<h2>ACE Fluid Synth</h2>
<p>
This is a simple FluidSynth-based synthesizer that uses SF2 samples and comes
with two built-in effects that are part of FluidSynth: reverb and chorus.

<li><strong>Chorus enable</strong>. Toggles the chorus effect.</li>
<li><strong>Output level</strong>. Adjusts the output gain.</li>
<li><strong>Reverb Room Size</strong>. Controls the room size of the reverb
effect.</li>
<li><strong>Reverb Damping</strong>. Controls the absorption of high
frequencies in the reverb.</li>
<li><strong>Reverb Width</strong>. Adjusts the stereo spread of the reverb
signal.</li>
<li><strong>Reverb Dry/Wet</strong>. Changes the mix in favor of either
"dry" unprocessed signal that is being fed into the effect or the "wet"
signal processed by the effect.</li>
<li><strong>Chorus Voice Count</strong>. The voice count of the chorus.</li>
<li><strong>Chorus Speed</strong>. The modulation speed in Hz.</li>
<li><strong>Chorus Depth</strong>. The modulation depth of the chorus.</li>
<li><strong>Chorus Level</strong>. The output level of the chorus signal.</li>
<li><strong>Chorus Type</strong>. The type of the modulation wave, sine or
triangle.</li>
</ul>
<h2>ACE Reasonable Synth</h2>
<p>
This is a very minimal synth with a piano-like sound, developed primarily
for auditioning MIDI files. It comes with no controls, however it can be used
creatively with a number of effects running on top of it.

<h2 id="ace-amplifier">ACE Amplifier</h2>
<p>
This plugin can adjust gain by +/- 20dB anywhere in the processor box.
It's typically useful in scenarios where a plugin's output needs to be
adjusted, but the plugin does not provide its output level control.
</p>
<p>
<em>Gain</em> is the only available setting. It can be set in the generic
plugin editor dialog or adjusted on the respective automation lane.
</p>
<!-- <h2 id="ace-a-b-switch">ACE A/B Switch</h2>
<p>Automatable A/B Input Select. Channels grouped:
Mono out: In 1/2 -&gt; Out 1
Stereo out: In 1/3 -&gt; Out 1, In 2/4 -&gt; Out 2
Quad out: In 1/5 -&gt; Out 1, In 2/6 -&gt; Out 2, In 3/7 -&gt; Out 3, In 4/8 -&gt; Out 4</p>
<h2 id="ace-cross-fade">ACE Cross Fade</h2>
<p>Automatable Crossfade. Channels are grouped:
Mono out: In 1/2 -&gt; Out 1
Stereo out: In 1/3 -&gt; Out 1, In 2/4 -&gt; Out 2
Quad out: In 1/5 -&gt; Out 1, In 2/6 -&gt; Out 2, In 3/7 -&gt; Out 3, In 4/8 -&gt; Out 4</p> -->
<h2 id="ace-mute">ACE Mute</h2>
<p>
This plugin can mute the signal anywhere in the processing chain as opposed
to automating the mute state of the track that works on all processed audio
only. Using <em>ACE Mute</em> in the very beginning of the signal chain means
that in the muted state no signal is processed by plugins further in the
processing chain.
</p>
<p>
<em>ACE Mute</em> has no settings. All user interaction happens
in the dedicated automation lane:

<p>
Ardour also ships with a variation of <em>ACE Mute</em> called
<em>ACE Slow Mute</em> that applies a 1 second long fade out/in before/after
the muting.
</p>
<h2 id="voice-level-activate">Voice/Level Activate</h2>
<p>
This plugin rolls the transport when the signal level on the plugin's input
exceeds a user-defined level. A common scenario where this is helpful is
recording in a home studio where an instrument or a vocal mic is at a distance
from the computer. Arming a track for recording, toggling recording mode, then
clapping in front of a mic or plucking a string will roll the transport and
start recording to a track of choice.

The only configurable setting is the input level threshold.
