About Spectra
Spectra is a synthesizer plug-in which combines multistage additive
synthesis with subtractive synthesis in an easy to operate and intuitive
product. It provides you with a wealth of timbral possibilities, ranging
from classic synthesizer sounds to re-synthesized instrument sounds and
sound morphing. It features a 250 partial additive engine with up to 8
detune-able oscillators per Voice. Up to 100 harmonies can be made on a
timeline for re-synthesis and harmony morphing. An audio analyzer is
available to convert wave files into harmonies. The subtractive part
includes 12 analog modeled filters with resonance, two of those to
self-oscillation. Two LFO's are available for tremolo, vibrato and filter
modulations. Five flexible multipoint envelopes with looping and timestretch
capabilities are available to control amplitude, filter cut-off, pitch and
modulation level for each of the two LFO's. The effect section features
Chorus / Flanger, Delay, Phaser and Reverb. A two bank preset system is
available for easy program handling; you can, for instance, browse through
one bank and easily save your favorite sounds to the other bank. There is
no latency, which makes this the ideal instrument for real time performance
in the studio or on stage.
