Make Noise Spectraphon Dual Spectral Oscillator EURORACK NEW PERFECT CIRCUIT

Description: DESCRIPTION The Make Noise/soundhack Spectraphon is a dual Spectral Oscillator. Coded by Tom Erbe of soundhack, it uses real-time spectral analysis and resynthesis to create new sounds from those that already exist. It is inspired by classic electronic musical instruments of the past, including spectral processors, additive synthesis, vocoders, and “resonators.” Elements of its sonic palette are inspired by the Buchla 296 and Touché, but it takes a physical form more resembling the classic analog dual “complex” oscillator in the lineage of the Buchla 259 and the Make Noise DPO. The Spectraphon is the first module to be built by Make Noise on its brand new digital hardware platform. This hardware, engineered by Jeff Snyder and Tony Rolando, provides more i/o at higher resolutions, and a lower noise floor than we have ever had access to in a digital module before . We have taken advantage of this new hardware power to unleash Tom Erbe’s DSP code to a previously unattainable degree. In short, it is the most sonically powerful digital module we have yet created. The Spectraphon is laid out as two nearly identical sides, A and B, which are roughly mirrors of each other. Each side operates independently as an Oscillator in one of two modes: Spectral Amplitude Modulation (henceforth abbreviated as “SAM”) and Spectral Array Oscillation (henceforth abbreviated as “SAO”). In any combination of these modes they can also interact via the internal FM Bus, the Follow and Sync modes, and by patching them together. In SAM, instead of oscillating at all times like an analog VCO, sound at the Spectraphon’s input is used to modulate the amplitude of a set of harmonics of a fundamental frequency set by the Slide control. The Focus controls further select the areas of harmonic emphasis, and the result, called a spectrum, appears at the Odd and Even harmonic outputs. In SAM the Spectraphon can be sequenced and frequency modulated like any VCO - and the Sine wave output is also always active. At any time the current spectrum can be used to create an Array for later use in Oscillator mode. In SAO, the Spectraphon operates a little more like an analog VCO: it oscillates at all times, with the spectrum at the Odd and Even harmonic outputs being drawn from stored collections of spectra called Arrays that are created from the Spectraphon’s activity while in SAM. In SAO, the Spectraphon’s Slide and Focus controls are used to select the currently active spectrum within the Array. In either mode (SAM or SAO), the FM Bus will create high definition internal frequency modulation from the opposing side of the Spectraphon. Unlike with analog VCOs, the core of the Spectraphon oscillator is not affected by this FM of the harmonic outputs: the sine and Sub outputs will still output the original core frequency even when the FM depth goes to its extremes. This also means that tuned FM can be performed in both directions at once without causing cross-modulation or feedback. Also in either mode, the Partials control works as a combined amplitude and timbre control for the Odd and Even harmonic outputs. It increases the relative loudness of the harmonics of the current spectrum as it increases, beginning with silence at counterclockwise, adding lower harmonics at low values, then through middle and high harmonics, and generating all harmonics at their full amplitude according to the current spectrum at maximum. The odd and even harmonics are increased alternately up the control, which can be useful for animation when parallel processing these outputs or using them in a stereo setup.GUARANTEE New Gear We are authorized dealers for a number of great companies that back their products with standard warranties.
