Looks like an Albino vs Dune crossing. Interesting.

I posted the following in the Linplug forum yesterday had not received a response yet. Thought I would post it here for better visibility in hopes of getting a response.
I have been playing around with Spectral for a while and I like what I hear. Whenever I sit down with a new synth I use an already familiar synth to help me get my bearings. In this case I am using Zebra.
**Before I go further it's very important for me to make clear that I am not comparing the sound quality of the two.**
For those that may be familiar with both synths, you may be able to help me understand the concept of the Osc/filter section. In my thinking the filter in Spectral is somewhat similar in function (not how it functions) to the OscFX section in the oscillators in Zebra. In my thinking the difference is that the Zebra OscFx selection is a list of presets and the user is able to adjust the depth of that fx that "spectrally" filters the Osc and modulate that depth. In Spectral you can draw the filter that is used to "spectrally" filter the ooscillator and there is greater control over the different aspects of that type of filter including various modulations.
I know the two synths are very different in a lot of different aspects. But am I barking up the right tree with this analogy?

I think Zebra's OscFx are not comparable to Spectral's drawable filter responses, instead they re-interpret the waveform and/or partial structure according to rules that are far more general than just cutting and boosting certain partials (like e.g. the Odd For Even OscFX does).
Some OscFx like SyncMojo or Fractal lead to results that are not achievable by filtering.
I'd rather compare the Spectral filter to a big time-variant filter bank.

although the inscription in the linplug shop still says "coming soon" the purchase link now works, so... it is available now (too sad that i'm still at work but first thing i'll do when i arrive home is to purchase this fine synth).
cheers

If you own an Albino license, you should have received an upgrade offer that just can't be refused. 
Talk about no-brainer!
Thank you, Linplug!

Neither could I. Has anyone been able to download it, yet, though?

That's a very cool offer from a nice developer. That's how to treat customers! Well done LinPlugSpitfire31 wrote:If you own an Albino license, you should have received an upgrade offer that just can't be refused.

Yep, downloaded and installed to my desktop and laptop, all running fine.baconpriest wrote:Neither could I. Has anyone been able to download it, yet, though?
The GUI is too big for the laptop though (1366x720)

I've just received the LinPlug newsletter "LinPlug releases the Spectral Synthesizer" minutes ago.
Dear friends of LinPlug,
After 15 month of development, the LinPlug Spectral for Mac and PC is available!

I couldn't refuse either.EvilDragon wrote:I couldn't refuse.
Such a sweet and beautiful sound. It is so dynamic and alive. Kinda reminds me of the great sound octopus has. I also can't believe how punchy it is. My speakers are just moving and popping with sound, its amazing how some of those arps are very snappy and 3D like.
