I received a bunch of new modules last week for which I want to make a series of videos. First my introduction video about the SAWVOX and FMOS digital oscillators.

the FM is a must for me... but it’s hard to ignore the sawvox with it having the double oscillator, filter AND access to the amp for direct enveloping all in there on a 1unit module!
a minimal set up is getting harder and harder!

Ohh i am glad i opted for an FMOS in my order - should arrive tomorrow. You have a major problem i see, only 3 empty units left. Are you going to expand vertically or horizontally ?  Mikael |

Nice to finally hear them ! Indeed, and nice to see the fmosc is right up my street as I figured it would be. Hmm, where to fit it?! (Or them....) |

admin thank You very much for this! Now I was wondering - would it be possible to chain a couple of FMOS modules to achive more complicated sounds with more operators? I mean to build something like DX7 architecture? Well, DX7 is only a direction not necessarily a goal

I mean to build something like DX7 architecture? Well, DX7 is only a direction not necessarily a goal Hi arti, I don't think that it works like that. It seems the FMOS is a very simple two operator module in itself with one carrier and one modulator and there is no input where you can add any more modules or choose the algorithm. It does make nice bell sounds though. |

But the “algorithm” is just the way the operators are connected, so if the CV inputs on the FMOS work well with other FMOS signals, then it should indeed be possible to wire up the DX7 algos.
You’ll need a bunch of envelopes, VCAs and mixers too of course.

I could definitely see the FMOS with the Wavefolder.

hi,
not owner of an ae modular, but thinking to on a starter rack 1 + ...
the sound of the sawvox seems me very nice.. i project to try to change the VCO by the Sawvox, what do you think about that ?..

That's actually a good idea! You also have the 2OSC/d which already gives you 2 "normal" oscillators. The SAWVOX has so much character that I use it in all my patches now! |

The SAWVOX is a very lofi, digital synth voice though. It almost has a Gameboy character, with 8bit artifacts and lots of crunch. So you won’t get a smooth analog VCO sound from it, which is cool, but something you should be aware of.

thank you for your answer !
osc/d vs vco is there very different in sound..? (ok digital, analog, but is it easy to recognize really ?)
if i was interesting in rack 1 (vco, osc/d, sv filter) and add sawvox and solina what you advice in filter, or what to add to have a solide small system ? thx

I'm really wanting a good sine/triangle OS. Maybe I'd be better of with another analog VCO using the triangle wave through a wavefolder? |

FMOS does indeed output a very clean sine wave! Here is a photo with just the sine wave of the FMOS without any frequency modulation:  And here is this same sine wave going through the WAVEFOLDER with the shape knob at 12 o'clock:  |

Sweet! That's good to know!

The fmos is make or break for the wavefolder while I'm in two rows - might end up clearing it out until I expand (assuming I do) unless the fmos brings more of a party than I'm having so far with it; I've been a little underwhelmed with the wavefolder but hopefully it will come more alive with the fmos...

Hi, is there any info out there about the new versions of the fmos and sawvox modules? Any plans for when they will be available or if there are currently other priorities on the development side?
