LinPlug Spectral public beta for pc out

[MillerSam]

What do you think about the price ?

What do you expect as final price ?

[Neon Breath]

I have reaktor and played with razor ..even zebra has basic spectral morphing ..
In both synths spectre and razor ...Everything is done with a sine bank or let's( an I gues zebra to for the spectral filtering and osc effects ) say a huge amount of partials ... , even the filters ...which just re arranges the partials of the osc...so there is no actual filtering going on ..anyway ..
Yes spectre has a lot more options , including the ability to draw your own filters which razor can't ...in razor all the filters are templates made by the programmer for the sine bank ( lp , phaser like , comb ....etc all sn...
so yeah spectre wins there ....
Ohh yeah the gui is verry slow on my computer ..and consumes a lot of cpu ( only the gui ) anyone else have this problem ?

Why do you find it necessary to invent your own homespun sentence structure, with all these DIY elllipses and s--t?

If your idea is to share thoughts with others, consider using standard methods of expressing yourself. Otherwise, don't bother to post. Your mess is impossible to read.

I love the sound tbh, tons of bite.

So since there is no way to route things to one filter is there some way to link the filter and envelope parameters? For example I tweak the cutoff, and it affects all 4 layers or whichever I select. Having to copy and paste every single tweak across 4 pages for a 4 layer patch with one filter type is about as unintuitive as it gets.

How about this: If I hold ctrl, alt, or some other key and click one of the layers, it highlights both and the parameters are linked.

Alternatively, hold ctrl, alt, etc, and tweak a knob, it tweaks that parameter on whichever layers I have selected.

For example I tweak the cutoff, and it affects all 4 layers or whichever I select.

As I understand, you can't. Well, you can use a global filter though, but it cannot be routed to the filter envelope.

But you can route all the main filters to a single filter envelope (i managed to route them to the Mod envelopes only via modulation matrix)

And yes, linked cutoff would be handy, but if check the thread you'll see that someone mentioned that is's technically impossible.

Just because it's additive and has a similar colour scheme doesn't mean it was derived from Razor. It's more like an additive re-imagination of Albino imo.

Agreed - like a single layer of Albino 3. I own a Razor license (and Komplete) and also licenses for Alpha, Morphox, Albino 3, CRX4, and RMV. Spectral felt like a LinPlug synth to me immediately. I like the editing and interface for Spectral and plan to buy a license when it is released. I have spent perhaps five hours with the Spectral beta so far and done many little experiments and made a few presets that I like. I am a slow and particular synth programmer (hobby only) and will probably not try to send in presets for the contest.

I havent really been paying attention to this one, but I heard some absolutely RIPPIN patches from this thing last night. I will be checking it out for sure.

It does look and sound a bit Razor, but thats to be expected, and not a bad thing imo.

[Nightpolymath]

Finally had a chance to play around with the beta. Can't say I have ever come across a plugin that lets me draw my own funky-looking filters. The few patches I heard are very, very nice. The interface design is vintage Linplug, so I couldn't care less if it looks similar to Razor. They've got a winner here - this one is deep! It takes the best features of MorphoX, CrX4, and even Octopus and combines them in one plugin.

Any chance that this can be configured as an effects insert as well?

[Ingonator]

Spectral is a great new synth indeed and that filter draw feature is indeed a very unique and awesome one.

The only synth that has something comparable seems to be Tone2 Rayblaster which does "extract" a flter response from any waveform you load into it (even if the waveform was done without using a filter...).

You've also got a similar concept in Metasynth. A very different animal otherwise, of course.

[Nightpolymath]

I just remembered that Harmor has a filter drawing feature as well.

Once saw Cthulu use Spectral to beat up an i7 real bad.
True story.

Looks like pricing is up, with the intro discount:
The license fee is 149 US$ / 119 Euro

99 US$ / 79 Euro (Special Price until 31st December 2013)

[Gosh]

that price is more than fair i would say. hope they make it for the planned release date (november 25th). i have my money ready and a big and to peter

[DJMashbot]

Totally worth it for $99. This thing is a beast.
