Congrats Michael!
The modules look very impressive, wow...

Btw, I saw the multi mode filter module mentioned two times in the PDF.

Can you give us some hints about the size format of the modules ?

Hi Michael

Thanks for your reply, then would you consider producing the same modules in a different size, say compatible with other big modular manufacturers ?

mik39 · Joined: Sep 11, 2005 Posts: 9 Location: Sweden

Everything is possible although we haven´t that planned at the present moment. Our modules have standard power supply and connections so it will be possible to mount them freely in any configuration. In the current phase we are concentrating on producing modules with regard to the technical specifications and of course with the special CWEJMAN "touch" and unique sound possibilities.
Regards,
Michael

Hello Michael!

Great! Thanks a lot for taking my money Wink

Im looking forward to these modules. Great that its some sort of expansion for the S1 and that they share the same look.

What i need is more envelopes for the S1. Hope you bring also an envelope module.

How fast i have to work for getting the necessary money? When will be the release time. The EG and Multimode Filter are a must have.

Best regards

hey Michael, thanks for doing a vc parametric eq- bloody bout time too!!! Very Happy

I bet it comes with a spectacular price tag too? Sad

Fancy releasing the boards as a DIY project? In the spirit of 'Music for Outer Space'???? Shocked

The modules are definitely interesting. I for sure will be picking some if not all of them to interface with my S1 when Analoguehaven gets them in Smile

There modules look very exciting. The documentation is very clear and understandable. Excellent graphs. These look like beautiful designs.

Michael,

Is it possible to request a dedicated LFO Cwejman module Very Happy

?

I'm thinking 1 panel of 3 lfo's. Different waveforms of perhaps a combination of S1/S2 types, sine for sure though. Or perhaps some of the waveforms shapes from the oscillators (pulse + saw, pulse + triangle) etc? Each lfo would have three pot selectors; Rate, Waveform selector, and or Pulse Width selector for those lfo's with variable pulse widths. Each of course would be patchable, Rate, Level, Output, Gate?

Seems one can never get enough LFO's and it would be cool to have a Cwejman module. It would fit in nicely with the other modules already announced. Don't even get me started modulating the VCEQ-3 with some Cwejman LFO module! I'll have those 3 lfo's doing some wacky stuff with different settings for each band Razz

same here!
And I would really like to see slooooow rates on LFOs. 10, 20 minutes and slower! The fast end should be really fast, too, of course (sorry for being insatiable... Smile

)
Sweepable waveforms of some sort would be great as well.

Anyway, the Modules so far look very, very desirable already. Congrats! Keep up the good work!
A future customer (hopefully soon)...

Would be nice if the cwejman's keep more contact to their (potential) customers. From the forum on their website and the responses here its catastrophic lame. Please take as example Herman von Sherman or Jürgen from Jomox, they care a lot more for their customers. I understand that the cwejman's maybe busy creating new products but guys ... have you ever heard about "customer relationship".... Sad

Im not asking for answering every day but as a minimum one time a week would be a good start.

You disagree?

You like to orientate on worse companies? Come on, if you spend more than 2.5k like me and others you also like to wait weeks for feedback? This is no big production cheap china synth, this is a small production hi end synth. And there should be also a fitting service. Especially when its easy to handle, with the amount of requests its a 1 hour/week job....

The customer relationship bit is the hardest to handle well for small companies and most small companies get that one completely wrong and this means they will eventually fail. Being unable to handle the "customer relationship" and market communication well doesn´t mean the company is an evil demon that deserves to rot in hell. Failing this doesn´t mean they have chosen to disregard their paying customers. It simply means that it is damned hard to get this right.

This is a user's forum, not an offical Cwejan Sound customer service channel. This is where users, potential users, and interested parties can get together to discuss their instruments, ask questions, help each other - without any editing or control from the company.

I'm very impressed that anyone from Cwejman ever posts here. Look at the Nord Modular forum. You can't find a single post from Clavia there.

Oh, yes, I suspect they are reading the forums on electro-music.com, but they are careful not to respond to questions - else some people might develop an expectation of responsiveness.
Small companies have very limited resources. Especially valuable to them is their time. An active users' forum, like those on electro-music.com, can provide a very valuable service to customers and perspective customers. It's a way that users can support the small companies that make the instruments we love while enhancing our enjoyment of the music and the gear.

That mik39 chimes in here from time to time is fabulous. Lets be careful not to discourage him by turning on the punch clock.

Aha. Then take a look on the cwejman forum on their website and the unanswered posts. You think this is a good reference? This almost was the reason for me not to buy the S1, but as you know i bought one....

I never take the worst as reference, i take the best. Sherman & Jomox are also not the big players.
On the other side if you look at the hartmann forum (the hardware part, im not talking so much about the vs related problems) you can see how not to do it. And how to piss of your customers....

Take a look at sherman.be and how they care or the jomox forum on yahoo. The later one is not from jomox and some people are not very friendly to jürgen there, still he tries his best.
