Berlin based sound designer Aaron Day is defiantly taking the lead designing sound for top brands like Mtv and Audi using his impressive set of ACS moduls. Click here to view/hear ACS power user Mr. Day in action. When it comes to analog synthesis René Schmitz is by far on top of it knowing it all inside out. A brilliant electronic circuit designer who (on a daily basis) challenge the ordinary world of circuit design. Did we mention Renés ACS setup ? Right on top of the ACS setup is the 'Blue Box' modular synthesizer driven by a pair of TM-116 and one Quantizer. The original ACS demonstration system used in Europe holding 2 TM-116, one Quantizer, 3 MOTM Vco's, one 440 Filter and one Envelope Generator. On top of the rack is a Volt meter demonstrating the amazing precision of the ACS Quantizer. The HAMLIN Analog Synthesizer project is a custom design synth made for the Frankfurt based Techno DJ who spin records like no one else, the one and only DJ Oliver Keim (Next Rec). From the sick minds of Mr. Milstein, Schmitz and Arosh the Hamlin represent a new approach in analog synthesis. One of the most powerful features of the Hamlin is its ability to morph from sound to sound on the fly while playing and its easy as twisting a knob. Here are few sounds recorded at the Analogic-ACS lab just few hours before the Hamlin left to Germany. Part from the bass drum All the sounds are made with one Hamlin only!!! we used the TM-116 and Quantizer to play the sequence and an old Digitech digital effect processor for delay, recorded directly to a laptop line in. Near by the beautiful Pyrenees mountain Papareil Synth Labs is a well knows source for custom design pro audio equipment based in France. Marc Bareille the designer runs an impressive lab with years of experience servicing top studios in France. Marc is a designer of MOTM compatible modules and he plays his system using the ACS setup. Its probably this massive ACS photos that Analogic ACS is famous for. Well those where taken some where in 2003, the good news is that this system had almost double in size since then.
