I mean, I guess it all depends on how much you’re trying to spend. Long sustained 808s should be in their own bud not sent to the Acidbox since they directly affect the envelope release. It has an envelope follower which, combined with the filter, really shines on the drum bus since drums have lots of transients and don’t tend to have sustaining notes. It has an LFO that I haven’t really found useful on anything, so I don’t use it I think that may have something to do with the limiting circuit on it. Basically once you reach the limit, addition gain pushed into the Acidbox 3 will effect the dynamics and color of the sound source.īuilt in filter that has a lot of growl, not great on all sources but the beautiful thing about this filter as opposed to my Moog filter is that cranking the resonance does not seem to remove any of the bass from the signal. One audio attachment has no oversampling while the other has x4. Has some type of built in limiter in the circuit so you can drive it really hard on input and get a lot of saturation without having to adjust the input gain on your interface. Decapitator oversampled x4 and x1, Find the difference I used DDMF Metaplugin to oversample Decapitator from Soundtoys (Yes I am discovering the world) And I challenge you to find the difference of higher quality audio. The level knob works like an overdrive and saturates the signal starting at about 12 o’clock.

It’s not an option listed but I’ve been very fond of using the Erica Synths Acidbox 3 (a piece of hardware that is about $350 used on reverb, made in Lithuania in smallish batches I presume at least for US export)
