Acidbox III Fully cranked

The Erica Synths Acidbox III stereo filter with everything cranked. Team it with a DB-01 and you've got a Polivoks filter going into another Polivoks filter. Both resonances on full, input saturation full and then an added 20dB of input gain on top. Why be subtle?
A few normal DB-01 patterns are mangulated at the start before forgetting about any sort of input at all and just playing latent noise and resonance through a Shiftline Astronaut pedal. We end somewhere among the Krell on Altair-4.

True fucking perfect combination of those tools!

I’ve been looking at Erica Synths for a while now, and your videos really convinced me to go ahead and purchase them. Well done sir. 🔈🔉🔊

[@RichardDeHove]

Username checks out :D Any Erica gear would go nicely with all your acid machines. I subbed you - looking forward to a new jam.

[@ANTRACKSLOOPS]

great demo and examples!

[@noiseentropy]

I really love your tips and explanations. Your vids are very useful. I just bought these 2 machines yesterday and will learn a lot with you ;-)

[@RichardDeHove]

They'll be right at home among your already very interesting collection of small black boxes :)

Gnarly 🔥

[@DenisDriamov]

Like the pattern!

[@dietervoser4425]

Die Krönung ist natürlich das famose Krell Ending - doch schon die reizvolle Säurebad Vorbehandlung ist sehr stimmungsvoll 🙂

[@RichardDeHove]

Danke. Ich hatte ein paar verschiedene Filterpedale, aber dieses hat den interessantesten Funktionsmix - und das beste Resonanzverhalten. Das Krell-Zeug war überraschend. Es schien ganz von alleine eine Menge Abwechslung zu finden.

Holy smokes… I don’t often pause to look at a humble filter device but this is not humble…

[@RichardDeHove]

There's a lot there really: filter, envelope follower, LFO, saturation and gain - in stereo.

[@phjmez]

y didnt ya give the gain on the db01 a crank as well?

[@RichardDeHove]

Since the DB-01 has no volume knob I've got used to just leaving it at a set level. The resonance does get some 100% cranking though.

[@categoryalone4440]

I want to build something same with that with big analog oscilloscope and stand alone for hi-fi sound systems.
Please give info!
My regards!

[@RichardDeHove]

Not sure what I can tell you. The oscilloscope here is a plugin. The Signalizer: www.jthorborg.com/index.html?ipage=signalizer

[@categoryalone4440]

​@@RichardDeHove stand alone analogue systems i want to build connect directly on hi-fi sound system.
I find korg vocal kick and korg vocal Modular. Those 2 can play nicely and i want to add possibly one more good modular synth or your set bassline and acidbox to be filled the sound with looper recording pedal - device or i am open to any advice from your experience and professionalism.
After those i want to add physical analogue oscilloscope for synth.
I needed to connect them and be all with synchronization on beet and looper recording but i don't want digital stuff :/

Isn't the input gain on top the Acidbox3 only on the left channel?

[@RichardDeHove]

That's right - but happily not an issue when used with a mono synth.

Hi Richard - do you have any tips for adjusting the CTRL port configuration. I understand that the switches need to correspond to the label positions on the bottom of the unit, however I have idea what position the switch is pointing as it can continuously rotate endlessly in either direction! It's also far to dark to look through the hole inside the unit, in the event that there might be some visual indicator. Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks!

[@RichardDeHove]

For such an important feature it's buried and unfriendly and it's pretty much impossible to watch while you're turning. What I do is get a good little torch/flashlight and if you shine it directly down into the hole you can see the switch and it's position. You can then get a flat head screwdriver and 'count the notches' as you turn the switch. Then check again with the light. It's a bit tedious but can clearly see the position with a little practice.
