The Included VST Instruments
Spector
• If you want to random calculate a spectrum filter curve, you can choose the
Randomize function from the Preset pop-up menu.
Each time you choose this function, a new randomized spectrum appears.
Cut I and II
These work much like cutoff frequency controls on a conventional filter: With the Cut
controls at the maximum setting, the full frequency range is used for the spectrum
filter; lowering the Cut controls gradually moves the entire contour down in frequency,
closing the filter. Please note the following:
• If a 2 oscillator configuration is used, you can set different cutoffs for the two
oscillators with Cut I and Cut II, respectively. Similarly, if more than two oscillators
are used, they are internally divided in two groups, for which you can set
independent cutoffs with Cut I and II.
For example, in the “6 Osc” modes Cut I affects the sound of oscillators 1, 3 and
5 while Cut II affects the sound of oscillators 2, 4 and 6. In the “1 Osc” mode, the
Cut II control is not used.
• If the Spectrum Sync (link symbol) button between the Cut controls is activated,
the two knobs are synced and follow each other and are set to the same value.
Morph
This controls the mix between the sound of spectrum filters A and B. When the Morph
knob is turned fully left, only the “A” sound is heard; when it is turned right only the “B”
sound is heard. This allows you to seamlessly morph (manually or using an LFO or an
envelope) between two totally different sounds.
Master Volume and Pan
The master Volume controls the master volume (amplitude) of the instrument. By
default this parameter is controlled by Envelope 1, to generate an amplitude envelope
for the oscillators.
The Pan knob controls the position in the stereo spectrum for the instrument. You can
use Pan as a modulation destination.
Modulation and Controllers
The lower half of the control panel displays the various modulation and controller
assignment pages available as well as the effect page. You switch between these
pages using the buttons below the Morph section.
The following pages are available:
• The LFO page has two low frequency oscillators (LFOs) for modulating
parameters.
• The Envelope page contains the four Envelope generators which can be assigned
to control parameters – see
“Envelope Page” on page 207.
