so true (and same here), yet so funny the way you put it.

ACE is great but I still don't understand a lot of it, I could do with Groove 3 or Nick or someone to do a proper long turorial video I can spend a few hours on and get it understood.

Or even just some more youtube stuff.

Anyone game?

Am I the only idiot who hasn't got to learn it properly?

Did you read the manual?

As said already, don't wait (no sale anyways beyond an already low price)... this is an amazing synth!

well, I suppose it wouldn't do any harm to have another look I cant say I read every word. I did nicks videos on Analog and operator and learned them pretty well, could do with something like that.

Also, if you should have questions about ace, feel free to ask them:)

Me too, I'm really comfortable with Zebra but don't really 'get' ACE well enough to do anything beyond very basic stuff.
The sound is awesome though, does a mean reece bass :O

I'm not alone!

It's more basic than specific questions. I don't really know where to start. I will watch the vid that does exist again and go through the manual and see if I can get to grips with it.

I think urs should get nick or groove 3 to do one because its a good selling point to have a tutorial vid. Mark Mosher did one which is ok for people with a bit more knowledge but its only 10 minutes. Nicks ones are 2 hours.

ok, been trying for a couple of hours. I can't print the manual which is a shame but I have made the basic diagram my desktop background for now and I have made some inroads, I think I need to just keep at it.

Presets are ok but personally I would rather have a 2 hour training video which teaches you how to make a few useful sounds while ramming all the basics into your head as nick's tutorials do so well (and groove 3)

I would make my own but I hate the sound of my voice when I hear it recorded.

Not even attempted any of that wiring business yet.

I don't know how far anyone asking for video has gone, but I can share my experience, which was that everything became easy after familiarizing myself with how it was hard wired, and after that, it was just a matter of overriding/bypassing the hard wired signals.

For anyone visual (like myself) there's a diagram in the manual, illustrating how it is hard wired.

Also, don't discount reading the manual... It's very well written, short and precise. I actually converted it to .mobi and epub formats to read on my Kindle (since I hate reading on the computer screen).

Lastly, don't be afraid to deconstruct any presets. The purpose here would be to understand the signal flow. A lot of sounds can be achieved by a number of choices, but in some cases equal results.

There will be videos... mostly little tutorials though, but also basic overviews. Been promising these for years, but now I found the right man to do it (the Howie himself)

Will he dress like Darth Sidiuos again, just for the videos?

I LOVE ACE !!
I Bought it just when in came out
It's amazing even when I don't always know what I am doing with it

I am not a synth expert so I more experiment than "design" the sound with ACE.

cheers
