When the Calculator Breaks by Vedic Space Program on the Cwejman S1

"This track was recorded and mixed live with no overdubs using a Beatstep Pro as the sequencer, a fairly rare Cwejman S1 MK1 (serial number S1-020) and various eurorack modules.

The MK 1 version of the S1 has the same layout and architecture as the MKII, with the exception of:
two less oscillator waveforms in the oscillator section: no saw+triangle or saw+pulse
two less LFO waveforms: no Random Slew 1 or Random Slew 2.

The S1 MK1 has MIDI and CV. The MIDI seems to be configure the same as on the MKII.

There's very little information on the internet about the much rarer MK1 version, some of which suggests that there's no MIDI.

The beats are inspired by John Bonham's epic groove from When the Levee Breaks"
