Noise and the Beauty
Imitation is Flattery was the motto for this patch challenge. This time I wanted a track that slowly builds up to chaos, blends into a blissful order and then returns to a crescendo with an abrupt ending.

Inspired by the awesome performance last Saturday by my friend Scott of Abre Ojos, I tried my hand at composing an ambient drone track using just the AE Mini and his friends the Volca Sample and my brand new Volca FM!
This drone jam was inspired from taking my AE Modular into the bush. enjoy the beautiful scenery and the jam!
This is an experiment with square waves and logic gates. Two oscillators are pitched slightly apart and sending square waves to a logic gate which sends out 3 different output signals: NAND, AND and XOR. Those are then going to various filters and delays before being passed through the MultiFX module.
More information available in the video description.
The AE Mini Modular is the perfect companion for the Zoom MS70-CDR multi effect pedal. After the last dancey track, I felt like making a dreamy track with just the Mini.
This is a track that uses all the gear that I have installed in my “studio”. For the first time, the big AE Modular and the AE Mini Modular are playing together. I find that the AE Mini works great together with the Korg SQ1 and the Zoom MS70-CDR multi effects pedal.
I just got the Zoom MS-70CDR multi effects pedal and just trying a few patches. This patch uses the flanger going into a nice reverb. Together with the AE Mini Modular and my trusty Volca Sample it is quite a good combo.
Here I’m explaining how to use the dual envelope module 2ENV of the AE Modular system.
This challenge is about playing what you see with a very dramatic red sky photo posted by @spacedog on the forum. Details about this patch in the YouTube description.

I’ve discovered how to connect a super cheap USB audio splitter with my iPad and had to try it out on my AE Minisynth. The result made it only to Instagram, but it’s a nice little diddle.
