and good fun as we will do ourselves.
On Thursday, 20st we will celebrate our visitors from the US that gladly joined an extra visit to Berlin after Musikmesse now. Also towards the re-opening of Kreuzbergs “Centralmusic” we will start two or three extra rare manufacturers workshops there around 8pm to show some of the news from the tradeshow. With this we will have some drinks and make some music. Looking forward seeing you there.
Doors 7pm, no admission, Centralmusic, Oranienstrasse 188, Xberg
Time has come and finally: the first very few of the music easels did arrive Berlin this week. There are still a lot of clients waiting but at least these few has been informed that they are welcome to pick their units up in Berlin or to get it however. Production will go on and we will also be served with 200e modules faster and better from now on, as our partners alias Bemi confirmed on musikmesse.
The Workshop with Charles Cohen as a CTM Event last week has been a very nice time, thank you for coming. Some of you could listen to the audio what could have been a bit confusing at least while the jam session with visitors was running. We made a little movie that will be released on Vimeo soon, we work on it and thank you for your patience.
For those who did NOT get a ticked we run the radio frequency 95,2 Mhz at Kottbusser Tor now, so cruise your car around the cycle, dont count the rounds and listen to Charles Cohen and Wolfgang Seidel playing LIVE in Schneidersladen. Non freezing pedestriants could do the same with a radio in front our backdoor entry watching the event thru the glass from outdoors.
The CTM workshop with Charles Cohen now (Thusday, 30st, 8pm) will be streaming live on this internet portal here. (if you have to type it to your browser, use.. http://stream.p-node.org/mobile3.mp3 ) starting at 8 o’clock.
A visual documentation will be released later on.
On this video Jeff is introducing us to the little threeboat by buchla that should be released “mid this year/soon”. It contains a Midi/usb to CV interface that also converts from minijack to banana in a new halfsize format that just exists in these little boats so far. Two more (classical) 200e modules can be added and used as a stand alone starter system then.
