Hello all, following the suggestions from this thread I have created the very essence of a hint of a skeleton of what the semi-official AE Modular Wiki. It is now open to the public here: wiki.aemodular.comI have also placed a link in the top navigation of the forum. The wiki is largely empty except where I have started to prepare pages especially around the documentation of the modules. Although quite un-wiki like, I have opted to lock down the editing to only known users. This is so that there is a bit of structure and some communication between a smaller group of editors. I gladly setup anyone as an editor, a few of you have already PM'd me and I will send you login details in due course, otherwise if you see a page that you would love to take care of, please PM me here in the forum. As a wiki editor you will also have access to a special and hidden sub-board here on the forum where we will discuss "editor stuff". There is also a Trello board which I made purely to keep track of the documentation effort. This can be expanded to include other areas of the wiki. This has been a bit of work to get here, and I still have to write or record an editing guide ... so please have patience ... I will organise access as soon as I can. In any case, please respond with thoughts, ideas and feedback in this thread or open a new thread in this new sub-board. Let the wikiing begin! |

A patch section would be cool, especially if it followed some design guidelines. If Grid were modified to allow for patch connections that could be utilized as a great visual aid for the patch section, and keep things uniform.
it wouldn't even need to be super high tech, like you could lay out the modules and with HTML5 canvas you could save the layout as a static image then draw over it with some pre-built html5 drawing application -- or even just screenshot and draw over it with gimp or something. No further coding necessary  |

No further coding necessary You can do this already. Just build your setup in the grid then take a screenshot and draw over it with a graphics program of choice. However I personally think that this will result in a very hard to read and understand mess of crossing lines. Here is a close up photo of one of my patches ... I won't even try to recreate it from this photo ... it's just too tedious   However we did discuss different ways of noting patches here: forum.aemodular.com/thread/62/ae-modular-templateI have tried to note my patches using a spreadsheet where I record all connections from left to right, starting with the module in the left top corner of my system and noting ONLY the outgoing connections then continue noting this for the module to the right and so on until I have a list of all modules and where they connect to. This works OK, but is still tedious. Here is one of my simpler patches in spreadsheet format: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lJnB2GC75JwIMwYafFQyS-K1fMQ4MqatQH4RiYCrx3o/And this is a bigger patch which also includes knob values: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gv6PWSrtzfPppl1M-kvZsSURR59cDEB34GRVnvHGoVg/ |

Wrote entries for the SPRINGREVERB, 4ATTMIX and VCO and "approved" some articles which were "under review" in the Trello board.

Hi, as a new user I saw that some pages are empty and others require a password. I also saw a couple of spelling mistakes (very minimal). I would have liked to correct that and have acces to pages, to learn and help.
How can that be done? I feel like this is a super good start, but also as an entry point to AE Modular it's a bit lacking on some aspects (I'm trying to be constructive here, don't take this the wrong way!). I'm mostly wondering about this since the last post on this thread was made two years ago. Is this project defunct?
In short, I'd like to contribute to this community. What can I do?

Hello alvalol, I'm delighted about your offer to contribute to the wiki! While the editing pages are locked, I do provide editor accounts to anyone who asks and offers to help. So far there have been about a dozen such accounts, and there have been fantastic contributions over the last 2 years, however people move on to other things where their energy is required, so there are times when the wiki languishes until a new surge of energy revives the documentation efforts. While I remain control over the access to the wiki, I'm really open to input and feedback from the community and hope that the wiki's structure will morph into whatever people want it to be. I'll send you login details soon and that will also unlock a hidden sub forum here where all editors of the wiki can communicate about changes and possible directions where we want to take the wiki. Cheers, Carsten. |
