An  analog spectral processor based around a 10-band filter bank, Spectravox  creates lively drones and colorful tonal sweeps on its own and adds resonant  depth and psychedelic spectral movement to any external sound. Hook up a  microphone and Spectravox becomes a 10-band analog vocoder with innovative  integrated modulation of all of its filters. An exploration and expansion of  the topology of the vocoder and filter bank, Spectravox is a highly flexible  instrument and signal processor with a comprehensive patch bay for integration  into studios of all sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSynthesists have delighted in  playing with the spectrum of sound since the Moog 907 Fixed Filter Bank  appeared in the 1960s, creating lush vowel tones and multicolored timbral  animation with hands-on level control of each frequency band of a sound. Unlike  earlier fixed filter banks, however, the unique filters of Spectravox are no  longer fixed in place and will jointly shift around the frequency space,  allowing for the creation of otherworldly voltage-controlled spectral animation  and vibrant phaser-like sweeps. With 10 filters whose variable resonance can  morph from soft precision to shimmering choral effects, Spectravox reshapes the  sounds you love into surprising new forms and brings a new world of sonic  possibilities to your studio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpectravox is a fascinating  standalone sculptable synthesizer voice thanks to its built-in carrier sound  source of a thick analog Moog oscillator and white noise generator. With its  combo XLR\/jack program input, Spectravox becomes a fully featured 10-band  vocoder with a secondary filter bank for analyzing the spectral makeup of  incoming sounds. In VOCODER mode its 10 analysis filters map the timbral  characteristics of any external sound onto any other sound you can imagine.  Shape the warm analog oscillator of Spectravox with the dynamics of your voice,  or use a drum machine to animate guitar chords in a mesmerizing broadband  percussive space. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpectravox uses the pioneering  vocoding work of Bob Moog and Wendy Carlos in the late 1960s as its  inspiration—work which was based on Homer Dudley's original designs from the  1930s and which was used to prominent effect in Stanley Kubrick's 1972 film A Clockwork Orange. Innovating  further from these early designs, Spectravox uses 10 state-variable filters for  its filter bank, all 10 of which are capable of being shifted with its internal  triangle wave LFO or external control voltage. With the ability to emphasize  vowel sounds via the Hiss and Buzz functionality of the Moog 16 Channel  Vocoder, Spectravox is both a major step forward for analog filter banks and a  loving exploration of early music technology history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eScramble the frequency spectrum  and create wonderfully unpredictable textures with patch points for each filter  in the filter bank and included patch cables. Add analog warmth and subtle  phasing to digital synthesizers and sound sources. Integrate Spectravox with  other Moog semi-modular instruments or Eurorack modules with an extensive patch  bay providing control over almost all of its parameters. Spectravox is a  boundary-pushing instrument that invites you to explore creative new ways of  shaping and sculpting sound.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAnalog Sound Engine\u003c\/strong\u003e         \u003cul\u003e           \u003cli\u003eSound Source: VCO, White Noise Generator\u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eFilter: 10x variable resonance voltage-controlled filters including 1 Low-Pass Filter, 8 Bandpass Filters, and 1 High-pass Filter\u003c\/li\u003e             \u003cli\u003eEnvelope: VCA EG (Decay)\u003c\/li\u003e       \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAnalysis Engine Sources\u003c\/strong\u003e         \u003cul\u003e             \u003cli\u003eSources: External Input via 1\/4\" \/ XLR combo jack or 3.5mm jack with preamplifier.
