SPECTRALIS 2
3.16 Signal routings - Foreword
We’re sure you have noticed that the Spectralis on the one hand has two
separate synth sections independent of each other – the analog synth and
the DSP sampling synth – but also features two external inputs. Additionally
the Spectralis has numerous routing options – mostly discussed in the
chapters dealing with the analog synth descriptions up to now. Routing
inside the Spectralis however is not an exclusive feature reserved for the
Modules of the "Analog-Synth"-Voice. Additionally you can:
a.) Route individual Parts of the DSP section to the filter module of
the analog synth..
b.) Route random input signals with line-level to the analog synth or
the effect section or add them to the sounds of the Spectralis.
c.) Assign individual parts to the individual outputs.
In this chapter we want to introduce some of these possibilities to you:
3.16.1 Routing DSP-parts to the analog-synthesizer
Please chose song 1 and in this song select pattern 15 of the factory presets.
Are you noticing anything? This pattern contains a DSP-part with a played
chord motif, which has been processed rhythmically with by the filterbank
and the step-sequencer. You can hear the effect a little better by pushing
the [Solo]-button in the "Part"-section and using numeric buttons [12] and
[13] to Solo the two parts ”Analog”-Synth and ”DSP-Synth 1”.You can
also emphasize the Filterbank-Signal with the processed DSP Part, by
pushing the [Level]-button in the "Filterbank"-section and raising the
level of the filterbank-signal using the encoder[11] “FB-Level”.
Let’s see how this routing was created. Chose the [Level]-button in the
"Mixer"-section and next push the encoder-button [13] ”DSP-Synth1”.
This will open a channel strip for the DSP-1 part:
1/4:S01<Song 01> P15: Chords Part15
Vol:0 Pan:<C> FX1:125 FX2:0
In this menu you can see the selected song, the selected pattern and the
selected part in the upper display row. Using the 4 encoders you can now
edit the sum-out level, the panorama position as well as the two FX-sends
of these parts. Use the [Page-Up]-button now to select the second menu
