Both filters are cascade type multimode circuits with two parallel outputs each.ĪCE takes after hardware modular synthesizers, although it is not a truly modular design, more correctly it is semi-modular. Or you can take advantage of the self-oscillation feature for chaotic timbres and more experimental sound design.įor an extra aggressive sound, route your signal through both filters and crank the resonance on the second filter. You can overdrive the filters without introducing any harsh distortion, and the resonance remains intact. Like the oscillators, the two filters are modelled on analogue hardware and deliver satisfyingly analogue results. This map can be stepped through for each played note, it can create per-note offsets, it can transform any modulation source or be used as the LFO2 waveform. You can use the drawing tools to edit the values and create your own patterns, or choose pre-built shapes. The Mapping Generator is a list of up to 128 values. Not typically found in analogue synthesizers, ACE’s Mapping Generator is a useful addition with a variety of uses. Wild experimentation is welcome here-draw any waveform or use the Spectralize function to create additive waves. They are similar to the VCOs but have a different feature set, including the possibility of phase modulation (commonly referred to as FM synthesis) and custom waveforms (LFO2 only).
The LFOs can be co-opted for sound generation. For more intense, complex sounds, try VCO2’s ring modulation, sync and cross modulation. If the bottom end needs beefing up, try adding the sub-oscillator. You can push these characteristics further using the Circuit Bending options. The two VCOs act as the main sound generators, but as ACE does not differentiate between audio and control (modulation) signals, the full-range LFOs can also be used to generate audio frequencies.ĪCE’s oscillators are modelled on analogue circuits, including instabilities and various non-linear characteristics. Once you start connecting the sixteen modules in ACE-exploring new combinations, cross-pollinating ideas-the vast potential of modular soon becomes clear. The “boxes and cables” philosophy of modular synthesizers gives you the freedom to create your own custom instruments. 3 effects: chorus/phaser (4 types), delay (7 fixed options), bass and treble controls.Circuit bending options: slop, crosstalk, oscillator cap failure.
MIDI modulation and performance: wheels, velocity, pressure, key follow, gate, 2 user-definable MIDI CC.2 multiplex modules for signal mixing / crossfading, ring modulation, amplitude modulation etc.2 LFOs with 0Hz to 20kHz frequency range (can be used as VCOs).2 ADSR envelopes with fall/rise, snap, singing option for authentic analogue-style voice triggering.Up to 8 voice unison (stack) with +/−2 octave individual detuning.Powerful glide options: constant rate or constant time, percentage range control, per-oscillator offset.Polyphonic (up to 16 voices), duophonic or monophonic (retriggered or legato).Oscillators include pulse width modulation (PWM), sync, internal ring and cross modulation (FM).Semi-modular architecture (with default routing).With the ability to connect any output into any input, ACE is a powerful synth with tools and features ready for beginners or seasoned users. There are NO returns on this product, please be sure you have checked your system compatibility before you make your purchase.Ĭompact, clear, a careful selection of modules and semi-modular architecture makes ACE easy to learn.
