Acolyte is a monophonic synthesizer designed to introduce beginners to the world of sound design. Its straightforward interface encourages exploration and creativity, making it ideal for those embarking on their journey into synthesis.

Inspired by the classic Yamaha CS-01, Acolyte offers a simple yet effective architecture featuring one voltage-controlled oscillator, one voltage-controlled filter, one envelope generator, and one low-frequency oscillator. The clear and intuitive front panel layout makes it easy to manipulate sounds and understand synthesis fundamentals.

Staying true to the original design, Acolyte does not include patch memory, which helps users develop their skills by crafting unique sounds manually. This approach fosters a deeper connection with sound creation and encourages musicians to discover their own sonic identity.
