Digital Chord VCO 'Le Module 01'

Le Module 01 was the first AE module conceived by M4vrick, French maker fanatic and half of BF Synths. It is a digital chord VCO for the AE Modular synthesizer format. In this new iteration, it's CV input is now listening to the standard 1V/oct, making it playable by any conventional keyboard or quantizer. The two extra control knobs and corresponding CV inputs can change the specific chord, it's voicing and the waveform.

In short:

• Digital chord VCO
• Frequency control knob
• Frequency CV input in 1V/oct standard
• Table knob to change which chord is played
• Table CV input
• Wave knob to select which waveforms are played from the selected table. Full clockwise makes it go into 'single wave', creating a thick single note sound (very handy for tuning!).
• Wave CV input

From crunchy to smooth, a sound for every patch

For the nerds like us: the module is based on the ATMega chip (used in Arduino Nano, and as such Grains as well). This gives it a very specific digital character that makes it wildly different in timbre to the Tangible Waves Solina module. If you want to have a showcase of the wide array of sounds and vibes that are possible with this module, be sure to check out the great demo/tutorial from RSKT:

We've been using this module non-stop in all type of patches, going from moody, murky underlying drones, to bright pads and even super percussive rave stabs. It's fairly simple to patch up, yet highly effective. Great for evolving generative pieces as well: coupling a slow modulation source to the table/wave inputs, gives evolving yet melodic drones (pairs up nice with the SLOTH ;) ).

Cheers!
