u-he Releases ACE v1.0

u-he has announced that version 1.0 of ACE (Any Cable Everywhere),a synthesizer plug-in with modular features, is now available for Windows (VST) and Mac OS X (VST, AU and RTAS).
ACE is said to be suited as an entry level synthesizer for modular synthesis as it’s pre-wired in a familiar standard 2LFO-2VCO-2VCF-2ENV-2VCA fashion.

“ACE may seem underspec’ed judging from its raw feature list, but bear in mind that virtually everything can be plugged into everything else, ” the company declares. You can plug an LFO into a Filter and from there use it as a source for FM.

Features:
  • 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 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, according to u-he:

  • Exceptional sync /w FM (VCO1->VCO2, think Cross-modulation).
  • LFOs that can be used as additional VCOs and vice versa.
  • Exceptional filter sound including convincing self oscillation.
  • Support for .tun files.
  • 500+ presets, including banks form Howard Scarr and Skippy Lehmkuhl.
