Description
The ACE synthesizer stands out due to its compact design, thoughtful module selection, and semi-modular framework, which collectively facilitate an easy learning curve. While it is straightforward, it avoids being overly simplistic, maintaining a balance that offers depth without constraints. The clarity of its architecture ensures that users do not experience limitations in power. With the flexibility to link any output with any input, ACE emerges as a robust synthesizer equipped with features suitable for both novices and experienced musicians. Its modular design, characterized by the "boxes and cables" approach, empowers users to craft unique instruments tailored to their preferences. Upon connecting the sixteen modules, users will find that experimenting with various configurations can lead to innovative ideas and endless creative possibilities. The two voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) serve as primary sound sources, and since ACE treats audio and modulation signals equally, the extensive low-frequency oscillators (LFOs) can also produce audio-range frequencies. Furthermore, ACE’s oscillators emulate analog circuitry, encompassing inherent instabilities and diverse nonlinear traits that enrich the sound experience. This combination of flexibility and rich sound design makes ACE an appealing choice for those looking to explore the realms of synthesis.
