Cwejman S2, integrated analogue synthesizer
Short description of the S2
The S2 is an integrated synthesizer; all modules (sound sources, modifiers, modulators and controls) are linked together in the way to offer the greatest possible flexibility with creation and reproduction of sounds. The S2 is an analogue monophonic synthesizer. It can by used as a sound generator, an shaper/modifier for external sound sources and as a mix of them.
The user interface is easy-to-use; all functions and controls are clearly labelled and accessible on the frontand the rear panel and LEDs indicates the status off coupled functions and modulation sources activated by pushbuttons.
Several parameters can be voltage controlled by external signals and, simultaneously the S2 can control other voltage controlled instruments. The possibility with patching and integrating it into an external modular (or semi-modular) synthesizer/sequencer and a sound system makes it extremely flexible.

The potential of the instrument as a sound generator and sound shaper/modifier is comprehensive:
* Two high stable oscillators with seven basic waveforms
* Ring modulator
* Noise generator with two different noise shapes
* High performance instrument amplifier with build-in opto compressor and envelope follower
* Multi mode filter with selectable slope (2, 4 and 6 poles) and no less than five modes
* Two wide range envelope generators
* Output amplifier with build-in overdrive stage
* Three audio outputs
* Two sync-able LFO's with seven basic waveforms and wide rate range
* Extensive modulation routing
* Build-in MIDI to CV/Gate converter with 16-bit resolution
* MIDI CV outputs for controlling of external voltage controlled instruments
* Analogue CV inputs for controlling and modulation of the S2
* Tabletop or rack mounted
* High build quality
Since the filters are among the most dominant sound processors in an analogue synthesizer great effort have been taken in filter design. The Multi Mode Filter is the most flexible filter found in any other monophonic synthesizer. It is very useful as a tool to create various high quality sounds and recreate "sounds" from many classic synthesizer. Additionally, the unique solution with variable SPACING (bandwidth) and two variable resonance peaks make it possible to create various vocal like sounds.
The circuit solution of the filter is an analogue "state of the art" and results in remarkable qualities such as:
* Wide frequency range from 5 Hz to 25 kHz
* CUTOFF, Q-PEAK and SPACING are voltage controlled
* Selectable slope; 2-, 4- and 6 poles
* Low-, high-, band pass- and dual band pass (2 modes)
* Ideal as "effect filter" with external sound material
* Clean, yet "warm" and "smooth" sound
* Low noise
