Spector
The synthesis is based around a spectrum filter. This 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 A 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.
● A Morph control lets you mix the output of spectrum filters A and B.
Since this can be controlled with envelopes, LFOs, etc. That allows you to create morphing
effects.
● Controllers and modulation parameters are also available.

Oscillator Section
A/B Waveform Pop-up Menus
This is where you select basic waveforms for the A and B output of the oscillators. The options
are best suited for use with the spectrum filter.
Coarse and Fine
These parameters provide overall transposition and tuning of the oscillators (common for all
oscillators, A and B waveforms).
