EXPLORING SPECTRAVOX (Continued)
Play again with RESONANCE and
SPECTRAL SHIFT. You will notice that all
five filters move as you turn SPECTRAL
SHIFT! This is the unique power of
Spectravox: its filters are not fixed, but
moveable.
Here you have something like a comb filter—a handful of filters evenly spaced
apart, with their peaks looking somewhat like a comb. Now, begin to move the
SHIFT LFO AMT knob up—just a little bit at first, until you hear these five filters
start to bend up and down together. Keep moving the SHIFT LFO AMT knob up
to increase the range that the LFO shifts the filters.
Move SHIFT LFO RATE up to increase the LFO rate, and
move it down to decrease. Set the SHIFT LFO RATE down
around eight o’clock and increase the SHIFT LFO AMT
to around two o’clock to hear wide comb filter animation
akin to a phaser eect. Shift the CARRIER MIX knob all
the way counterclockwise to VCO/CARRIER to hear just
the VCO, and as you move RESONANCE up you will hear a
kaleidoscopic resonant sweep.
10 FILTERS AND BEYOND
From whatever sound is currently playing, start raising the bands of the other five filters (in this case
filters 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10). Keep sculpting your tone, playing with the VCO FREQ, VCO WAVE switch,
PULSEWIDTH (only applies to the square wave), and CARRIER MIX to explore the wide timbral
possibilities of Spectravox all on its own.
