SPECTRALIS 2
[Arpeggiator]
The [Arpeggiator]-button opens the display-menu for editing the
arpeggiator settings. A typical classic arpeggiator is a setting which breaks
down played chords (a polyphonic sound consisting of multiple notes)
into individual notes and plays these notes corresponding to a variety of
instructions sequentially.
2.5.9 "Synth-Edit"-section (LFO, VCO, VCF, VCA)
This Section provides the encoders and buttons needed for editing sounds.
They always affect the currently selected part or in the case of subgroup drums
always relative to the selected parameters of all drumparts (available in Versi-
on 1.0). A more detailed description of these sections will be contained in the
reference manual. Suggestions on adjusting the DSP synth parts can be found
in Lession 3.2 on page 36 of this manual. Still, we don’t want to keep you
completely in the dark regarding the analog-synth, which is why we’ve also
included a basic overview of this powerful synthesizer in a dedicated "How
to"-chapter on page 43.
2.5.10. "Transport"-section (the section with the green button)
If we had to guess we’d think that the transport-section is probably the one section
of the Spectralis which will generate the fewest questions.
[
] = [Stop]
Using the [Stop]-button will stop the sequencer. When restarted, the
sequencer will start with beat 1 of the song or the selected pattern.
[ ] = [Play]
Pushing the [Play]-button starts the Sequencer. If the [Play]-button is
pushed while the sequencer is running, the button doubles as a ”pause”-
function. Pushing the [Play]-button again will start the Sequencer right
at the position where it was stopped.
[Rec]
Pushing the [Rec]-button activates the record function for the currently
selected part. In the menu visible in the diplay you can change the meter
length and tempo settings. The real recording process though will only
start once the [Play]-button is pushed
[Overdub]
This button starts overdub recording directly.
