Jamuary #19 - Track from scratch on the Spectralis
TheTechnobear
"Today's Jam is on the Radical Technologies Spectralis, a rare beast, yet one of the most powerful gooveboxes ever made.
I have to admit I dont use the Spectralis that often these days (though that could change after today) ... so really I just wanted to refamiliarise myself it ... as Id forgotten alot.
Then I realised its likely few have seen the Spectralis in action - so decided to do a kind of walkthrough to show it in action.
This is 100% Spectralis, all done on the fly.
the only thing Id prepared was which have some sounds loaded into each part (aka track).... even that I got wrong on last part ;)
So its a warts n' all , so forgive my 'rustiness'.
Coming back to the Spectralis I was struck by a few things:
The sound is fantastic, Id forgotten how good it was.
It has a reputation for complexity, and there is no denying that... but still I was surprised how quickly I got back into it.
As Ive not been using the Spectalis, I have been considering selling it... but have to say a few hours with it has reignitied my passion for it.
There is so much more it can do that I didnt even touch on today.
So, I think I need to put it somewhere where I can use it more again!"

Keeley Hydra pedal on synth - Prophet Rev2
Richard DeHove
"The Hydra tremolo and reverb combo pedal tested on a Rev2 synth. Not an exhaustive tutorial but more a taster of the three modulation modes and three reverbs. I bought this pedal myself at full price, so not a paid review or an affiliate. The Rev2 was set to about half volume, straight into the soundcard and then into Reaper. There was absolutely no post-processing of the sound in anyway - no compression, no eq."
This is what it sounds like when you control half your modular with Mutable Instruments Tides...
Cables For Clouds
"This is a leftover synth jam recorded on 09.22.2020
I sent Tides into 3 filters, Plaits, Rings, Elements and a delay.
I fed the reverb into a VCA/ envelope (which ends up sounding like a wall of white noise)

"Design matched Sequential OB-6, but works for Prophet 6 and can be used for other MIDI synths too.
Display works perfectly but was hard to photograph without looking weird. It looks the way it should in person."
