This is another Sunday jam. I started patching a stereo sequence and then kept adding to it, as you do. This was recorded live in one take, warts and all. All sounds from the AE system with exception of the drums which are from the Synthstrom Deluge which is also the master MIDI clock in this patch. Thumbnail as always by my son Robin.

AE Modular Jam – Mellow
After a few totally unproductive weeks I finally got my groove back. The LFO was clocked high, so this track could have gone in any direction, but it so happened to be a very relaxed, mellow track. Something to let play in the background while sipping a cocktail or having a nice Sunday morning coffee. The bassline was done by the Behringer Neutron, but sequenced from the AE Modular. All other sounds are from the AE Modular!
Getting Started – Connecting Korg Volca Modular to your AE with the VM-BRIDGE module
AE Modular Techno with Korg Volca Modular
In this jam I’ve hooked up the Korg Volca Modular together with my AE Modular via the new VMBRIDGE module from tangible waves. This patch has both systems completely interconnected, with the complex oscillator from the Volca going through the Wasp filter of the AE and the sound of the AE going through the reverb of the Volca and many more cross patches. It really open up innumerable possibilities with these two devices.
World Drone Day 2021
This Saturday the 29th May 2021 is World Drone Day and I will be streaming live from my little studio in Bega, Australia!
I AM NOW LIVE STREAMING!!
More information about World Drone Day here: https://droneday.org
Hopefully there will be other people from the AE Modular Forum that will participate, see the post below for more info:
Presenting SynthExplorer
Last weekend I was at a synth meetup in Wollongong at Elk Elektronik to present the new educational synthesizer system from tangible waves, the SynthExplorer. You can find out all about by watching the presentation below.
Dark Ambient Drone with Eurorack
Today I assembled the AE Modular Eurorack adapter frame together with the Behringer Neutron into a case that I built many years ago when I started my Journey with modular synths. I believe that AE can play along with Eurorack very well and that the Neutron can benefit from a few extra modulation options and the sweet FX that the AE can bring to the table.
AE Modular Jam – Phasing
I was experimenting with a few of my new modules, TRIP, PHASER, JOYSTICK and the MIXCONSOLE when this jam happened. I feel that it has a different sound from my previous jams, and that’s a good thing because I’m getting a bit over my old sound and want to do something new.
Getting Started – DRONE38 and DRONX
This is an overview of the two new drone modules for the AE Modular Synth from tangible waves. I’m presenting a short demonstration of the sound in the beginning and then will explain the functions of each module in detail. Towards the end there are some thoughts on how to approach making music with these modules.
AE Modular Synth Podcast #02
In this podcast episodes Zach, Felix and I are chatting about DIY in the AE Modular community and everyone’s favourite patching techniques.
