FMOS Module – FM synthesis for the AE Modular
Tangible waves finally launched a new FM synthesis module.
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.
The module is based on a simple 8-bit microcontroller and an adapted design of Jan Ostman.
Pricing and Availability
FMOS is available now at the AE Modular / Tangible waves shop.

AE Modular – Getting Started – DRONE38 and DRONX
DRONE38 and DRONX – Getting Started
This is an overview of the two new drone modules for the AE Modular Synth from tangible waves. I’m presenting a short demonstration of the sound in the beginning and then will explain the functions of each module in detail. Towards the end there are some thoughts on how to approach making music with these modules.
Please check out my other tutorials in the Getting Started series for more information on the various modules of the AE Modular system.
tangible waves produce the AE Modular synthesizer system which offers a true modular electronic instrument at an affordable expense. Join the wonderful and accommodating community on AE Modular Forum to discover more about AE Modular.

Poly-8 Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
Poly-8 VCO
Wavefonix launched their latest eurorack module the Poly-8 VCO. This new eurorack module is now available to order from the online store. Poly-8 Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) represents the first in a line of 8-voice polyphonic modules developed by Wavefonix that will be released in the coming months.
The Poly-8 VCO module is one of a kind. It is a premium polyphonic oscillator bank, comprising eight CEM3340 (Rev. G) VCOs in a clean, compact and ergonomic design. Each VCO features a vast range of modulation capabilities, including hard sync, PWM, 1V/octave and exponential/linear FM.
Each VCO provides simultaneous ramp, triangle and pulse waveform outputs. The authentic CEM3340 architecture offers an instantly recognisable, rich analog sound found in many famous synthesizers from the past, such as the Prophet 5 etc.
- Premium polyphonic oscillator bank comprising eight CEM3340 (Rev. G) VCOs.
- Three simultaneous, buffered 10Vpp (±5V) waveforms per VCO, including DC-coupled ramp, triangle and pulse outputs, with controllable PW and PWM CV inputs (0V to 10V). Pulse output is derived from the CEM3340’s triangle waveform using external circuitry.
- Individual coarse and fine frequency control knobs provide an adjustable frequency range of more than ten octaves (approximately 8Hz to 16KHz) for each VCO.
- Each VCO has a wide range of modulation inputs; including hard sync (comparator-based), PWM, 1V/octave and exponential/linear FM (switchable).
- Ergonomic design.
- Hand-built and tested in the UK.

Poly-8 VCO is available now.

Why your LFO needs a CV input – Patch-tips with the MFB dual voltage controlled LFO
Patch-tips with the MFB dual voltage controlled LFO
Today we are going over some interesting ways to spice up patches using voltage controlled LFOs. LFOs with CV inputs are great for dynamic modulation, interesting shifting patterns, and to add texture and detail in your patches. First we’ll have a quick look at the MFB Dual LFO, and then we dive right in to some patch ideas!
