SPECTRALIS 2
Tip: What actually happens during muting if you are pushing numeric
button 16 – [Drums]? Pushing that button will actually mute the whole
drum section!
3.1.4 "Solo"-mode
The Solo-Mode allows you to activate individual tracks for closer analysis. Of
course the "Solo"-function is also a popular gimmick when jamming with a
pattern. Push the [Solo]-button in the part-section , then push one or more of
the numeric buttons, which will solo the tracks you’d like to hear by themselves
Tip:
The "Solo"-mode can also be activated ”temporarily”. The process is
exactly the same as the one described for the "Mute"-function.
Tip : Of course you can also use the "Solo"-function to hear the sub-
group ”Drums” all by itself.
3.1.5 Adjusting levels to your liking
You’re not happy with what you’re hearing? The balance of the Sounds just
isn’t quite right and individual sounds are too loud or soft? Let’s change that
now! First push the [Volume]-button in the "Mixer"-section. Now adjust the
levels corresponding to your taste using encoders 1-15. Additionally you can
use encoder 16 to adjust the overall level of the whole drum-group.
3.1.6 Editing panorama and FX-sends
Now that you’re happy with the level settings, you can also adjust the FX-
sends and pan-position in the same way.
- Push the [Pan]-button in the "mixer"-section
- Using the encoders 1-15 you can now move each part between the two speakers
until you‘re perfectly happy with the stereo-balance.
- Push the [FX1-Send]- or the [FX2-Send]-button
- Using encoders 1-15 you will now be able to adjust the FX-level for each part
individually.
3.1.7 Sound selection for your parts
You’re saying the Kick-drum is too boomy, the Snare doesn’t have enough
attack and the Hi-Hat doesn’t sizzle enough? Well maybe you should try some
different sounds!
Push the [Select] button in the "Part"-section.
Use numeric button [1] to choose the Kick-part
You will now see the following message in the display (of course song-number
and pattern-names may vary!):
