SPECTRALIS 2
Keep in mind when inserting external signals, that the analog-filters and the
filterbank of the Spectralis have post-signal amps, which may have to be by-
passed if you want to process an external signal without triggering the analog-
synthesizer. If you don’t - you may not hear anything at all of the inserted
signal. You can find more details about this in the section ”How to...?" – Playing
the Analog Synthesizer on Page 36.
You will find the bypass controls of the individual filters on the following
menu pages:
I. Push the filterbank -[Level]-button in the filterbank section,
“FBLBP” controls the bypass for the left filterbank output and
“FBRBP” for the right one.
II. 24dB push the lowpass -(EG-Depth)-button, select menu-page 5.
The bypass-control can be found on display encoder 4 “LPBP”.
III. Push the multimode - (EG-Depth)-encoder-button and select menu
page 7, The bypass-control can be found on display encoder 4 “MMBP”.
3.16.3 Feed parts to individual outputs
You can output random parts via a single channel output. We can illustrate
how to do it very simply using the example of a kick-drum.
In the "Mixer"-section chose the [Volume]-button. Next push the encoder-
button (1) “Kick”. This will open the channel-strip for the "Kick-Drum"-Part:
1/4:S01<Song 01> P15: Chords Part01
Vol:0 Pan:<C> FX1:0 FX2:0
Pushing the [Page-Up]-button will take you to the second page of the channel
strip:
2/4:S01<Song 01> P15: Chords Part15
Dir1/2:0 Dir3/4:0 AnSNnd:0 Drums:127
In this menu set the parameter “Drums” to 0, to take the kick part out from
subgroup control. You can now assign the "Kick"-part to a different output
using the encoders “DIR1/2” or “DIR3/4”. If you only want to assign the kick-
drum to one output, simply set the panorama on the first channel-strip to left or
right.. Of course you can also use the same process for any other parts. As the
signals can be separated from the sum-outs this way, it is fair to look at the
sum-outs as individual outs as well. However, they will always contain the
FX-signal. In addition it is possible to use the individual outs simultaneously
with different levels, as you can see. Due to this flexibility, the individual outs
can also be used as FX sends for external effects units. The outputs of the
effect units of course can then be routed back to the external inputs and be
added to the sum signal.
