INTRODUCTION TO SPAWN
SPAWN is a monophonic (one voice) Quasi modular rack synthesizer. It’s principle sound source the Voltage
Controlled Oscillator (VCO) generates a variable waveform along with two sub squarewaves and a white noise
source, these signals can be mixed and introduced into the resonant 24dB per Octave low pass ladder filter
(VCF). This stage is followed by a Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA). Both the VCF and VCA can be controlled
by the four part multi function Envelope Shaper. A Voltage Controlled low frequency Oscillator (VCLFO) is provided
for frequency and waveshape modulation.
SPAWN also includes a performance VCA (MIDI - CV MOD VCA) this will accept both audio and control signals
and can be controlled by both a control voltage or the internal high performance MIDI - CV convertor.
All signal and modulation routes can be isolated (see Isolation Patch pg 23) allowing for true modular synthesis.
SPAWN is provided with 37 3.5mm Jack sockets to allow signal and modulation patching.
