SPECTRALIS
2.3 Connections and operation
2.3.1 Audio connections
I.
Connect the outputs ”Sum R” and ”Sum L” with your audio/monitoring system. You
can use the inputs of a normal stereo-system, the inputs of a mixer, a soundcard with
hardware monitoring or active monitors. If you’re connecting the Spectralis to a stereo
system or a separate stereo preamp, select inputs with suitable impedance. In no case
should you use the phono-inputs of your stereo-system! Suitable inputs for the Spectralis
are ”cd”, ”aux” or ”line in”. All audio signals of our preset patterns from the various
sections of the Spectralis are output via the sum-outs. Signals can also be routed to the
sum outputs just as well as to the individual outs. In an extreme case you can even add
the signal of a single oscillator to a sum output, in order to modulate an external analog
sound generator.
II.
Signals of the hybrid synth section can be recorded individually via the “A SYNTH
R” und “A SYNTH L” Outputs.
Due to the analog sounds and the analog filters, we have are using the term
analog synth on the frontpanel, to create a clearer distinction between
samplebased tone-generation and the hybrid synth. From here on in and for
these same reasons we will use the term ”analog-synthesizer” instead of ”hy-
brid-synthesizer” frequently, even though a large part of the sound creation was
accomplished digitally.
Please keep in mind, that direct outputs always deliver a dry signal. Potential effects,
which you may have used in the other DSP for processing of the analog-synth sound, will
not be part of the signal on these outputs.
III.
You can add random signals of the DSP/sample or the analog-synthesizer section to
the
"DIRECT“
1 – 4 outputs with adjustable level.
IV.
Connect the
"PHONES“
-Output with your headphones. The signal is equivalent to
the level of the sum-out pair. The level of the headphone signal can be controlled with the
(master-volume)
-encoder
V.
Connect the external inputs with the audio-outs of external instruments if you wish to
process their audio-signals with the Spectralis.
