Click-free reverbs, slot selection, in-app help, and a metering overhaul
Spectrus 1.3.1 is a quality-and-polish release. The headline: all 10 reverbs are now click-free when you sweep knobs or re-roll the tail with Randomize/Morph. New slot selection lets you send a single-effect preset to one slot. An in-app Quick Start overlay explains the workflow, and the signal-flow strip and Master VU got a metering overhaul. Plus, a new Knee control and gain-reduction meters on the Ducker, a modulation waveform selector on Plate Reverb, and exact copy-and-paste reverb seeds.
7 effects free forever. Unlock all 23 with Pro.
Stutterus (Pro).
Cloud Reverb (Pro).
Quick Tip: Building a multi-effect chain across the 4 slots.
Load a preset -- it drops into Slot 1. Click the lock icon (the slot border turns orange), then load another preset and it fills Slot 2. Repeat to stack up to 4 effects.
Load into one slot -- click a slot's box in the flow strip to select it (it gets a colored border); the next preset you browse or step to loads into that slot only.
Random Mix (the shuffle / crossed-arrows button) randomizes every unlocked slot at once -- so lock the parts you like and keep shuffling the rest.
Drag the dashed strip under the effect animation to reorder slots, or right-click it to copy/paste an effect into another slot.
I'm giving this 4 out of 5.
The FX possibilities are very strong. With 24 effects available and flexible dry/wet mixing options, there's a lot of creative potential to explore. I'm holding back one star as there are still a few areas that could benefit from some additional polish, such as minor window resizing quirks and certain aspects of FX usability and overall user experience.
That said, I believe Spectrus is absolutely worth every cent and is on a very promising path. The combination of reverbs, echo, and delay is outstanding and can easily stand alongside other high-quality reverb plugins. The textures created with the stutter and granular effects are especially unique.
I really appreciate this tool and am glad to see such a great addition to the Linux community. I'm using Spectrus on a Debian-based system.
