ACE may seem underspeced judging from its raw feature list, but bear in mind that virtually everything can be plugged into everything else. You can plug an LFO into a Filter and from there use it as a source for FM. Crazy stuff. Endless fun.

  • 2 x LFO (1 sine, 1 sine/tri/saw/sqr) 0Hz - 20kHz
  • 2 x ADSR (same as Bazille)
  • 2 x VCO (saw/pwm) 0Hz - 20kHz, VCO1 with SubOsc
  • 2 x VCF (two variable outlets each: LP1/LP2/LP3/LP4, HP/BP/BR)
  • 2 x VCA/Pan
  • 2 x Multiples (as in Bazille)
  • 1 x Mixer (Osc balance, Sub, Noise, Aux)
  • 1 x Ramp Generator (up->hold->down->rest, loops if rest < 100)
  • 1 x Mapping Generator (creates variable values for each note or key, can be used as custom waveform for LFO2)
  • 1 x noise (white, pink)
  • 1 x the common extras, such as Glide/Glide2
  • 1 x stereo chorus (global)
  • 1 x ping pong delay (global)
  • 1 x Bass/Treble booster (global)


25 signal sources, 30+ signal targets, some paths wired internally so that it makes noise even without a single cable attached (think ARP 2600).

100% free of Supersaw. Instead it has:

  • exceptional sync /w FM (VCO1->VCO2, think Crossmodulation)
  • LFOs that can be used as additional VCOs an vice versa
  • exceptional filter sound including convincing self oscillation


Support for .tun files

  • pricing: 69EUR (includes 19% VAT, ca. 85 USD net when bought from overseas)

  • formats: VST on Windows, VST/AU/RTAS on MacOS X

Note: ACE is very demanding on CPU. You will only be able to enjoy it with a modern, fast computer. You will certainly learn to appreciate the freeze function of your daw of choice. Don't say we havn't warned you :-)
