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.
(The Effect Editors are not available yet)
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 in an upcoming firmware version the 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.
