If I may come with a suggestion, though I am still demoing Spectra, (

Why can`t I win in the lottery ), An option of a secondary Loop, That you could morph the first loop into, like zizagging between the two of them, backwards and forwards, controlled by an envelope.

But I'm liking Spectra for other reason's. I'm still learning little things slowly everyday. The one detail that I was slowest learning was that Spectra is designed to be a .wav importing beast first and foremost. I imported one wav and Spectra chopped it into 42 harmonies - morphing through them all, as smooth as silk. Very Happy

I tried this function I think, but it didn`t turn out anything usefull, not even something I would describe as anything else than a beep, with 3 harmonies.

What am I doing wrong

Sorry about me not knowing who I am Quoting, I can`t go back and look before replying I think.

It seems to me as if it's pretty important for Spectra that the .WAVs imported be relatively "hot" in terms of the average (not necessarily peak) level.

Having an amazing run with Spectra. I hope that, at some point, you are able to implement alternative tunings via the *.tun system. Of course, I'm not a coder or developer and have no idea whether it's difficult or not. I think, though, that it would take an already extraordinary and profoundly deep synth to a whole ifferent level. Thanks!!

well, I dunno if this is the case here, I will try and see if I can find some loud ones, maybe some I added compression to, and see if this works, are any samplerate and bit rate alowed, or could this also be a problem, most of my samples I made in 48khz, 32 bit.

Torben mentioned "port to Mac". I rejoice!

Hello Drinelli, your quote about the 42 harmonies was from me. And it is true. I actually counted 42 harmonies in that wave, but now I can't remember what it was that I sampled. Some wav's were not so glorious after analysis, 1 or 2 or 3 harmonies. I listened to all the wavs I could locate on sample cds and tried to find sounds that were long sustained, varied in volume and tone/timbre. Like a tone that starts of raspy and slowly morphs through maybe several different sounds and ends out smooth and clean.

Some of my favorites were bass instrument samples that I would pick from middle of the keyboard and analyze them so I could then play both lead and bass with that harmony. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to make time to make harmony programs of some of my other vsti synths put through some sonic acrobats.

drinelli, check the manual; there are lots of advices for preparing audio files for analyzing.

Torben

I should learn to look more often through the documentations of the synths, I some times think that being able to program one synth, makes me able to program anyother.

Not quite so clever I admit.

Thanks Torben, And thanks to rogerperrin too.
