After all the big announcements last month, there is nothing much to report from the tangible waves headquarters. We are building and shipping modules as fast as we can and in the meantime we are working on the new modules which were teasered last month, 2LFO R2 and of course all the new and exciting MIDI modules. Those will take some time, but we hope to show working prototypes at Superbooth. There will also be new connectors and carry solutions for the QS cases as well as the QS base plate for micro modules. New Products
PAN/XFADE The new PAN/XFADE does exactly what the name suggests. It 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. You can purchase this module in our shop. uBASE QS This base module for micro modules is made to fit into the new QS cases and is now for sale in our shop. QS Connectors Combine two QS cases together with these connectors. These connectors also connect the power rails between the cases so only one master module is needed. They come in different flavours which you can buy in our shop: New Modules From WonkystuffThese modules are not necessarily "new", just that they haven't been introduced here on the blog before. But all the below modules are available on the Wonkystuff website. Kaestle ARP This module is the third in the series of clones of the Bastle Kastle. It is a melodic generator and sine wave generator. You can find more information and purchase it here: https://wonkystuff.net/product/kaestle-arp/
rbss/2 This is a new version of the beloved random bit-shift sequencer. All parameters are now CV controllable and it sends individual triggers for each bit which is great for creating random drum patterns. Of course you would combine this with the range of https://wonkystuff.net/product/rbss-2/ sd110 This is an analog snare drum module with a circuit derived from the Boss DR-110 SD. Because it's highly tweakable it comes in the full form factor rather than as a micro module. https://wonkystuff.net/product/sd110/
2x4! This is a dual 4 bit counter in micro module format. It generates two 4 bit trigger signals which count in binary according to an input clock. What is it good for? Drums? Triggering things … or you can feed it into the next module, the R2R for generating interesting CV. https://wonkystuff.net/product/u2x4/ ur2r This is an 8-bit DAC which takes 8 inputs as binary and outputs analog CV. This combines well with the 2x4! module or other trigger inputs. https://wonkystuff.net/product/ur2r/ News and Music From the CommunityThe RSKT AE Modular Video Library This mega tutorial project just keeps giving and this month we are presented with a video each for the 2LFO and NOISE modules. Immense respect to RSKT who makes even the most humble module look and sound like a star. Check it out:

Robert from Tangible Waves will be showing off the AE Modular range!! If you happen to be in the north-eastern parts of Germany (it's not too far from Berlin) on that weekend you should check it out. All information on this Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/208995895632027 AE Modular Zoom Meetup The first meetup of the year happened on Saturday 24th of February with a good turn up of people. It's inspiring to hear from each about their music and DIY projects and some of the presented topics lead to lively discussions. At this meeting we talked about laser controllers, ribbon controllers, Australian songbirds, a new prototype of a tracker module and some really cool software synths and sequencers.  Some people lament that they can't come to Saturday events, because they are partying too hard ;-) and for those lucky individuals we've come up with a schedule of different weekdays each month:
We are always happy for new people to join the meetups, so just tune on one of the next meetings! More info on the forum at (you must be signed in to the forum to see this page): https://forum.aemodular.com/board/29/online-meetups Comments are closed.
