Schippmann is a boutique German maker of analog music electronics founded and run by Carsten Schippmann, an electrical engineer who graduated from TU-Berlin in 1994 and has built the company as a one-person operation out of Berlin. The brand specializes in high-end, fully analog signal processors and synthesizer modules, with a reputation for engineering-led designs aimed at studio producers and modular synth enthusiasts.
The brand's best-known product is the Ebbe und Flut (German for "ebb and flow"), a 2U desktop filterbank introduced in the mid-2000s that combines two voltage-controlled multimode filters with a compressor, spectral distortion, dual envelopes, LFO, sample & hold, RMS follower, noise gate and VCA — effectively a semi-modular synth voice without oscillators. The product line later expanded into the Eurorack format with the CS-8 series of modules, including standalone versions of the Ebbe und Flut filters (VCF-02), the DST2 spectral distortion, and the Cook compressor built around the THAT2180 VCA chip.
Schippmann's output is small and hand-built, and the brand has a cult following on community forums such as Mod Wiggler and Sequencer.de, where the Ebbe und Flut in particular is regularly discussed as a high-water mark for analog filter design.
Schippmann has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Modular Synthesizers and Effects Processors. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic and Rock. Notable users include Deadmau5, Richard Devine, and Celldweller.
