Der Versteinerte Wald, ein weltweit bekanntes
und bestauntes Naturdenkmal in Chemnitz.
In zweijähriger Arbeit entstand das Album 'Petrified Forest',
meine Hymne an das steinerne Weltwunder.

Im Januar 2017 wurde das Album erstmaligvor den Versteinerten Bäumen in Chemnitzlive aufgeführt.

Es folgten Konzerte in der St.Laurentius Kirche Leipzig,
in der Nazarethkirche in München und im Planetarium Münster.

An weiteren außergewöhnlichen Orten wurde "Petrified Forest" aufwändig inszeniert, im Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte in Halle (Saale),
in der Maschinenhalle der Zeche Westfalen
und im Völkerschlachtdenkmal zu Leipzig.

Mit dem Abschlusskonzert in der St.Markuskirche Chemnitz,
schließt sich für mich der Kreis.

Die Petrified Forest Tour endet in meiner Heimatstadt.

The Petrified Forest, a world-famous
and admired Natural monument in Chemnitz.
The album 'Petrified Forest' was created in two years of work,
my hymn to the stone wonder of the world.

In January 2017 the album was performed live for the first time in front of the Petrified Trees in Chemnitz.

Concerts followed in the St. Laurentius Church in Leipzig,
in the Nazareth Church in Munich and in the Planetarium in Münster.

"Petrified Forest" was elaborately staged at other unusual locations, in the State Museum of Prehistory in Halle (Saale),
in the machine hall of the Westfalen colliery
and in the Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig.

With the final concert in the St. Mark's Church in Chemnitz,
the circle closes for me.

The Petrified Forest Tour ends in my hometown.

Winterdawn | MIDERA - Downtempo electronic track featuring Spectralis, Virus TI, and Machinedrum


video upload by MIDERA

"Decided to try out the sequencer mode on the Virus and use more than one part. It was fun to use it more fully than just a single part. Enjoy.

Spectralis 2 Tutorial: Turn any digital poly synth into a paraphonic hybrid analog synth.


video upload by MIDERA

"Do you have a Spectralis 1 or 2 (they are identical for this tutorial)?
Do you have a polyphonic synth that you'd like to do something new with?
With a Spectralis, you can use it's internal filters to create a paraphonic hybrid synthesizer by sending the external audio inputs into the Spectralis. Here I'm bringing the Access Virus TI Polar into the Spectralis 2 and processing it with the analog (and digital) filters. The Virus is using a very basic initialized patch that you will hear at one point during the video.

Now, WHY would you want to do this? Simple. Let's say you have a digital synth with no analog filters and want to give it new punch. What if you WANT to have a 'paraphonic-like' sound? This is one way to achieve that. Perhaps, for no other reason than to do it, because it sounds good. Mixed with the internal oscillators, it sounds a lot like my Yamaha SK30. You can do so many things - why would you not want to try this if you have a Spectralis?

I say that this is creating a paraphonic 'hybrid' analog synth - but if you use an analog synthesizer going into this, I guess it would no longer be hybrid, it would be a fully analog paraphonic synth. I don't think it matters either way.

Is it paraphonic in the first place? I don't want to get into this debate. Frankly because I don't care about full or partial articulations. To me, it just means multiple voices that go through a single filter and VCA. That's all I mean.

This requires you to have your synthesizer with Local ON, on the same MIDI channel (1) as the internal part you are using.

I think you could do something similar with the Elektron Analog Heat. BUT - I think the Spectralis does a lot more, because you can sequence the sounds you are creating, you can add internal oscillators, you can FM the filters using the oscillators, and a LOT more. It may seem complex, but it's feasible to do and hopefully this video helps guide you on how to approach that.

Given that the Spectralis 1 and 2 seem to go for around $800-$1200 (in 2022), and all that it does - it's really worth it's price. This does mean it's twice as much money as an Analog Heat (which probably does other things really well - I've never used it and fully understand why you'd go for that instead of the Spectralis - BUT if you already have a Spectralis, this is a great way to experiment with it. Furthermore, I found using this setup to sound VERY similar to my Moog Matriarch. You've got multiple filters, that can be panned and modulated in a ton of ways. I'm not saying Spectralis + another synth = Moog Matriarch, they're different. BUT the sound seemed very similar to me, with the paraphonic aspects.

I fumbled around a bit - because I had to learn things on the way as well, which goes to show that even after owning this thing, I'm still not a true master of using it."

Spectralis 2 walkthrough: Listening to the oscillators through the fixed filterbank and LPF


video upload by MIDERA

"In this video, I go through the Spectralis 2 digital oscillators and send them through the fixed filterbank (digital) and then through the 24db LP filter so you can hear how it sounds. I attempted to showcase what it sounds like so you can hear the monosynth engine doing its thing. There are no FX applied. Everything you hear is from the synthesizer (as well as my voice, obviously).

I really only use the saw waves, so if you were hoping for more - let me know what you'd like to hear and in what way you'd like it presented."

Spectralis as an advanced FX unit (Tutorial)


video upload by MIDERA

"What you hear at the beginning is what I end up doing towards the end of the video - I'll set a timestamp for that at some point.

In my first edition of this video, my camera turned off due to a 'full disk' and I had to start over after recording 22 minutes. I was told during my previous video to just go fast and skip the Spectralis 101 type stuff.
My apologies on going slow to explain things. Sometimes my brain doesn't remember words and there's a lot to talk about.

So just a few notes to keep clear:
There are 3 different filters in the Spectralis.
1) 24db LP filter
2) 12db MM filter (includes a LP, HP, and BP filter)
3) Fixed Filterbank (FF)

External input sounds can be routed to ANY of these, and in almost any order. Theoretically, you can send a sound into the LP filter through to the FF and send it back to the LP. You'll just get feedback, obviously, but it can be done.

Hope this is of interest.

"Radical Frequencies psy tech analog jam :
the bass is a Dpvco saw and a sub oscillator waveform passing through the SH Vcf .
And the Scota Vcf in self oscillation mode and cross fm through the RF mixer makes those fm bleeps . The kick is an analog 808 clone

Spectralis Walkthrough Part 1 - Navigate oscillator routing and some basic sequencing


video upload by MIDERA

"I haven't made a Spectralis walkthrough or tutorial in a long time so I tried to make a more in-depth walkthrough of the Spectralis I and II oscillator routing and structure. Hopefully this is something you can go along with and learn some things as I walk through this. I realize I fumble around quite a bit, but some of the things in the Spectralis I just never use so I haven't put much effort into learning. Please set your bar low for quality of my video - I'm not loopop and don't have the time to produce better videos. Sorry for that.

Where I think this will help is for someone wanting to learn how to route the digital VCO's into different filters.

I go through the basic overview of the Spectralis, then demonstrate activating the oscillators, how to route them, how to modulate them, and how to sequence them. At the end, I also go into routing external gear into the analog filters as well, although I wasn't intending to do that during this video.

My apologies for the video quality. I chose to use my iPhone to see how it would work and I was absolutely disappointed with how it turned out, from a shaky screen to low resolution to the inability to use the video without converting it first (and finding that conversion of the video slightly changed the speed of it too, making it difficult to sync with audio).

Hopefully you find this useful. But if not. That's ok too.

Spectralis 2 demo


video upload by MIDERA

"Everything from the Spectralis - Half of the drums were fed into the 12db LP filter and an oscillator was used to frequency modulate the filter, creating a ring-mod sort of sound that could be sequenced to different pitch.

Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb. There was only a single pass done, so everything you hear is from the SUM output."

Fatal Error | IDM track featuring Spectralis 2, Virus TI, Machinedrum Juno 6


video upload by MIDERA

"I had been making all sorts of cool music on my newly acquired Squarp Pyramid... but then it gave me 'Fatal Error' and I lost the entire track I had been writing. Sounded lovely, I think. Well, now it's gone and I'm nervous I bought a (used) machine that is faulty. :/ Sigh..........."
