SPECTRALIS 2

2.5.6. "Mixing-desk"-section (to the right above the encoders 1-16)

This section assigns the 16 encoder row to the Part-Mixer of the Spectralis.

[Volume]

Pushing the [Volume]-button in the mixer section activates the volume-control

via encoders 1-16. Encoders 1-15 control the volumes of parts 1-15 and encoder

16 controls the volume of all drum-parts, relative to the set value.

In reality the activated volume-controls in regards to drum-parts 1-11 don’t

affect the part-volumes, but rather determine the level at which the parts are

being routed into the subgroup ”drums”. This allows for smooth control of the

whole rhythm group with just one controller – the ”drums” subgroup volume-

control 16.

The use of one of the 16 encoder buttons opens a channel strip for the respective

part. In the corresponding mixer menu, visible in the display, all mixer

parameters of a part can be edited directly. This menu has multiple edit pages,

which can be accessed using the [Page-Up] and [Page-Down]-buttons.

[Pan]

The [Pan]-button assigns the control of the stereo position of the parts to

encoders 1-15.

[FX1-Send] + [FX2-Send]

The [FX1-Send] and [FX2-Send]-buttons assign the control over effect-

intensity for the two effect-processors to encoders 1-16. Encoders 1-15

control the effect-intensity for the Parts 1-15 and encoder 16 for the

subgroup drums.

Using one of the encoder buttons functioning as FX sends, will open the

menu for changes to the effect-programs.

2.5.7. "Master"-section

(to the far right, about half way up on the Panel)

Using the master volume control you can change the output level of the sum-

output and the headphones output. The Spectralis saves the most recently

selected volume level when the unit is being turned of, so you won’t experience

any disadvantage compared to having a volume-potentiometer.

2.5.8 "Creativator"-section

(right in the middle of the panel)

In the Creativator-section you will find possibility to apply the arpeggiator to

a selected part, having it create new patterns randomly or letting it create new

sounds in random fashion.

[Randomize]

The [Randomize]-button opens a display menu for the selection of

assorted randomize-functions.
