sorry for the stupid questions but can you not easily patch a cv controllable LFO with the 2ENV modules? Not a stupid question and you can but with limitations - for example there's no sines (unless you run into a slew). |

Wow! Sounds like matrix switch and a cv adder..but more complex!

Not a stupid question and you can but with limitations - for example there's no sines (unless you run into a slew). Indeed, that is a possible way to generate sine-ish wave lfo's or by sending the saw wave through a low pass filter. |

Ok it costs some extra patch cables and you don't have a pure sine LFO but apart from that it's doable with one 2ENV module. I really want to encourage the make with the modules you have mentality instead of wishing for new modules that don't exist (yet). In a lot of cases the desired functionalities can be patched with existing modules and will hone the patching skills and modular problem solving.

Oh I totally agree but in this case when I actually do it, it feels less like a clever use of base building blocs and more like a clunky workaround.

I really want to encourage the make with the modules you have instead mentality instead of wishing for new modules that don't exist. In a lot of cases the desired functionalities can be patched with existing modules and will hone the patching skills and modular problem solving. Disagree with that one where a cv lfo is concerned, mainly due to the limitations of that approach - on a single 2env I can get a rise and fall based slope from three identical outputs. On a dedicated cv lfo module you could have multiple waveforms on different outputs, pulse width modulation, frequency modulation, sync etc... I could pull some of that functionality by using mixers and a slew/edge but there's some you simply can't tap... and you'd be tying modules otherwise available elsewhere for something as simple as a cv lfo, which in my mind is a fairly standard building block. I mean, I could probably pull a sine modulation from a sub audio resonant filter but would I want to tie up my filter that way? (I wouldn't, especially in a somewhat smaller system.) I'm all for patch programing, though in the case of the 2env I'd argue that module itself would be better off opened up further in such a way that the serge dtg/usg is, meaning with it could function as slew, filter, trigger delay, lfo, envelope etc.* It's (ie patch programing) also in my honest opinion much more suitable to patching on banana based systems where you don't need to worry about multiples etc. TLDR: appreciate the intention but appreciate basic modular building blocks more. *Edit: I appreciate this probably isn't possible since I think the envelope shapes might be digitally generated in this case. |

I reaaally want a radio module... kinda like the x audio beatsFM!
Great for noise music!

Hi all, first time poster here! I’m still on the fence about AE but I’m very interested! Having said that.. I’d be very happy to propose the following modules:
- sample player/recorder/looper with built-in line in and mic preamp
- real-world input handler for things like mics, contact mics, springs etc. Basically something like the Koma Elektronik field kit
- a module that can host a Daisy
- not a module, but a stand alone case with built-in battery power and a lid would be great, for outdoors jamming. Perhaps even built-on speakers?

Sample player is incoming from TW hopefully soon, although i'm not sure whether it also records input...would be nice!
You might get your wish about a Daisy host module, but it's likely a while off (i'm experimenting)

That’s some good news! I’d love to be able to go droning in the outdoors with the ability to blend in environmental sounds. |

I watched Night Machine's brilliant demos of the Lumanoise and would like an LDR module with attenuators and range selection, with a colour-changing LCD display - CV and audio signal controlled.

And what about… a Korg NTS-1 adapter module. Would it even fit?

Hello, first time posting here. I’ve been obsessively looking into AE Modular over the last few days (as a complete beginner to Modular).
I suppose this isn’t quite the right suggestion for this thread, though I wasn’t sure where else to put it… Basically the VCASE-7 is really appealing for a newcomer getting into module for the first time. I think a VCASE starter kit could be very popular for beginners (and the MicrostAEtion is a great inspiration)!

I think a VCASE starter kit could be very popular for beginners (and the MicrostAEtion is a great inspiration)! This is a very good idea. There were a lot of good questions on the discord as well, about how to build a suitable 'starter rack' in VCASE format. Like Rocky said, I can imagine that a few different permutations would be supercool! I can imagine: - Standalone synth (with one voice & its own sequencer) - "Sound module" or externally controlable voice (no own sequencer, made to be played with Keystep. So maybe SEQ8 swapped out with another filter & delay? Or mixer? Or some micro modules?) - Drone box (DRONX and few friends) - FX box (cirrus? Rains? Multifx? Env follower?) - Modular mixer box (mixer modules, and a few fx to be used with the sends) - Expensive box causing chip shortages just to show off in front of your "friends" (2x Cirrus original + FMOS/SAWVOX/any discontinued module)  |

Would the ‘sound module’ one need a 4I/O module to make sure external controllers play nice? |

There are two stereo input/outputs built in in the VCASE. So with a splitter cable it is possible with one stereo input to get both 'gate' and 'pitch' signal in from a keyboard which support it (eg. Arturia Keystep, as used by 5th volt admin ). Other stereo socket can be used to plug in headphones, or go to a pc etc. If I'm correct, this is how admin wired up his 'microstaetion' demo's as well. If you want to get clock in as well, for tempo-synced effects, or maybe extra signals from other synthesizers/semimodulars/.. then it might be worth to add in a 4I/O |

I think the 4I/O thing came up in my research because I have a Beatstep, which goes to 10v if I understand correctly. |
