TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES Tangible Waves AE Modular Drones

Playlist:

1. DRONE38 + DRONX + VACTROL PHASER // AE Modular Synth Jam #TTNM​

Taking my new USB powered tangible waves AE Modular synth drone rack out for a spin. The DRONE38, DRONX and PHASER modules can create some fat, moving soundscapes, which I look forward to explore more. The DRONE38 offers six blocks of three oscillators, so 18 sound sources in total! You can switch between wave shapes and take blocks in and out of the performance. The DRONX module then mixes up to six audio signals and adds external send/return effects, as well as built-in bass/treble, overdrive and delay audio effects, turning everything into one thick and gooey sound collage :D

2. 18 Oscillator Drone Music System // AE Modular Synth #TTNM​

My little AE Modular Synthesizer Drone Music Rack in action again: DRONE38, DRONX and VACTROL PHASER! This time with more pronounced phaser audio effects, starting at 3:00​, when I add some slow audio rate modulation from a drone oscillator. In the top right you can also see the METER oscilloscope module, which is cool :)

3. MASSIVE STEREO WALL OF SOUND // All new AE Modular Synth Modules! #TTNM​

Ready for more? Get out your headphones and press play! In this massive stereo AE Modular synth drone music piece I combine the new tangible waves AE Modular modules DRONE38, DRONEX, MIXCONSOLE, TRIP and more! The MIXCONSOLE acts as a seven input, stereo, VC-mixer with dual FX sends (MULTIFX and DRONX modules). ALGODRONE is sending audio through the Korg MS 20 filter and SVFILTER, which are audio-rate modulated and panned to the sides. The Dove Audio WAVETABLES module is sent through the WAVEFOLDER for deep, gnarly bass and the Wonkystuff RBSS "Turing Machine" module adds some randomness to plucky LOPAG sounds. Of course the QUANTIZER is used for pitch seequencing. Lastly, the TRIP trigger processor adds delayed, chance-based triggers for less static rhythms.

AE Modular QUANTIZER - Rhythm Generator Demo #TTNM​

video by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"A short demo video showing how you can use the tangible waves AE Modular QUANTIZER module as a beat machine :D More info below!

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

The QUANTIZER module not only quantizes four CV signals into a musical 1V/Oct pitch scale, but it also comes with trigger outputs. Each of those output fires when a new note step is reached. By sending an LFO at different amplitudes into the QUANTIZER channels, you can thus create strange but repeating rhythms."

AE Modular WAVETABLES by Dove Audio #TTNM

THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"This is a demo video for the AE Modular WAVETABLES modular synth VCO, developed by Paula Maddox of Dove Audio and released by tangible waves.

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

WAVETABLES offers 7 tables, filled with plenty of high quality synthesizer waveforms to switch and morph between. Table 7 contains human voice fragments for vowel synthesis and other weird sounds. You can fatten the sound with the spread/detune knob and of course control the wave selection with CV. As a first in the AE Modular format, modulation inputs allow CV subtraction, via a bipolar switch circuit!"

Note this module is by Paula Maddox of Dove Audio and Modal Electronics.

"A high-quality diital wavetables oscillator

The WAVETABLES module is a digital oscillator that is based of wavetables, a technique that become popular first with the famous PPG synthesizer. Here, a huge number of digital waveforms can be "scanned", resulting in a morphing between a variety of interesting spectral structures.

The module offers seven different table sets, in each of them an interesting spectral move happens via the WAVE knob. Of course, this can be modulated by an external CV too.

To 'fatten' the sound, the DETUNE/SPREAD knob adds a second oscillator with a variable detune up to one octave.
Pitch and wave modulation have an attenuator knob to set the amount of modulation, plus a switch to choose between unipolar (modulation CV is added to the current value) or bipolar (modulation swings above and below the current value).

The table position of the currently played waveform has a visual representation by an LED that changes it's color in the rainbow spectrum.

WAVETABLES is based on a quite powerful processor, the output is 16-bit audio, resulting in a high-quality sound.

This module was developed by Paula Maddox from DOVE audio; known by the excellent synthesizers MODAL 002, MODAL 008 and we are pround and happy that Paula offered to contribute this excellent work for the AE modular product line.

ACID TAPE

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

ACID TAPE provides you with thicc and crunchy analog Acid music, suitable for any situation in which you'd like to indulge in thicc and crunchy analog Acid music.

It is a danceable, high-octane rush of ten (11) vacuum tube burnt, DIY trash punk 303 filter knob twister sessions, spiced up with booming 606 kicks, distorted hi-hats and sprinkled with blood, sweat and tears, from when I accidentally cut myself with the kitchen knife, while cooking my favorite Halloumi Spaghetti recipe. It's basically just crisply pan-fried pieces of Halloumi cheese, green Bell Peppers, Almond stuffed Olives and Capers. Add Tomato sauce, some freshly ground Pepper and voilà! Quick and easy, but it tastes adultly delicious. Just like this ACID TAPE! But this one's for your ears, obviously. Enjoy these Acid Trax! #seopro

Created by The Tuesday Night Machines with two Cyclone Analogic TT-303 Bass Bots and a TT-606 Drum Drone.

On track #10 'Acid Eternal' an AE Modular Synthesizer makes an appearance too.

Track #11 'Monorail Timelapse' was created in Propellerheads ReBirth for iPad several years ago and has been remastered as a digital bonus track for this release.

All tracks performed live and recorded in one take.

Mastered in Steinberg Cubasis 2 in an iPad, with the help of Audio Damage AUv3 Plugins, an analog Klangbau Köln Vacuum Tube Amplifier, a Klangbau Köln Spring Reverb and authentic analog hiss from the TT-606."

"Here's an overview of the new AE Modular Synth ALGODRONE Bytebeat module. MORE INFO BELOW =)

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

The ALGODRONE is a byte beat player and -generator for the tangible waves AE Modular synthesizer format. It features plenty of manual adjustment possibilities and CV inputs, as well as a granular synth mode, which lets you sweep through small parts of the sounds. It also works great as a chaotic CV source!

Ambient Space Music // AE Modular Synth // Solina, Algodrone, etc. #TTNM

Published on Feb 22, 2020 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"I upgraded my AE Modular synth, so here is my first jam with the new SOLINA String Ensemble and ALGODRONE Bytebeat generator ...

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

Patch notes (also in video):
The ALGODRONE's preset 55 is running very slow and its loop trigger output is used as master clock, feeding into the MMDIVIDER. From there several envelopes are triggered, modulating individual filter cutoff frequencies for four voices (ALGODRONE, SOLINA and two VCOs). I'm using all the available AE Modualr filters: NYLE, WASP, SVFILTER and the new MS-20 filter.

For CV generation and processing I'm mixing two triangle wave LFOs, an offset voltage and the ALGODRONE's output with a prototype of an upcoming polarizing CV mixer module. This one feeds into another prototype of a dual offset/attenuverter for further tweaking. From there the CVs go into two S&Hs and from there those CVs, as well as a direct outputs of the aforementioned modules are spread across the patch to modulate SOLINA chord variantion, ALGODRONE parameters, etc.

It's all very chaotic and slow and I really just tweak the "POLARMIX" CV mixer, the "CV TOOLS" dual offset/attenuverter and the master audio mixer knobs.
