Also in hall 5.1: Carsten Schippmann with his new filter "ebbe und flut" (low and high tide). What can one say: watching and hearing this incredible unit is a pleasure of its own, as it is able to transform an easy drum beat and a sawtooth waveform into complete tracks. We would like thank Penko from Schneiders Büro for providing the photo.

And this is Frank Weber, sort of elysia's handy universal genius for special tasks. Frank was of invaluable support with the construction and technical realization of the complex housing for the alpha compressor. He knows every detail inside out, and - as a 'little side project' - he has also designed our furniture for the trade shows...

Well, this is our trade show bonsai. Green as it is, it brings the necessary natural touch into our strictly technical world. Fortunately we didn't stick any logo to it - otherwise it would certainly have been misinterpreted as an unhandy, but maybe eatable giveaway. But no, we were able to take it home safely: See you again next year.

At the end of a successful presentation the well-earned closing time beer tastes twice as good as usual! Ok, those plastic tumblers are certainly not high end and therefore a little bit out of place here... By the way, that thing in the background is not the next version of the Apollo carrier rocket, but the Frankfurt trade show tower. Aha.
