I'm using ACE to work up some new SFX and want to use only the noise generator without sound from the oscillators. The only way I could find to mute the oscillators is turn them both to 0Hz -- is there another way of "disconnecting" them from the signal flow? This worked, but I'm just curious if there is a better way.

Thanks.

I'm also using Zebra and Bazille with great results, but for variety wanted to give ACE a shot. Of the three I'm finding that Zebra is best suited for efx because of the variety of filters. That being said though, Bazille is also a beast!

Along the bottom of ACE are various outputs including white and pink noise. Just wire that straight to the filter.

Funny! I ran into the exact same problem yesterday.
Thanks pdxindy for the help!

I'm still not sure I like the fact that Ace is Normalized (default patched.. whatever it's called). I find it confuses me more than it helps. Oh well... I'll learn eventually.

Might be handy if Urs or some knowledgeable person could create a totally 'unplugged' init patch, where the default connections are over-ridden?

As is stated on page 7 of ACE's user guide, there are certain hard-wired connections that can't be disconnected, they can only be overridden by patching the signal to somewhere else.

not possible... (except by behind the scenes coding)... for that try Bazille.

Thanks for the correction Rob and pdxindy.
Although it might be nice if Urs offered an unplugged version, but that probably won't happen as the ACE concept is wrapped up and stable and 'finished'.
Yeah Bazille is a good place to pick up where ACE won't go.
