Radikal Spectralis

[mynt]

Hey man, kudos on your awesome controllers.

I know there has been ALOT of users of this wonderful beat machine that has requested a software controller for this machine.

what do you need exactly to make this happen?

[atom]

well some specs for the machine is one, then we’ll see.

Hybrid synth – oscillator section

4 free running oscillators with continuously variable wave shapes,time linearity modulation, audio range frequency modulation, phase modulation, oscillator synchronisation, ring modulation, bitreduction and independent pitch and volume envelopes. Alternativly the oscillators can be started with a predetermined startphase. The glide effect is adjustable for each of the 4 oscillators separately. Each oscillator can be routed thru the various filter sections with individual level control.
Hybrid synth – analog filter section

2 real analog filters
– 24dB resonating lowpass with self oscillation
– 12dB resonating multimode filter with lowpass, highpass, bandpass and notch outputs and self oscillation. Both filters can be audio range frequency modulated by the oscillator section, external signals or DSP-synth parts. The filters can be operated in parallel or serial Mode. Of course they each have their independent envelopes for frequency and level control.
Fixed filterbank

The fixed-filterbank consists of 8 bandpass filters, one highpass and one lowpass filter. The roll off slope of the bandpass filters can be set from 6dB octave to max. 40dB/octave by adding resonance. The adjustable spacing of the individual filter stages and the Q factor adjustment allow for an almost infinite number of completely different filter characteristics.
Step sequencer section

32 independent parameter control lines with up to 192 steps. Each line has separate settings for direction, length and resolution. Single steps in each line can be muted, skipped or set up with an adjustable glide. Additional control envelopes can be triggered at selected steps (attack, decay, square and soft curved envelopes with beat oriented duration control and individual depth control for each step). Sequencer lines can be assigned to external MIDI instruments as well.
Pattern sequencer

A powerful pattern oriented sequencer system with realtime, overdub and step by step recording as well as grid based drum programming. Internal song memory stores up to 32 songs and 1024 patterns.
Sampling section

A 32 stereo voice polyphonic sound engine with powerful subtractive synthesis capabilities, real multisampling, velocity switching, 2 LFO’s, 2 envelopes and powerful unisono detune modes for extreme fat bass and solosounds. WAV-files and Soundfont2 multisample instruments are supported by an included windows sample conversion tool.
FX-Section

Two dual digital delays with a wide range modulation LFO for spacey delays, flanging, chorus, ensemble and Special FXs.
Randomize Sound

Creates new stunning sounds on a simple button click.

if anyone does some digging on the net they will find two things true of spectralis

1. its got a complicated hands on interface for new users

2. its one of the most amazing sounding synths (why all the demos on the net is bad i have no clue to)

i was looking through the manuals but there is no midi specs anywhere, can someone point me to such document ?

[mynt]

i am in contact with jörg schaf the creator of the synth and im awaiting reply….. soon…hopefully

[mynt]

ok as it seems right now, there is some bugs with the midi system, which will be fixed in the next firmware update. so this is not possible…crap!

[acemonvw]

Is this software controller still in production? I can’t believe only two Speckie owners posted on here… C’mon guys.

Maybe it was the stupid "We want to make sure you’re real" questions deterred people from registering to post a reply… That’s what I’ll imagine happened.

[atom]

it’s still on and going
