SPECTRALIS 2
of a missing sample on flash memory. This missing samples message can be
recalled by pressing [Shift] + [Page-Up].Just copy the missing sample onto
the flash memory and select the browse function for giving your Speckie the
chance to load the sample.
The sample-selection can be found inside the "VCO"-menu. The encoders of
the VCO section are assigned to the following targets:
OSC WAVE:
Turning: Selects a sample from the current category and subcategory.
Pushing: Opens the sample selection menu:
OSC WAVE
C:Kick S:TR-Alike 808Phatt [Init]
C:Kick
The first encoder let's you select the category from which the sample has
to be taken.from.
S:TR-Alike
The second encoder allows to select the subcategory for the sample
selection.
808Phatt
With the third encoder, the sample can be selected. The selection must be
confirmed by pushing down the encoder button. Samples, not already
loaded will be loaded after confirmation.
[Init]
The [Init] function allows to initialize the synth parameters to default
values.
3.2.3 Tuning the sample set
The standard pitch of the sample-oscillator can be adjusted in the oscillator section
as well. The oscillator standard pitch can be transposed by octaves using the [Oct-
Up] and [Oct-Down]-buttons.
The sample oscillator can also be transposed by halftones by turning the [OSC-
DETUNE]-knob.
3.2.4 Further Sample-Oscillator parameters
A sample normally sounds very static. Every triggered note does sound exactly the
same. That is a limitation of the sample based tone generation. On real synthesizers
like the hybrid sound engine every note sounds slighly different resulting in more
liveness in the sound character. Some samples of the current spectralis sample
library are created by sampling real synthesizer waveforms. Some of them are
two oscillator samples where you can hear the typical phase cancellation shifting
