The Included VST Instruments

Spector

The synthesis in this synthesizer is based around a spectrum filter, which allows you to

specify the frequency response by drawing a filter contour in the spectrum display.

Slightly simplified, the signal path is the following:

• The starting point is the sound generated by up to 6 oscillators.

You can choose between different numbers of oscillators in different

configurations (in octaves, in unison, etc.). The oscillators can also be detuned for

fat sounds or extreme special effects.

• Each oscillator produces two basic waveforms, labeled A and B.

You can choose between six different waveforms, independently selected for

and B.

• The two waveforms pass through separate spectrum filters (A and B).

You can draw different spectrum contours for the two filters, or select a contour

from the included presets.

• The Cut 1 & 2 parameters allow you to shift the frequency range of the spectrum

filter.

This makes it easy to create unique-sounding filter sweeps.

• Finally, a Morph control lets you mix the output of spectrum filters A and B.

Since this can be controlled with envelopes, LFOs, etc. you can create morphing

effects.

• You also have controllers and modulation parameters (two LFOs, four envelopes

and three effects), see

“Modulation and Controllers” on page 204.
