Stimming reviews Erica Synths' Acidbox III (Electronic Beats TV) 

We love him too. There will definitely be more reviews by Stimming for sure.

Telekom Electronic Beats there is a BIG smile on my face right now.

Please do more hardware reviews with Martin :) Thank you!!!

ill second that,-

Thizz face

Wasn‘t meant to compare with any existing filter, this were just a few quick examples out of his head.

I understand that, however it sound like a comparison, especially by mentioning the price. Anyways nothing wrong in comparing things.

Btw. Inside: Vermona feature is ready to release in Jan. 2018 :-)

style,- and ill second you- mr.Stimming is a topnotch melodymaker !

Thank you for your interest! At the moment we have such products in development!

cant wait!

@@EricaSynths Stimming is essentially comparing the Acidbox III to the Analog Heat and the Oto BAUM. I would love to know whether the limiter effect he noticed was a priority for Erica Synth designers, and whether the saturation Stimmung spoke about is completely analog or involves an added digital stage. Those features are what help to sell the Oto BAUM and the Acidbox is less expensive. In fact, I've got an AB in my cart right now. I came back to the Stimming review to confirm what I'd heard before.

@@EricaSynths any update on this? do you have a specific saturator, "fattener" device in Erica Synth?

Here's the song I was thinking of: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F7SZYXFl6_M.html

Wir sind "leider" auch Englisch sprachig, da international ausgerichtet, heisst wenn der Reviewer englisch spricht gibt es keine deutsche Übersetzung. Und die deutschen sind immer englisch untertitelt.

Possibly, when it comes to filters, he prefers the Sherman (as do I). But he was really comparing this to other "warmers" that cost more. He mentioned the Analog Heat, but that comparison also implies the OTO Baum, which has the compressor/limiter feature he liked in the ABIII. And both of those devices are twice the price of the ABIII, at least right now in the U.S.

@@reginaldbraithewaite5833 thanks for your comments...I now own and use the acid box daily....I love it

thx a lot for the info

yes, that is full Bitwig. on windows.

krass76 on a Samsung Android Tablet??

rare but they do exist: www.samsung.com/ie/windows-tablets/galaxy-book/

Nah, if it was creative it would be on both channels. It’s a balance

Also.. just because the input sensitivity of L&R are the same (obviously) it doesn’t meant the source levels are.

It's actually meant for boosting guitar level signal.

i think its cubasis?

It is is Bitwig. He's just using the tablet as a touchscreen display for a Windows PC. Bitwig has full support for touchscreens.

Didn‘t you see the english subtitles?

Erklärt er vorher wenn du genau hin hörst.

Du meinst wahrscheinlich Bitwig

You mean on a guitar’s signal into an amp?

Yes you can, even on 2 amps in same time.

alright! danke fürs antworten

Never mind, I called Erica Synths and figured it out. The IN LEVEL knob ignores bypass setting and it's not a bug, but another [hidden] feature :) This is why you can crank it up and increase signal gain and get the pleaseing limiter/saturation effect you are talking about. Cool.

Its a german channel you idiot. If you cant read that fast youve got issues mate

Sorry, not correct. Electronic Beats is a international music program by Deutsche Telekom. And the last Stimming review was in english for the reason Johnny Apostel mentioned.

@@ElectronicBeatsTV riiiiight its 'international' whatever. You did it english because that guy cant read fast? I dunno why im even bothering.. i (as an english person) dont like it when english speaking people are so unbelievably inflexible when it comes to other languages even though the whole world speaks english

What I do sometimes when I can't follow along is to stop the video and read. I've always been a slow reader :)

@@patientswim6888 whats wrong with being inclusive and making great content available for a broader audience?

You can‘t compare a Sherman with the Acidbox III. Just think about the price.

I don't know the price of the acidbox - i was just listening to the sound ...

You can find a 2nd hand Rodec / Sherman Restyler Stereo Filter for about 500 / 550 euro from time to time. I really love it, though it has some limitations... Easier to use than a filterbank.

xD

Was hat Ableton mit einem Analogen Filter zutun? Du kannst dir mit 400€ auch ein Fahrrad kaufen...

🤭

Not made in China, which is a good thing.

People seem to be paying 600 or so for an MF 101 so this seems like good value and a retro mechanical labs filter distortion will cost you 50% more ( which admittedly goes further) or an elektron analogue heat for double the price so it seems reasonable. But if you don't have the need for something like this then any price is probably too much.

I understand not being excited by a dedicated subtractive filter section (though I wonder why you'd bother watching this vid if you felt that way!). But did you notice his demonstration of the saturation potential, which I think is the main reason he gave this device such a good review? He begins talking about it at 14:24: "Having some kind of limiter on the signal made me think, 'maybe the filter isn't the interesting part at all. Maybe it's really the gain path, meaning the circuit for the audio as a pure -- I mean the VCA itself, essentially.'" Then he shows that the dry peak is at minus one and the the ABIII processed peak is at minus five, again demonstrating the limiting effect, which is similar in that one way to the compressor/limiter/saturation features of the OTO Baum. And I did agree with Stimming that the summed stereo signal sounded better in that one instance coming out of the ABIII. And he even says, "To my sound engineering sensibility, this is, above all, an incredibly good saturator." So it appears that the Acidbox III is a secret, less expensive alternative to the OTO Baum and the Analog Heat, only with character-intensive filters from a famously aggressive Russian synth, and a far less complex engine than the AH or OB. Especially when you find one on sale at half price during Black Friday week.

@@reginaldbraithewaite5833 just seen this and your comment and yeah that seems to me a like a huge plus to this thing, if not one of my favorite facets so far. think i'll be getting this.

@@AByallo: Have fun with it! I wish you could go back in time to that BF sale, but it could happen again. And Perfect Circuit routinely has 10% off sales in the meantime.

Maybe you miss the point?
