ACE goes V1.1

[Urs]

By the way... ther's a bug since v 1.0 when using the mapper and stacked voices: when i use the mapper eg. as a pitch sequencer for the oscillators, things go totally screwed up when i use the stacking voices option, the mapper isn't in sync anymore which results in a complete mess...

Will this be fixed in a future update?

Cheers
Vinz

You mean LFO2 goes out of sync with stacked voices?

Urs - I think vinz89 means the way 'alternate' iterates per voice rather than per note?

[vinz89]

Oops... my apologies Urs... in fact there's no bug at all with mapper and stacked voices... i think that was a patch where i switched lfo2 to free running instead of gate/retrig by mistake...
Just forget what i said...

Ace is still my favorite synth ever...

What did you have in mind when you wrote the code for ACE? DEEP BLUE? This thing should be use by Intel for a reality check!

I can't push ACE anywhere close to the limits, but generally it's fine on my Core2Duo. The Deep Fritz chess engine running on a Core2Duo was enough to defeat Grandmaster Vladimir Kramnik 4-2 in a series of matches in 2006 - Kramnik was the only player to surpass Kasparov in rating over 1986-2006.

Kasparov tells a story here about people, machines, and people-machine teams that I think is the best anecdote about (what I still think should be called machined intelligence) artificial intelligence ever.

You can write a very simple C program to task a CPU (or core) to 100%. The amazing thing about ACE is how much it actually does with today's hardware. That's the real trick.

my Core2Quad 9650 handles it nicely.. i can run 5 - 10 instances in draft mode and then render down at accurate.. what is really challenging is DIVA! i am going be working one track at a time with that thing i suspect.. but, it will be worth it!

You're right. Today's hardware. ACE was written for tomorrow's hardware

The "Deep Fritz" reminds me of what ACE is capable because it turns my laptop into "Deep Freeze" and back to ACE Age, sorry, Ice Age

I need to upgrade

Diva uses more cpu than ACE!!!

They have a Christmas sale at Area 51. Maybe I can buy something suitable for DIVA. Are you kidding me? Can anyone give u-he a calendar? We still in 2011!!!

Live Sessions? IMPOSSIBLE! No more fun!

[vinz89]

Ace is more than usable on a core2duo 2Ghz laptop... in standard mode, sound quality is more than correct on almost every "common" VA sound, gets more hungry with FM and audiorate modulations...but still usable...
With DIVA it's another story, draft aliases too much at high frequencies...and i'm not talking about polyphony

For live sessions, it is the same as old analog hardware... The Minimoog is monophonic and lots of people had fun with that playing live!!
