Hi,
The modules are only 20mm behind the front panel (+ contact pins). All electronics (as in S1) are surface mounted on the printed board and electro-mechanical parts such as potentiometers, switches and sockets are mounted directly to the printed board and without a single connecting wire.
Regards,
Michael |

Thanks!
That's good news. Makes one think about building a wooden desktop frame variant. |

Good points here. It is special to have Mike chime in here so I hope he doesn't stop
But the Cwejman site does need to be updated more frequent. Period. Even though I wanted an S1, like Tomcat the site was not very encouraging in terms of purchasing. I couldn't find the user base, people talking about it (bad or good). I'm not dropping small $, this thing cost 3k. I really just took a chance when I bought it going largely off the Sound On Sound review thinking it would fit nicely with my other gear. Only after I brought it home and spent some weeks with it did I realize how amazing the instrument is. Amazing enough that if you made me choose between my Moog Voyager or the Cwejman S1 Mk2....I'd ditch the Voyager!
The site would benefit from a complete rehaul. I really like the Moog site. Everythings right there. But it seems to me some of these small companies benefit from selling non instrument related equipment. Take for example, Elektron. They sell some posters of gear, t-shirts, gear bags, and now these cool little stickers. Moog has some clothing line that's cool, voyager bag, etc. These little things are not for everyone but for those who love their gear they will buy some of this stuff. Plus it's good for exposure! I bet if Cwejman offered a custom wooden desktop cabinet with S1 logo to mount their S1 people would buy it (might even sell more S1s). I would buy this cabinet! Not everyone wants to rack. Sell some S1/Cwejman shirts, whatever. Maybe a little Wowa doll (or Mike) so I can place him and Bob next to each other. LOL
I think you get my point. |

Hi All,
I am new here, but after reading this thread I wanted to say that my personal experience with Cwejman has been very, very good.
I ordered my S1 mk2 in october 2004 and received it within a week after payment.
(at another, unnamed, synthmaker with a very slick website, I have an order outstanding that has been fully paid, and I am waiting for more than a year now ... )
My questions to Cwejman have always been answered adequtely and swiftly.
And finallly the sound and build quality ...
Cwejman gear may not be the lowest-priced, but for what you get, it is not expensive at all.
best regards from Amsterdam,
Joost |

That's from the specs, I fear.
Always thought rates and frequencies were measured in Hz's or in BPM's or whatever is inversly related to time.
Anyway ranges from 1 ms .. 0.2 ms and 10 .. 20 ms seem erm, a mistake I hope.
Sorry for being old fashioned here and spoiling the fun by nitpicking. _________________ Jan
also .. could someone please turn down the thermostat a bit.

yeah, I was wondering, too...
let's hope it's 0,001 Hz...
also I don`t quite understand the concept of "total frequency range" as opposed to the rates of lfos 1 and 2...
anyway, this seems like a rather complex and unique double-lfo-module. yummy! |

The rates don't take into account the CV. He seems to be using cycle period rather than frequency so 20ms = 50Hz |

LFO RATE RANGE |

Hi everybody,
the total range for LFO's rate is controlled by RATE knobs and CV signals
Thanks & Happy New Year 2006!
