"For your consideration is a custom built CMS MC-24 modular discrete analog synthesizer, housed in a solid Honduran red mahogany cabinet.
Brief Description:
The MC-24 comes equipped with 8 ultra-linear discrete VCOs, 2 Phatron filters - 24Db lowpass/highpass, 2 discrete Super-Transistor filters -24Db lowpass, 4 discrete VCAs, a discrete 10 input stereo mixer, a voltage controlled 14 stage phaser, a 10 band fixed / comb filter, V.C. balanced modulator, V.C. harmonic multiplier, a fully decked out sample and hold section, a Gentle Elctric 101 Pitch to Voltage and Envelope follower, a voltage controlled clock, etc.
2 rows of twelve modules are mounted on custom, 36" extruded aluminum rails. These sturdy assemblies are then mounted in a furniture grade, hardwood finished, laminate slant cabinet. The MC-24 features a 3 amp, ultra fast, linear power supply. The MC-24 uses the military grade potentiometers, front panels, knobs and mil-spec components found on all CMS/DiscreteSynthesizers.com instruments.
This is the ultimate in studio synthesizers. This is the ultimate in sound."

Some sad news in today. Legendary synthesizer maker Wlodzimierz Cwejman, known as Wowa Cwejman to the synth community, has passed away. As anyone who has visited this site over the years knows, his creations are recognized as the best of the best when it comes to quality and sound. He will be sorely missed.
The following was shared by Maho Cwejman:
“I’m incredibly sad to say that Wlodzimierz Cwejman (Wowa ) passed away yesterday. Wowa was an incredible man making great things and I love that we made so many together. Right now I hope you appreciate I need some time but will come back as soon as possible with an update to Cwejman. I want to thank everyone for your support and kind words🙏

"In memory of Wowa Cwejman who passed away 30.01.2021 Thank you Wowa for you wonderful instruments wich always inspired me making music.
The video is from a workshop long time ago in Schneidersbuero .. i think around 2008. The music is made in 2007 after i bought my Cwejman S1. The sounds are done with a Doepfer A-154/155 Sequencer, Cwejman S1 and a Roland JV1080 for the pad.
"At the beginning of July 2018 SchneidersLaden had the opportunity to welcome Wowa Cwejman again. The occasion was the presentation of four new modules. Wowa Cwejman was so kind to give us an overview of these modules in the large showroom of SchneidersLaden, together with Tom Körting they went through all new aspects of the modules and patched some sound examples. With the displayed oscilloscope you get a good sense of what is happening with the signals. All in all a lot of new possibilities to explore!
Update: a tribute from C Nich0llsL.
"Single take recording from Cwejman S1. I was fortunate to pick up one of the last batch (in grey). Had been kicking myself for not getting one when they fist launched for several years. It is beautiful. The recording had been sitting on my desktop for a couple of months. After hearing of Wowa's passing, I am sharing as an homage to the beautiful tone of this instrument and to the man that created it. Recorded through Strymon;s Night Sky, the resonances seem to stretch out into the darkness. Left unadorned for those who may want to take a moment and gaze at the Night Sky. Thank you, for a beautiful instrument."
"It turns out I followed the sound and it was intense. Fair warning :-)
I just recently put back my Benjolin into my Euro skiff which feeds into the Easel Aux In. I had no idea what the sound would be as I slowly raised the LPG2 on the Easel. It was intense so I responded accordingly -- following a different sound. It can get loud and gritty. Modules involved in the Euro skiff are Buchla Red Panel 158 Dual Sine/Saw Osc, Instruo 1047 resonant filter, Makenoise Mimeophon, Epoch Benjolin, Intellijel Planar 2, MA 3 channel mixer and of course the Easel." https://www.patreon.com/synthtodd
"Comes with 12 RAM cartridges which are impossible to find and almost worth the price of the keyboard.
I will also include these hard to find manuals that were from Patrick Moraz's K250. I owned his for many years ago during the time I worked with him in the 90's.
