I uploaded this a couple of weeks back and, whilst it's not 'pure AEModular', it does feature pretty heavily  * Tangible Waves' AEModular * Roland TR-808 * Sennheiser e912 Enjoy! (?) |

Enjoy! (?)
Yes, I enjoyed this track !  I liked the slow progress of the drums, and the mood.

Nice mood.
I was wondering what is this black module on your AEM?

Maybe the 3x3 matrix mixer by Wonkystuff, but not sure.

When I looked at the pictures on FB, I noticed that the WASPFILTER next to it says "Vactrol Type", which mine doesn't. I must have missed that change. The Wiki shows the "old" version as well.
As for the Wonkystuff mixer, I must have missed the memo on that as well. Even if there was an alert here that something was being announced via FB, that would be helpful. I can only imagine that FB must be heaving with activity, and I've missed that as well

Nice mood. I was wondering what is this black module on your AEM? I think Jihel has it  It's actually the 'version zero' of the mm33 ( the one where I found I had misplaced the mounting holes so had to get another batch of PCBs made I like the new panel better though  |

Yeah, I'm not good on publicity, and I'm just waiting for the last parts (the PCB mounting 'legs') before I can start shipping. The first run is only small (15) but I am planning a second run… The mixer will be available as a kit or as prebuilt, because I know how people like to make stuff (and save a few quid) I will make a proper announcement here at some point soon…! |

Can you explain what it is exactly? because it looks a bit more that just a "simple" mixer |

Can you explain what it is exactly? because it looks a bit more that just a "simple" mixer Sure! It's a matrix mixer with 3 ins and 3 outs. Basically you can route any input to any output, changing the mix of the inputs. It can be used for control signals (LFO, env etc.) as well as audio signals - or both! So you can superimpose an audio signal onto an LFO should you so desire. It has been used in 'avant garde' music for some time (David Tudor is a name that often comes up). Each input channel has two inputs (intended to be used independently, but I suppose there's no reason not to use both at the same time!) one is DC-coupled (for control signals) and the other is AC coupled (for audio). There pretty much isn't any 'wrong way' to use it Quite often, matrix mixers are used for 'no-input' setups, where effects pedals (usually delay or reverb) have their inputs and outputs connected to the mixer and complex feedback paths are possible. There's a wikipedia page here My latest #52weeksofsound track uses it too mm33 (3)For the parts where I'm using the matrix mixer for audio processing, I had the lofi-delay connected between the 'z' output and the '3' input ('x' and 'y' outputs were sent to my mixer via the Master module). This meant that I could pan signals by changing the 'x' and 'y' levels, send signals into the delay and also control the amount of feedback/repeats of the delay from the mixer. |

Looks so great! This is the first AE module ever made and sold outside Tangible Waves. That is a bigger deal than we might first imagine. It is a major milestone in the transition if AE to a real ecosystem with lots of makers as we see in eurorack, for example. robertlanger must be pretty pleased. I also really like the way other synth designers are working with Robert for new modules from his shop. That is a great way to minimise risk to designers testing the waters but not ready to commit to a production run.
A matrix mixer is a perfect first product, since there is a definite need for it and TW don't seem to have one planned. Plus, a black module looks so badass amongst all the bAEttleship grey. |
