Audiophile Circuits League shared this audio demo of their System 2, their second complete Eurorack modular system.
Here’s what they have to say about the 84hp system:
“Following the success of System 1, we received many requests for a more conventional subtractive synth design (1 had a heavy focus on creative stereo sound).
So the focus is on creating powerful bass and leads, with plenty of modulation options, whilst still allowing scope for experimentation, and harnessing the unrivalled power and sound quality that make our individual modules so popular.
The result has some very distinct specialities and the unmistakable flavour of our modules, and is designed to slot easily into a bigger set-up too.”
Modules:
- 1 x ACL Multifunction Discrete VCO
- 1 x ACL Variable Sync VCO
- 2 x ACL Oktave
- 1 x ACL Discrete Core Ladder VCF
- 1 x ACL Gate Mix
- 2 x ACL Multi II
- 1 x ACL Envelope x 3
- 2 x ACL QLFO
- 2 x ACL VC Dual Amp
- 1 x ACL Audio Interface
- 1 x 2 Row 84 TE ACL Case incl.1 x ACL KAZU PSU
See the ACL site for details.
They should really post these, or something similar, as VCV Rack files so people can play a bit before purchase, as real world shops are going to be shut for most of the world for most of the year…
that’s not going to work, vcv can’t substitute the real deal both in terms of sound and patching experience. Plus vcv has sooo many modulation and sequencing options that would just be unreasonable to have in hardware.
I would guess that would be a challenge especially for the analog modules. Regardless, I doubt there’s much data out there to figure out the ROI on porting modules to VCV Rack. Boutique eurorack and VCV Rack are pretty niche markets.
Everything should be free. They really should just give up their IP to VCV rack, well because….You aren’t the target market.
4600 euro.
That’s a bargain! ;p
premium grade construction and quality is certainly worth it in the right contexts, but yeah, i think a lot of people looking for a general subtractive synthesis approach can get much cheaper and just as comprehensive systems with good enough quality. it all has its place!
Not true, cheaper modules are better, this is an analogue monster, I own a few of their modules. Except SSF Solid State Fate (in special for percussion). Nothing to date come close. If you go Modular, don’t put on it digital stuff as oscillators, filters or effects ( for that computers do the job), even less mixers, few exception with personal identity apart, like IME. IME modules are digital but la crème de la crème + the sound is unique. XAOC Zadar… yeah there some but not for the “superb” fat sound..
Sequencers I agree digital could work pretty well.
try the ACL envelopes to pair with your analogues modules they’re unique. Macbeth was great too. And of courses Cewjmann. Another league.
Hard to afford cause their expensive but that not apology the idiot reaction of believing digital cheaper stuff can do the same job at better prices.
