acid8 MKII

acid8 MKII is a compact acid machine with a brutal 8-bit core, analog filter and VCA, and a sequencer that makes twisted basslines feel immediate.

Digital bite into analog pressure

The oscillator starts in 8-bit territory and refuses to stay clean. Choose from 16 waveforms, automate them per step, redraw your own shapes, and push the signal into strange harmonics with bit-level tricks and DSP processing.

After that digital abuse, the sound hits a fully analog VCA and resonant low-pass filter that gives patterns their weight, snap, and squelch.

Acid workflow without the drag

acid8 MKII is fast where it needs to be: enter notes, slides, waveform changes, and motion without breaking the line you are building. It works well as a compact acid box, but it also rewards people who want a more broken and synthetic edge.

Highlights

• Hybrid acid machine with 8-bit oscillator, analog VCA, and resonant low-pass filter
• 16 waveforms with per-step automation and editable custom shapes
• Multiple DSP tricks for bit crushing, sample-rate reduction, inversion, and more
• Envelope pitch modulation and fast motion options for percussive sounds
• Step sequencer built for slides, variation, and repeatable acid phrasing
• MIDI sync for locking into a larger performance rig
