The New Make Noise SoundHack Spectraphon - The Deep Dive Review
video upload by Perfect Circuit
"The Make Noise x SoundHack Spectraphon is a dual spectral oscillator for Eurorack modular synthesizers. At first glance, it might look somewhat like a classic "complex oscillator" in the style of Buchla's 259 or Make Noise's own DPO—but there's much more to it than that. To make a long story short, it offers a new and novel approach to sound design that we haven't quite seen in Eurorack before.
Rather than relying on wavefolding, Spectraphon is all about additive synthesis and resynthesis: you can think of it as an oscillator whose timbre is driven by external sound sources. Inspired by the Buchla 296 Programmable Spectral Processor and Touché hybrid keyboard synthesizer, it presents a new and novel take on sound generation and processing.
As a live processor, Spectraphon can be like a vocoder, a resonator, a pseudo-spectral freeze; as an oscillator, it creates a wide range of evolving tones based on stored analyses of external sounds. It's a dense module—so in this video, we dive into how it works and how it sounds.
