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.

ZebraCM is a more compact variant of Zebra2, featuring a curated selection of modules arranged in a straightforward layout. Despite its smaller size, ZebraCM proves to be a capable synthesizer, packed with sufficient functionality to engage users before they transition to the full capabilities of Zebra2. This version was specifically created for the readers of Computer Music magazine. It includes two wavetable oscillators, each containing 16 different waveforms, along with integrated sync and spectral filtering options. Users can take advantage of up to 16 voices, with modes available for duophonic, monophonic, and legato play. The synthesizer also features noise types such as white, pink, digital, and crackles. Additionally, it boasts 20 different modes that cover an array of filter types, including lowpass, bandpass, notch, shelf, and all-pass. For modulation, ZebraCM offers three LFOs and two ADSR envelopes that include rise and fall sustain controls. Effects like chorus, delay, and reverb are also incorporated, enhancing its sound design capabilities. The user interface is both resizable and skinnable, adjustable between 70% and 200% of its original size, allowing for personalized workspace arrangements. Furthermore, ZebraCM comes with a generous collection of 221 factory presets, giving users a solid foundation to explore its sonic possibilities.
