Nice  Quite funny considering that it is the Volca modular which got me into Æ in the first place due to the patch cable format. I never ended up getting one, but it's still a really interesting piece of gear.

Nice video my VMBRIDGE is on order, looking forward to getting that nice complex osc sound into the AE for processing. I think there are a lot of really interesting possibilities opened up by this module! I kind of wonder if the audio pin points could also be used to send CV back and forth (and vice versa) - like the minijacks on the Master module can go either way (i think) - but i definitely wouldn't want to be the first to try it without understanding more about the protection offered by the module! |

Now that is interesting... I actually used my VM live for the first time the other day, it has a really strong sound when you put it through a PA! Very versatile little thing, looking forward to getting a VMBRIDGE for maximum involvement. |

Another question: It's my understanding (which is probably wrong/naive) that in other modular systems, eg Eurorack, the patch cables carry both a signal and a ground, so that you can patch together modules that have a separate power source.
In AE world, the patch cables only carry the signal, but the modules have a common ground via the bus.
Now, in the context of cross-patching between AEM and Volca Modular, the VMBRIDGE only scales the signals to have the voltages match with the respective systems, right? But nothing is done to make sure that a ground is shared. Wouldn't that be important? What are possible consequences? Could there be a bias/offset introduced via the cross-patching?

My understanding is that the 2 core 3.5mm lead does carry the ground and signal, and then the socket in the VM bridge module deals with this issue somehow (I can't tell you, I use electronics, not make them!). This is similar to the 4/O module and the I/Os on the Master and power modules. I regularly find, not just in AE world, when you put a patch wire into a socket something happens, even if the other end isn't plugged into anything. I just adjust the relevant controls as needed to get the sound I'm after. |

Yes, that makes sense. So the module is meant to be used in way that always involves at least one of these two (3.5mm) patch cables for CV or Sync?

I watched the video tutorial and my question is effectively answered there (at around 8:05): A common ground needs to be established which is done with a 3.5mm cable.
