Notes: The FADRMIX JACKOUT is an extension for the FADRMIX6 with two 1/4" (6.5mm) jack sockets for master left/right output and 4 stereo minijack sockets for the FX send and returns.

The module is connected via a small internal connection cable to the right of the FADRMIX6.

Notes: The SELECTOR module is an electronic switch for any kind of signals to select one of up to eight sources or sending a signal to a specific destination (it's bidirectional). It is also known as "Sequential switch" in former modular synths. The SELECTOR has 8 inputs for any kind of signals, no matter if audio CV or gate, and one of them can be routed to an output in different ways: Either by a knob, or by a CV, or by clock pulses to advance by 1 plus a reset trigger input. By a switch it can be set to operate as a dual unit with 4 inputs each.

It's a quite useful tool for more complex patches, e.g. for selecting between different sequencers, or sending a modulation source to varying "receivers".

Notes: The MASTER module is the base of an AE modular system if MIDI control has to be possible; it contains:

The voltage regulation (5V) for the power supply of the modules
A MIDI input (minijack; Breakout cable to DIN-5 socket is available separately); the MIDI channel can be selected between 1, 14, 15,16 or OMNI
In/out-sockets (3.5mm minijack) for audio out and/or interfacing with a Eurorack system
All bus signals (CV, GATE, CTRL, MIDI clock/start/stop) as patch sockets
The power supply is a 9V DC wall adapter (see here).


Note: The MASTER R5 is the latest revision of the MASTER module which is the core of most AE systems; what's new here is:

The bus signals CV, gate, ctrl CV, MIDI start/stop/clock can be connected with / removed from the bus individually with the microswitches

The TRS MIDI input now accepts both types of TRS-MIDI adapters

The mechanical design is changed to be compatible with the QUICKSWAP CASE.

Notes: The uOSC is a super versatile oscillator module, that also can be controlled via IMDI.

It offers a variety of waveforms/sounds, depending on the chosen mode:

Sawtooth, can be changed to a detuned group of three sawtooth waves
Squarewave with adjustable pulsewidth
Triangle and true Sinewave
THREE different wavetables, each one with it's unique, smooth blend between 16 waveforms
The pitch can be controlled via 1V/octave CV or the brand new IMDI signal (see IMDI HEART for more info).

The waveform shape can be controlled via a separate CV and/or also with a MIDI controller via the IMDI-HEART module.

Additional to the normal audio output a suboctave output with a squarewave is provided, and a third output with the mix of the primary oscillator signal and the suboctave.

Quite a lot for such a tiny module, right?

Please note: These micro module needs a carrier, like the uBASE module. The cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The 1-row QUICKSWAP CASE for AE modular is the high-end case for AE modular. It is based on a sturdy metal chassis with a beautiful matte black powder coating and - the key feature of this case - allows to plug in AE modules without any screws! The design makes sure that the modules sit really firm in the case and the bus connection is established automatically by the integrated bus board, so need for the separate bus cable known from the standard AE cases. This means, rearranging your modular system can't be easier!

This case is developed by Kyaa, a great 3rd party AE module developer; tangible waves is producing the case. We are happy about this great cooperation and this marvellous addition to our product range!

With a connector kit, another QUICKSWAP CASE of same width can be attached at certain angles, depending on the connector - and the power supply is linked between the cases also via the connector.

Other utilities, like a handle for carrying a folded case, are coming soon.

Please note: This rack does not include the Master or Power module.
To connect the case to power you have the following options:
install the Master Module
install the Power Module
connect to another, already powered QUICKSWAP CASE
connect to another AE case via the RACKLINK module kit

Notes: The PAN/XFADE module is a combined routing processor for creating panning and crossfades. The PAN/XFADE works either as a signal panner, meaning one input signal is moved continuously between the left and right output, or, in crossfade mode, where it blends between two input signals into one output. Of course controllable by CV; and working for audio signals as well as DC control voltages.

Notes: The uFM is an oscillator module, that is focused on FM synthesis.

It's basically a two-operator FM synthesis, but with extended functionality: The operator waveforms can be either sine waves (classic FM), or four other different combinations of non-sinewave waveforms, that produce a much broader palette of sounds beyond the classic sinewave based FM synthesis.

The MOD DPT knob controls the modulation depth; in combination with a button press also the multiplier of the modulating operator can be defined.

Both parameters can be controlled also by CV and also via IMDI by MIDI controllers. The pitch can be controlled via 1V/octave CV or also via IMDI e.g. from a DAW

(For IMDI, see IMDI HEART for more info).

Additional to the normal audio output a suboctave output with a squarewave is provided, and a third output with the mix of the primary oscillator signal and the suboctave.

*** Please note: the modules are not included, they are shown for demonstration purposes only. ***

Notes: The uENV is an versatile envelope generator with attack and decay controls; additionally, both phases can be CV controlled. The envelope can be configured in AR or AD mode, meaning with or without sustain phase.

The attack and decay times are in the range of 0.01 to 60 seconds; the knobs are scaled in a way that times can be set easily no matter if short or long.

Another configuration option for the output is exponential (the classic envelope shape) or linear.

Finally, an END signal allows operation as LFO by patching the END output to the gate input. A button allows manual triggering as well as entering the configuration mode; a multicolour LED indicates the envelope output or settings when configuring.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. The cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The VSYSTEM-3 is a complete synth in a case of exactly the size of the Korg Volca synths. t contains the following AE modules:

DRUMKIT (lofi digital drum module):

DRUMKIT 010 consists of 11 8-bit drum sound samples; 6 of them can be triggered in parallel in any combination by the trigger inputs. With a BANK selector knob, different combinations of the 11 samples can be selected. The PITCH knob affects the pitch of all instruments together, and with the REVERSE button the sounds are played backwards - quite a nice effect to be added here and there.
Don't expect high quality from this module - it's by design a nasty, lo-fi drum sound source, but definitely with its own character. Works great together with the analog KICK module.

KICK (analog kick drum):

It has three knobs: PITCH for the overall pitch of the sound; with DECAY the length of the sound can be set and with DRIVE a nice distortion can be added to the sound.
With the pitch decay switch the pitch follows the amplitude, giving a bit different character.
And a trigger button is available to check the sound without an external trigger signal.

SAMPLYR (sample player with micro-SD card, various loop modes, almost unlimited sample length):

The samples are simple 8-bit mono WAV files. Features of the module are:
CV control for pitch with 1V/octave
Gate input
NO (practical) LENGTH LIMIT for the sample playback, because the module plays the samples directly from the memory card
Sample is displayed on the included OLED display
For each sample, following playback parameters can be edited: Sample start/end, loop start/end, loop crossfade, transpose/tune, all this settings are visible in the display and are saved per sample
Different loop modes can be selected: Oneshot, Reverse, Loop forward/reverse/alternating, loop hold (loop remains playing when gate goes to off)
Editing of the different parameters is accomplished with an endless encoder and a small menu
CV control for playback start, loop start, loop length, reverting playback, sample selection
Six buttons can be used for quick switching between six samples of the current folder
Additionally to the audio output, the SAMPLYR provides trigger outputs for loop start point, loop end point, playback end; by this, certain other operations can be triggered at these specific points, e.g. synchronizing to the loop points.
...and all this in a 1-unit AE module!

The sample files are organized as simple folders on the micro SD card named "A"..."Z" and per folder files named "0....wav, 1....wav, ..."

Included with the module is a micro-SD card with some demo samples; and each buyer will receive an update for the factory samples, made by the sound designer "empty vessel" exclusively for the SAMPLYR module (provided as download later in 2024).

The SAMPLYR module is of course not a hi-fi, high quality sampler module due to its 8-bit design. It has the flavour of the early samplers like EMU II, Fairlight CMI IIx, Ensoniq Mirage... The typical, recommended sample rate is 16000 Hz. these samples can be pitched up by approx. 1 1/2 octaves max.

Beyond the 8-bit resolution, the samples can be also encoded as uLaw and aLaw; in this case, the resolution is true 10 bits. For converting your existing samples, the open-source audio editor "Audacity" is great for the conversion and editing process.

Note: The SAMPLYR module is a sample player only; it doesn't offer recording of audio.

MIXER 4-4 (4-channel mixer):

This module consists of:
An audio mixer with 4 inputs and their level knobs
Additional 4 separate inputs that are mixed at full level (especially for mixing CV signals) and a separate output

HEARTBEAT (precise clock source, with BPM setting, and tempo-tapping):

HEARTBEAT is a master clock source for AE modular, with some additional features. The module offers:
Precise BPM setting with an encoder in the range of 30-300 BPM in steps of 0.1 BPM
A graphical display for the tempo and additional info and menu
A big tap button for setting the tempo by tapping it
An illuminated start/stop button
Six independent clock outputs; each of them can be configured by a menu to a time signature between 1/1 to 1/32th plus dotted and triplets.
Inputs for clock, reset and two CV and trigger inputs that can be assigned to different functions
The clock source can be either internal or an external clock (at 1/96th rate which corresponds to MIDI real time

TRIQ164 (4-channel, 16-step trigger sequencer, with repeat/ratched per step):

Four track buttons select the track to be edited; with 16 buttons each step of the track can be activated an is then displayed by an LED.

Stereo Headphone amplifier, 2 IN/OUT sockets via a stereo minijack

It is delivered completely with power wall adapter and patchwires; everything needed to get the modular system started!

This is a REAL modular synth system; all modules can be rearranged and swapped as you like.

Notes: The GRUNGE FILTER is the AE version of the filter that gave the famous Polivoks synth his unique, rough sound. The Polivoks was a Russian synth that was produced between 1982 and 1990.

Beyond the basic design, this filter offers some additional features:

Two different resonance characteristics, hard and soft

An FM function, that adds the input signal to the modulation of the filter

An optional overdrive for the output, making the sound even more rough and untamed.

Notes: The u4LOGIC is identical to the full-size LOGIC module, but shrunk to 1/3 micro format.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The uBITCRUSHER processes audio signals by digitizing it with variable bit-depth and samplerate; both parameters as knob and also CV control.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The uCASE is designed to hold AE micro modules of 1/3 size. It is available in the same widths like the other AE cases (12, 16, 20 units). It contains sockets for uModules over the whole width, so no need for extra carriers for the uModules. The uModules can be plugged in and removed easily, even with the AE system running, so you can reconfigure or add needed functions in form of micro modules "on the fly".

The bus connection to the parent case is made with a short ribbon cable, so the uCASE gets it's power supply plus other bus lines from there.

The functionality is basically the same as the uBASE module; here, to groups of four uModules the bus lines lie CV, GATE, MIDI clock etc. can be assigned individually (not used by the currently available uModules, but will become relevant for future uModules).

Included is a small "key" to lift also modules without knobs in an easy way.

Notes: The uBASE module is the size of a regular AE modular module and is the carrier (or BASE) for three micro modules of 1/3 size or two of 1/2 size. The uModules can be plugged in and removed easily, even with the AE system running, so you can reconfigure or add needed functions in form of micro modules "on the fly".

Included is a small "key" to lift also modules without knobs in an easy way.

Notes: The uS&H / RANDOM / NOISE module combines several functionalities for (pseudo) random control; it includes two sample & holds (one of them can be switched to track & hold) and a random/noise section. The latter can be switched between two types of random CV (stepped / smoothed), these either at an internal, tapped rate or an external clock.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: Buffered, switchable multiples for precise CV signals in 1/3 size

The 4BUFFER module is a buffered multiple of 1 in to 2 out.

Buffered multiples have the advantage over the normal passive mults in that there are no voltage drops across the signal path. As the AE system matures into more precision regarding oscillator tracking etc. this is a helpful utility for various situations.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: Identical to the OR2x4 module in full size, but shrunk to 1/3 size. It contains two logical OR functions with four inputs each; with a switch they can be linked to an 8-input mode. Useful for "summing" gate / trigger signals from different sources.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The SAMPLYR module is a sample player module, that plays sample files from a microSD card.

The samples are simple 8-bit mono WAV files. Features of the module are:

CV control for pitch with 1V/octave
Gate input
NO (practical) LENGTH LIMIT for the sample playback, because the module plays the samples directly from the memory card
Sample is displayed on the included OLED display
For each sample, following playback parameters can be edited: Sample start/end, loop start/end, loop crossfade, transpose/tune, all this settings are visible in the display and are saved per sample
Different loop modes can be selected: Oneshot, Reverse, Loop forward/reverse/alternating, loop hold (loop remains playing when gate goes to off)
Editing of the different parameters is accomplished with an endless encoder and a small menu

Additionally to the audio output, the SAMPLYR provides trigger outputs for loop start point, loop end point, playback end; by this, certain other operations can be triggered at these specific points, e.g. synchronizing to the loop points.

...and all this in a 1 unit AE module!

The sample files are organized as simple folders on the micro SD card named "A"..."Z" and per folder files named "0....wav, 1....wav, ..."

Included with the module is a micro-SD card with some demo samples; and each buyer will receive an update for the factory samples, made by the sound designer "empty vessel" exclusively for the SAMPLYR module (provided as download later this year).

The SAMPLYR module is of course not a hi-fi, high quality sampler module due to its 8-bit design. It has the flavour of the early samplers like EMU II, Fairlight CMI IIx, Ensoniq Mirage... The typical, recommended sample rate is 16000 Hz. these samples can be pitched up by approx. 1 1/2 octaves max.

Beyond the 8-bit resolution, the samples can be also encoded as uLaw and aLaw; in this case, the resolution is true 10 bits. For converting your existing samples, the open-source audio editor "Audacity" is great for the conversion and editing process.

Note: The SAMPLYR module is a sample player only; it doesn't offer recording of audio.

Notes: Especially when adding new modules to your AE modular system, it's recommended to check the status of the supply voltage. When too many modules are supplied by one MASTER or POWER module, the supply voltage can drop too low below 5 volts; this can cause some issues like oscillators losing the tracking/calibration, digital modules can show some malfunction and so on.

To make the voltage check convenient, you can use the VOLTAGE TESTER: You can plug it either into a free socket on the bus cable, or via the included adapter, to the extension header at the front/rear side of the case. Then, 5 LEDs show the supply voltage, either green for "ok" (supply voltage is in the range of 4.9 - 5.1 volts), or other colours for too high or too low voltage in steps of 0.1 volts.

Notes: The uSUBOCTAVE adds pulse waves one and two octaves below the input signal.

The suboctave signals can be mixed to the orgininal signals with two knobs; additionally, the single suboctave signals are available separately at two outputs.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The uPROBAGATE (also known as Bernoulli gate in the eurorack world) distributes a gate/trigger signal to two / three different outputs randomly. The probability knob controls the percentage of distribution to the outputs - from "only output 1" to "1 and 2 mixed" to "only output 2" to further distribution to the 3rd output. The switch allows two options: Only one output at a time - multiple outputs at a time.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The uTONE is a bass-treble tone control, that is a quite useful tool to shape the overall spectrum of individual signal paths.

Please note: These micro modules need a carrier, like the uBASE module. They cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.

Notes: The uBASE-QS 2 module is the carrier (or BASE) for four micro modules and explicitly designed for use in the QUICKSWAP CASEs. This carrier module can be plugged into the QS case as any other module; then, the uModules can be plugged in and removed itself into it, even with the AE system running, so you can reconfigure or add needed functions in form of micro modules "on the fly".

A number of sockets provide access to the bus signals, like CV, gate, cotroller, MIDI start/stop/clock.

Included is a small "key" to lift also modules without knobs in an easy way.

Notes: The VSYSTEM-1 is a complete synth in a case of exactly the size of the Korg Volca synths. It contains the following AE modules:

2OSC/d (dual oscillator)
The 2OSC/d module contains two 1V/octave hybrid oscillators.
Each of them has:
one frequency knob plus a range switch +2 octaves
CV input (1V / octave)
PWM input
SYNC input
Sawtooth / Square / Sub-octave output

The pulse width knob controls either the pulse width of the first oscillator (with the second one having a fixed pulse width), or via a switch the second oscillator is also controlled by the pulse width knob. Both oscillators can be pulse width-modulated independently by their PWM inputs.
The module is designed as a hybrid digital/analogue module; the oscillator frequencies are determined digitally and are therefore quite stable and have a good tracking; the output waveform itself is created analogue. It's a new idea/concept that I have implemented here; the design causes the waveform to gets a bit gritty at higher frequencies (but not "digital noise") - it's the character of this thing!

WASP FILTER
This filter module is a variant of the Wasp filter, a quite strange circuit used first in the EDP Wasp synth end of the seventies, which abuses digital chips in an analogue way leading to the characteristic sound of this filter type. In this module, vactrols are used for controlling the filter frequency.

MODULATORS (containing LFO, envelope, random voltage, VCA)
MODULATORS is a multifunctional module offering different kinds of modulation sources in a 1U module. It is designed especially with very small AE systems in mind.
You get:
An AD envelope generator
an LFO with adjustable rate, square wave and triangle/sawtooth output, pulse width knob and CV control
a random CV source working in different modes (stepped, smoothed, quantized) and a VCA

4ATTMIX
A versatile mixer / quadattenuator.
4ATTMIX offers four input channels which can be level controlled / attenuated by the corresponding knobs. The attenuated signals are sent to four outputs.
Additionally, each channel can be sent to an internal mixer by the switches beside the knobs. The mix signal is then sent to the mix output.
An additional switch selects the general operation mode for the mixer, for DC/CV signals or for audio signals.

SEQ8 (8-step sequencer)
The SEQ8 is an 8-step sequencer for controlling oscillator pitch and triggering envelopes.
Compared to "classic" analogue sequencers it works a bit different: Instead of setting the CV for each step independently (which means in fact "tuning" each step which can be a bit tedious), the SEQ8 has 4 knobs for presetting different CV's (= notes); each of the 8 step knobs selects one of these CVs, plus 0V (=base note) plus Pause (no trigger output). So some CVs have to be fine-tuned once; with the step knobs you can focus entirely on the sequence itself and you can even modify it on the fly, still remaining in tune.
Additionally, to the selected CV presets, the "raw" value of the step knobs is also accessible at an extra output.

DELAY
This module is a standard mono delay with the usual parameters
delay time
feedback
dry/wet mix.
It sounds not as clean and polished as a usual digital delay, but has quite a character on its own. High feedback settings allow endless and distorting loops.
(For the techies: It is based on the well-known PT2399 chip.)

Stereo Headphone amplifier, 2 IN/OUT sockets via a stereo minijack

It is delivered completely with power wall adapter and patchwires; everything needed to get the modular system started!

This is a REAL modular synth system; all modules can be rearranged and swapped as you like!

Notes: The IMDI HEART module is the central module for using IMDI (the "internal MIDI" transmision) within AE modular.

It receives MIDI, either by a TRS adapter, or via USB-C (the module appears as Class-compliant MIDI device on a computer); the incoming data is splitted up to 16 outputs carrying IMDI data. Each output contains the information of one (or more) MIDI channel(s) and a freely assignable note range, in the standard MIDI data rate or at a much higher data rate. Realtime data, like MIDI start/stop/clock is provided as gate/trigger outputs; the 1/96th clock can be divided to other, slower clock rates.

The outputs can drive then modules that can receive IMDI, like the micro oscillators (uOSC, uFM, uPOLY) and other upcoming IMDI capable modules.

The 16 chains of IMDI controlled modules you get with IMDI HEART is enough for quite complex setups, so in most cases, one IMDI HEART will be enough.

Notes: The uPOLY is a polyphonic, 4-voice sawtooth oscillator module.

It can work either as a source of pre-defined chords in major or minor scale; or it can be controlled via IMDI as a paraphonic oscillator with a common envelope.

Each voice consists of two sawtooth oscillators, that can be detuned by a certain amount; this makes this module most suitable for smooth pad sounds.

A switch changes between minor and major scale; the FREQ knob and the CV input goes through the chords of the chosen scale.

Another feature of the module is a chorus effect that can be mixed into the output.

When controlled by IMDI, the possibilities are even more:

Notes can be played individually
A common volume envelope is applied to the sound; Attack and Decay time can be controlled via MIDI controller messages from your DAW or MIDI controller
An LFO with adjustable rate and depth can be applied
All parameters can be controlled by MIDI controllers via the IMDI HEART module; over one single patch cable! (Regarding IMDI, see IMDI HEART for more info).

Quite a lot for such a tiny module, right?

Please note: These micro module needs a carrier, like the uBASE module. The cannot be mounted directly into an AE case.
