Description

Edit description

Dive into the world of modular synthesis with the Tangible Waves AE Modular STARTER RACK 1, a comprehensive all-in-one system designed for both budding enthusiasts and seasoned sound architects. This compact yet powerful setup offers an ideal entry point into the modular domain, enabling you to explore an expansive sonic palette without overwhelming complexity.

The STARTER RACK 1 is equipped with a thoughtfully curated selection of essential modules, including a master module, dual oscillators (2 osc/d), a versatile VCO, and a noise generator. This foundation is complemented by two low-frequency oscillators (LFOs), a state-variable filter (SVFilter), an envelope, and dual VCAs, ensuring you have the tools needed to sculpt and shape sound to your liking. The system also features two attenuator/CV modules, a mixer, sample & hold, and a delay, providing further opportunities for sonic experimentation.

What sets this system apart is its expandable nature; the rack's design allows for easy integration of additional cases via a joint kit (sold separately), offering room for your modular journey to grow. Arriving complete with a power supply unit, MIDI breakout cable, and a variety of patch wires, you'll be ready to start creating right out of the box. Whether you're aiming to craft ambient soundscapes or pulsating rhythms, the AE Modular STARTER RACK 1 delivers an accessible yet deep modular experience.

Key Features:

Complete AE modular system in a one-row rack (1x16 units)
Includes essential modules: master, 2 osc/d, VCO, noise, 2 LFO, SVFilter, envelope, 2 VCA, 2 att/CV, mixer, sample & hold, delay
Extensible design allows for additional cases via a joint kit (not included)
Shipped with power supply unit, MIDI breakout cable, patch wires, and quick start guide
