Jorg Schaaf has been busy in the last few months giving what was originally called the Spectron (see Messe story), a full-on button & knob makeover to create the all new Spectralis.
For those who like to know this sort of thing, Jorg used to be one of the main designer boffins over at Quasimidi before it sadly departed this world.
The new Spectralis is made by Radikal Technologies - who also ,make SAC controllers for DAWs and post production.
The Spectralis Synth provides the advantages of analog, subtractive Synthesis together with modern DSP based Sound Generation as well
as a pattern based Sequencer which features traditional Sequencing via realtime Input, as well as Drum-Grid Programming and Step sequencing.
Using the Stepsequencer and the Filterbank together makes it possible to create previously unheard dynamic sound progressions, which exceed by far what can normally be expected from a subtractive
Synthesizer. The Analog Filtering Technique truly
shows off its enormous advantages compared to DSP based Systems.
The Analog Synth was designed with possibilities offered by Modular Synthesisers in mind. The advantages of the Spectralis compared to pure modular systems however are its much more extensive control functions and the ability to fully store all selected routings. The Spectralis also provides everything one would expect from an
Analog Synthesizer:
Oscillator Synchronisation,
Frequency-Modulation of Filters and Oscillators,
Ring-Modulation, PWM, fat 24 dB Ladder Filter
Effects, Feedback, Crossmodulation and so on.
All
of these features of the Analogsynth by themselves
would justify the purchase of this ingenious Hybrid
Instrument.
The Spectralis will ship around March/April at a list price of $2500 +/-
