Friendly critique on ACE

[Howard]

Maybe a good way to ease people into ACE would be to put "power" buttons on the modules to disable and hide them and introduce each through tutorials.

There are little "introduce each" tutorials here:


And this little document that might also help:

The next round of user guide updates will probably start with YouTube links and better overview sections, but I don't think it makes much sense to include tutorials (and per-module power buttons) with the application.

Maybe someone older and wiser can chime in and tell me if this is true or not, but I was just thinking that it's pretty unusual in the grand scheme of synthesizer history to have all this synthesis power available without "paying your dues" using limited monosynths. Even most people that used modulars would either have to build up slowly due to price reasons or they had a teacher "built in" because the synth belonged to a university.

I'll make no claims re. wiser, but based on longevity I'll say basically true. There can be no freedom without discipline.

There's more synthesis power available than ever, some of it higher quality than ever (U-He), and it's cheaper than ever.

Gosh, what a drag!

ACE is my all-time favorite, but I have to admit that if there were an option to simply turn off all the default routings I would use it.

What I'd *REALLY* like though is an ACEify to go with Zebrify haha. I want to be able to run anything through those filters.
