AE modular - a modular synthesizer for everyone

Thought I'd post this one here as I just backed it and it's fairly reasonable priced and could be of interest to some of you

Wow, 2 rows for the price of like one mutable module. Looks really fun. I hope he makes another batch

Yeah, this looks like it could be useful for someone who wants to add some modular bleeps and things in a non-modular rig.

Definitely doesn't look that road worthy of course (pretty sure the front panels are actually heavy matteboard!) but as a production tool it looks pretty great.

When I see pin headers used like this it reminds me how much I wish there were more modular systems that used EMS pin matrix style patching and got rid of cables altogether, although I see how it would have been a hassle if you were swapping out modules regularly.

But something like this, that's a self-contained system, is prime for a pin matrix, although I guess it would have pushed the cost up.
