Does anybody know what the two "insert points" on the new DRONX mixer can handle ? As i see it they are like two efx send / returns without level control. But could they be used with external efx, or are they strictly AE levels ?

Might be for external effect? I don't know. I've ordered the drones moduels and the mixer, so I'll be able to check that out when I recieve my order. Maybe somebody get the modules before anyone and can tell us? I'm also curious

I think it's only AEM levels. As writed in the detail module : two insert points allow to add up to two more audio effects to the internal signal chain |

Yes i guess you are right.
I also ordred DRONE38 + DRONX + MIXCONSOLE.
I guess that with 2ATT/CV and 2 Signal amp modules you can attenuate signals, send them to external efx, and then boost again on return.

Mikael As always with modular, you can do what you want ;-) The DRONX contains a certain fixed FX chain (tone control -> distortion -> delay), but I thought it might be useful to insert other audio processing too (like wavefolder, filter...), primary thinking about other AE modules. But keeping an eye on the signal levels, the FX can be external ones too, of course! |

You can use the 4I/O interface for direct out/return to/from external FX (or using the Master in/out).

Noob question here, but how should I connect let say the WAVESHAPER in the DRONX? What goes in the SEND and what goes in the RETURN? And does it mean I can still modulate de WAVESHAPER with an LFO or ENV?
(Also, I just noticed that on the picture of the DRONX, there are 2 RTN2 instead of RTN1 and RTN2)

Send -> IN Wavefolder Wavefolder OUT -> Return
You need to send Triangle waves for interesting result.
And you can modulate the CV Inputs of the Wavefolder with LFOs or other toys.

Hello i'm interested in the Dronx to get a flexible source mixer and some effects that can be useful in the routing of a patch, or at the end of a chain. Did somebody try it or made a demo (I can't find it) ... I'd like to know the characteristics of the Dual Delay algorythms, and also the LFO use on it . I can't imagine hom many possibilities open the bass and treble l tonal control before rerouting to filters or fx loop. Thanks by advance, cheers all ( I'm waiting for my first single rack and trying to project the second row  |

If I'm not mistaken Felix and Carsten are the first to get the DRONE387 and DRONX modules, and I guess lot of people on here have ordered them aswell, so you might expect videos coming soon about the modules, explanations or jams. In a near futur people will start to get used to those modules and they'll gain more knowledge to share about them 
I myself have ordered the modules and I think my order has been sent, i'll spend quiet a time with the modules because they are very interesting to me

More drones and audio-rate phasing (starts at around 3:00): |

Thanks all ! Sounding like the kind of movies I'm keen on watching !! Lot of mixing possibilities from the dronx ... I was asking me if the delays algorithms are just delay only , or if they cover reverb in a way , like on my good old Roland RV delay reverb stomp pedal

Thanks mister Night ! I'm thinking about the NS 1 nanobridge as told by Lugia ... can open the box to an external mixer and fx In/Out aVCF I've got...
And put sound generation and cv manipulation in the Ae ... But would be less practical to operate (more external spaghettis)

I've been following the AE Modular series for a while, and am considering getting a drone-based system with these new modules. Does anyone have advice on what some potential system layouts might look like, that is what combination of modules? I've watched the videos above. I'd appreciate any thoughts on combinations of modules that would work well together, including the drone ones highlighted above. Thanks.

Well, everything can work with everything. It really depend what you want to do with your rack.
As it is said many times on the forum, the starter Rack is a must have for your first try wiuth the AEM. You can Also send a mail to Tangible Waves to change some of the module in your rack to include the DRONE36 and the DRONX.
My order is on the way wityh these moduels so I cannot give you great advice here, but if you want to do drone, the WAVEFO9LDER can be a great addition as you can add effect with send and return on the DRONX. The MULTIFX canb be a great addition or maybe just the SRPING REVERB. Couple that with some LFO, ENVELOPE, and VCA and you should have a lot to do
You'll see that the possibilites are infinite. If you are interesed in drone, I recommande you check out pt3r videos on here and youtube, you'll see that you can do great droen with the AEM.
And welcome aboard!

You can IMHO do some serious drones with the starter rack2 + multifx it all comes down on your patching. A DRONX based system will be indeed instant gratification drone wise but it will eventually only be fully drone oriented and nothing else, whereas a start2 rack + fx will get your drones and more. Welcome aboard.
Here are some starter rack drones:
And something else:

Thanks very much, moruial and pt3r. I've found pt3r's YouTube channel and am now checking it out. I should have mentioned I already have some Eurorack gear, so I was looking to the Drone38 and DroneX for their unique capacities, and to try out the AE Modular line, after following it for a long time. Thanks again. |

Thanks again. If you do know your way around modular synth then you'll know the trick AEm is not that diffrent from Eurorack, and you have every bread and butter tools you need to make everything you wish to do. Anyhow, the DRONE38 and DRONX will do their job as drone box.

Thanks again. Wow, cool to see ppl from Eurorack thinking about AE because it's unique sound modules, that's a great sign 😄😄 If i may do a little shameless plug: I find my Dead Band module to be a good and unique addition for droning. You can set it up so it filters out the 'round' or 'tonal' sound while it leaves intact the dirt and crunch. Here is a demo where i use it on the lush Solina strings: It's currently only available as a kit (it's an easy to solder kit), but I'm working on a full release. www.tindie.com/stores/keurslagerkurt |

I concur; the dAEdband module is very capable of delivering that little unpredicable extra weirdness to your soundsc(r)AEpes.
Edit: I think I had one of the first modules out in the wild and it has bascialy been part of almost every patch I built recently.

Thanks, folks. I'll check that one out for sure. I didn't realize until I read this that there were third-party modules in the AE Modular format. How cool!
