Modules for AE System Risen to 52 Distinct affordable Modules
Modules for AE System Risen to 52 Distinct affordable Modules
With today’s release of the newest AE Modular models the number of available modules for the AE system has now grown to 52.
2CVTOOL
The 2CVTOOL offers two units for offset and -/+ attenuation for CV signals, also known as “attenuverter”. This can be helpful for all kinds of modulation purposes.
POLAMIX
The POLAMIX is similar to the 2CVTOOL in that you can offset and -/+ attenuate CV signals. It further acts as a 3 channel mixer. Try to apply this with 3 LFOs for modulation mayhem!
FMOS
The FMOS is a new digital oscillator that brings FM synthesis to the AE modular! It offers the basic FM synthesis with one oscillator and one modulator, running both with sine waves or triangle waves. The modulation depth and frequency ratio of the modulator can be set with a knob and additionally by CV control. If you want pure sine waves, this is for you too – simply set the modulation level to 0.
SAWVOX
The SAWVOX module is a “complete” synth voice with two sawtooth oscillators, a filter and a VCA, all realised digitally with a tiny 8-bit microcontroller. The oscillators are detuned by a fixed rate to get a fatter sound, and can be switched to a single oscillator. Of course, due to the limited resources of the processor, the sound has the typical 8-bit lofi charm… But the CV tracking is quite fine, and it can find its place in a lot of patches. All parameters can be CV controlled, like filter frequency and resonance.
ADSR
The long-anticipated ADSR module offers a 4 stage envelope that is not only loopable (patch the end output into gate input) but also accepts CV control over each of the stages!
QUANTIZER
The QUANTIZER has also been long in the making and finally it’s available! There are 4 independent channels that are quantized to the same scale that is selected by an encoder and shown in a text display. As an additional feature, the module provides a trigger signal for each channel on every change on the output CV.
SEQ8
The SEQ8 is very similar to the SEQ16, but instead of 16 steps it only has 8 steps, is half the size and doesn’t have the note repeat function. Otherwise it functions the same way and is a great companion to the new QUANTIZER module.
4BUFFER
The 4BUFFER module is a buffered multiple of 1 in to 2 out, with the option to chain the 4 channels together to create a total of 8 outputs for one input. 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.

Available now – Cable Management Kit for AE MODULAR
AE Modular Bread Board Cable Holders by Flavorwave
As reported earlier AE Modular Bread Board Cable Holders by Flavorwave was planned to be ready for order and shipment in May 2021. The cable management kit it is designed for one row of an AE rack. With the Wings used in the studio, and the tabs for travel. The main reason for the difference is that the wings stick off the rack about two inches and could break during travel, but the tabs would not.
The cable hanger “wings” attach in various ways to your AE Modular rack case via the M5 and M3 screw holes. ( see diagram) The slanted grooves keep your bread board cables in reach, but organized and out of your way. The larger groove can accommodate 3.5mm audio or patch cables or your midi cables.
The “Patch Tabs” and Velcro strap help keep your patches safe when traveling, from accidental unplugs, or curious studio cats. The velcro strap runs the length of the case over the connections, providing enough protection without providing pressure that could damage the connections or cables.
Kit Includes
- One Cable Wing (left or right facing)
- One Patch Tab
- One Velcro Strap
- Necessary screws to attach them
- Flavorwave Sticker
These kits are made by myself at a community workshop. Not a giant factory, please be patient if something is sold out. They are laser-cut acrylic.
Pricing and Availability
CABLE MANAGEMENT KIT for AE MODULAR is available now.

AE Modular Bread Board Cable Holders by Flavorwave in May 2021
Coming this May…
This cable management is for my loose AE Modular cables that are sitting beside your racks in a box. Check it out on Flavorwave’s Online Shop. Flavorwave’s first product is a cable management kit for the Tangible Waves AE Modular Synth format. It includes a breadboard cable hanger, and “Patch Tabs” that help hold cable patches in place.
Essentially it is designed for one row of an AE rack. With the Wings used in studio, and the tabs for travel. The main reason for the difference is that the wings stick off the rack about two inches and could break during travel, but the tabs would not.
