AE Modular Technical Guide

AE Modular is a budget modular format, the lower cost makes it accessible to more users, but without reducing the sound quality, and retaining the flexibility and hands-on nature of more expensive modular formats.

To reduce costs its simplifies the requirements for building modules - using breadboard wires, and simpler potentiometers, and a simple 5V common voltage.

This “simplification”, also means it is easy for users to build their own modules - you’ll also find many other DIY platforms also use 5V including microcontrollers like Arduino / Atmel, ARM, etc.

If you’ve never played with synth DIY its a perfect place to ‘give it a go’, try building a simple oscillator - see how it goes..
