Moog SPECTRAVOX - Part 1 - The Synth Within It?

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"Without reading the user manual, I hooked up the Moog Spectravox to the Moog Messenger (cv, gate and clock) to see what can I get.
The result speaks for itself, but I'll comeback for more, since I know it can do a lot more!"

"And please, lower your volume, Spectravox has a tremendous output! Any distortions you hear is because the recording looks like a brick! (I had the audio monitor lowered and everything seemed fine, until I saw the recording...)"

MOOG Messenger Sequencer, Arppegiator, & Spectravox Feedback

video uploads by Moog Music

Playlist:

1. Messenger | Sequencer Functionality

Messenger features a deep generative sequencer with functionality inspired by Muse. With features like Note Pool paired with Note Probability, Gate probability, and the ability to store a unique sequence per-patch, Messenger’s sequencer provides an intuitive way to build up complex melodic sequences that can spin off into new permutations at the touch of a button.

2. Messenger | Arppegiator Functionality

Messenger features an extremely flexible arpeggiator with functionality inspired by the arp found in Muse. With the ability to chose both traditional or newer advanced note movement patterns, program rhythms, and the option to store a unique arp style per-patch, Messenger’s arpeggiator is a powerful tool for music composition and developing new song ideas.

3. Messenger | Spectravox Feedback

In this video we look at how to use Spectravox and Messenger together to create feedback tones verging on the edge of destruction.

Spectravox is a flexible signal processor which adds lots of sonic character to any signal we patch into it. Using a basic sound from Messenger we can add distortion and saturation using Spectravox's pre-amp section as well as deep modulated phaser tones with its ten filters. Messenger's control voltage output allows us to control parameters of Spectravox (in this case the Spectral Shift LFO rate) using Messenger's keyboard. Later, we look at tying Spectravox and Messenger together in a feedback loop - patching the headphone output of Messenger to the Program input of Spectravox, the Program output of Spectravox to its Carrier Input, and then the output of Spectravox to the External Input of Messenger. With careful balance of the EXT IN/FB control and various parameters on both Spectravox and Messenger, a whole new world of gnarly and nonlinear feedback tones opens up.

Moog Sound Studio Accessory Kit | Assembly

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we explore everything that comes in the Moog Sound Studio Accessory Kit and assemble a three-tier system.

We begin by selecting three units for a system – in this video we use DFAM, Labyrinth, and Spectravox. We look at how to attach each unit to the rack ears, how to attach the crossbar for stability, and how to attach the patch cable organizer to the top unit. Next, we dive into the summing mixer and power distributor and show how to route audio and power throughout the three-tier system. Finally, we have a jam."

Spectravox and Subharmonicon | Non-Standard Filter Bank Modulation

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we combine Subharmonicon and Spectravox together to get fascinating and unorthodox spectral modulation.

We begin by creating a sequence using Subharmonicon’s dual sequencer, polyrhythmic movement, and VCO 1. We then send VCO 1 to Spectravox’s carrier input to shape that VCO using Spectravox’s ten filters. Turning the levels of all but filter one on Spectravox down give us a traditional lowpass filter subtractive synthesis architecture, and an envelope set to SHIFT will open that lowpass filter. Subhamonicon’s two envelopes and Spectravox’s single envelope can be used to create dynamic movement in our filter bank, but more unorthodox modulation can be achieved using Subharmonicon’s four sub-oscillators. These sub-oscillators are not syncronized with our sequencer movement, giving rise to interesting interference patterns in our resulting spectrum."

"Reach for the Light" by Lisa Bella Donna | Moog Muse and "Mothership" Modular Mother-32 System

video upload by Moog Music

"Step into this fully immersive performance from master synthesist ‪@LisaBellaDonnaMusic‬, blending sounds from the Moog Muse with her expansive “Mothership” modular system. In “Reach for the Light,” Lisa translates themes of challenge, change, and transformation into sound—weaving live sequences, modulation, and cosmic textures into this inspiring piece of music.

From Lisa:

'Reach for the Light' is a piece that I hope will inspire you to be creative in times of challenge and change. This was performed live on the Moog Muse and my “Mothership” while modulating the piece manually with a Moog Mother-32 bass sequence and percussion provided by a DFAM and Spectravox. The Spectravox is being triggered by a series of selected gates and envelopes. A series of other Mother-32 modules ornament the piece with contrapuntal stereo sequences and celestial FX. The Mother-32s also provide a wealth of voltage skew and attenuation to bring life and realism to envelopes, filters, and amplifiers of other components within the system.

Live effects include a Hologram Microcosm and studio effects include a Moog Delay, ClusterFlux Chorus, Moog Phaser, and Valhalla Reverb plugins.

Stay creative everyone!

Spectravox and DFAM | Advanced Physical Modeling

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we explore the principles of physical modeling synthesis using DFAM and Spectravox.

We begin with a summary of physical modeling synthesis. Physical modeling models an excitation signal (the isolated sound of a finger hitting a drum head, a pick plucking a guitar sting, a bow bowing a cello string) and a resonating body (a drum, a wooden block, a string coupled with a wooden body, etc.). Excitation signals are usually very short sounds full of harmonics and noise – we use DFAM to sculpt a broadband signal with lots of internal dynamics using DFAM’s three envelopes. Spectravox’s ten resonant filters with individual level control are then used to model a resonating body. DFAM’s velocity sequencer further allows us to create a sequence with harder or softer drum hits, while its pitch sequencer can move Spectravox’s filters via the SHIFT input for fascinating tonal changes."

Labyrinth and Subharmonicon | Tangled Transpositions

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video we tie Labyrinth and Subharmonicon’s sequencers together for tangled transpositional movement.

We begin by mixing the VCA outputs of each instrument using Labyrinth’s utility mixer. We then show how to quantize Subharmonicon’s two sequencers to generate sequences of octaves and then add those sequences to Labyrinth’s two sequencers to generate polyrhythmic octave transpositions. Labyrinth’s voice is sequenced by Labyrinth SEQ 1 and transposed by Subharmonicon SEQ 2 while Subharmonicon’s voice is sequenced by Labyrinth SEQ 2 and transposed by Subharmoncon SEQ 1. With Labyrinth’s quantizer set to Hirajoshi pentatonic scaling octave transpositions from Subharmonicon work well regardless of western tonality. Using more traditional western scales from Labyrinth we can set the steps of Subharmonicon to values other than octaves (e.g. perfect fourths/fifths) provided we stay in key."

Moog Spectravox // Vocoding will be the last thing I do with it

"The Moog Spectravox is so much more than a vocoder. Once you get to grips with it you start to get the feeling that vocoding is almost an after thought - it's almost a byproduct of having 2 filter banks in a single unit."

Moog Spectravox: Modular Patches & Ideas. Vocoder Synth Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Modular Voices is a soundset for the semi-modular synth and analog processor Moog Spectravox.
It is a collection of 50 presets: 24 Synths, 13 Plucks, 6 Percs, 7 Drones.
There is a wide range of timbres inside the pack: simple and complex, dark and bright, vintage and modern, noisy/distorted and soft, musical and experimental, harmonic and inharmonic.

Some patches are in 'synth mode' and can be played with a keyboard, while others are in 'processing mode' — they process incoming audio and modulate it. Some patches combine the two modes: they process audio and can also be played with a keyboard.

📗 Get the soundset: https://bit.ly/4d7XUHW

Synths and plucks are excellent for use with arpeggiators or sequencers. Drones produce dark, distorted tones with heavy modulations, FM, noise, etc. They can be used as pads in genres like techno, industrial, or ambient to create a certain inharmonic atmosphere. Perc patches are perfect if you are looking for unusual and unique rhythmic additions to your performance or track.

Tones using external audio require playing a sample attached to the patch. You will find all samples with the patch name, as well as its role (PROGRAM or CARRIER), in the Audio Content folder. Load the samples into your workstation, set up Spectravox according to the image, and play the sample(s). Adjust the PROGRAM GAIN LEVEL yourself. It may not match the image if you have changed the sample's volume level. PROGRAM GAIN LEVEL can affect the tone, for example, causing distortion at high values, as well as the envelope of the entire patch if PROG TRIG - EG is used.

In most cases, I use synthesized chords for CARRIER and rhythmic sounds for PROGRAM. Be sure to try using your unique content. For CARRIER, you can create a sequence of chords or pads using a VST synthesizer. For PROGRAM, you can use vocal samples. There are many options.

For tones in the PLUCK and SYNTH categories, I usually use external arpeggiators or sequencers. This allows you to keep your hands free to work with the synthesizer parameters.

The patches are suitable for many genres: Techno, Ambient, House, Deep, Progressive, Trance, Minimal, IDM, Downtempo, Synthwave, Retrowave, Electronica, Dark/Noise, Industrial, Breakbeat, Drum and Bass, and others.

The soundset is presented in the form of PDF-Document. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn a lot about the synth and discover its true depth.

Each patch has an audio example, it helps to understand how the timbre is supposed to sound.

To recreate these patches, you will need up to 8 patch cables. You will also need a stackable cable or a splitter/multiplier. The document includes detailed information about using an external keyboard with CV/Gate outputs.

Moog Spectravox is a versatile device that can be used in various ways:
- It can generate a complete signal without additional devices and audio input.
- It can produce musical tones that can be played from a keyboard or used with external sequencers and DAWs.
- It can process external audio signals, passing them through the Filter Bank and modulations.
- It can operate in Vocoder mode.
- It also supports combinations of these different scenarios. For example, using the Vocoder with an external audio signal, plus playing notes from a keyboard or sequencer.

All of this requires connecting various sources to Spectravox. In the PDF document, I will detail the routing scenarios I used. You can either fully replicate them or use them as a starting point for your own scenarios."

Hellmouth Moog Spectravox and Strymon Starlab Horror Drone

video upload by riotbell

"I wasn't sure what to expect from the Spectravox. I never thought it would turn out to be one of the meanest drone synths I've ever encountered. It's one oscillator but somehow the resonance compensation plus the spectral shift can just sound ferocious.

This is basically the Spectravox running through the Rossum Morbius filter into Qu-Bit Nautilus with reverb via the Strymon Starlab.

I feel like I'm a little at odds with some of these uploads. Some people really seem to like the drone content, others not so much. It's definitely darker than a lot of the gentler ambient stuff that gets posted. But I've decided to just post what I've working on hoping there are people who'll find it interesting.

Thanks for listening!"

Moog Spectravox Oscillator Sound Demo

video upload by riotbell

"This is a simple sound demo that examines the Spectravox as an individual voice, focusing on the two VCO wave shapes and how they interact with the filter. The Spectravox is played via KB CV, CV OUT and Gate Out via the Matriarch (tutorial video by Moog below).

There's no vocoding or processing of external sounds going on here. Just the Spectravox "speaking for itself"--if that doesn't sound to corny.

I was really shocked at just how massive the pulse wave can sound in isolation for a single VCO. Likewise, it appears the Spectravox is one of the very few Moog semi-modular synths that features some sort of resonance compensation, because the bass doesn't completely drop out when cranked.

Because there's no full onboard ADSR (only decay), I still think the Spectravox functions better as an accompanying drone voice. But it's cool to hear it on its own.

Thanks for listening!"
