Filter Bands / Save
A file dialog will come up allowing you to pick a name under which the filter
will be saved for future use in other patches. Saving the filter is not affected
by the Edit Tool range or any Pattern currently active, its always saving the
complete filter bands definition, but not settings from the filter section (like
Envelope Depth etc).
Modulation
Spectral offers an incredible range of possible modulations. The instrument
contains 12 independent ADSR / AHDSFR envelopes, 5 independent LFOs
(low frequency oscillators), a sophisticated Glide section, an Arpeggiator
and finally the Mod Matrix (Modulation Matrix, see page 45) which is used
to set up certain modulations.
On the very left and very right are the selection buttons to choose which
Envelope or LFO to edit. These buttons also indicate with their color if an
envelope or LFO is used. For LFO's this means that they are in a matrix
routing. For Envelopes it also simply may mean that the corresponding
Oscillator or Filter is being switched On. In either case a slightly lit button
indicates the LFO or Envelope is having some influence on the sound.
Envelopes
Each of the twelve envelopes modulates a different point in the Spectral’s
audio signal path:
-
The Osc 1 to Osc 4 envelopes control the volume of the respective
Oscillator.
-
The Fil 1 to Fil 4 envelopes control the operation frequency of the
respective Filter.
-
The three Mod envelopes are general-purpose modulation sources
that can be used to modulate a range of destinations which can be
set using Spectral’s Mod Matrix.
-
The Main envelope controls the overall volume of the instrument.
