Spectralis 2 is the even more powerful successor of Radikals sophisticated Hybrid Synthesizer...

Introduction

Spectralis 2 is the even more powerful successor of Radikals sophisticated Hybrid Synthesizer. With up to 4 GB sample memory and tons of new features Radikal raises the bar again for our competition. Never stop the sequencer engine again with our fully redesigned sequencer engine that allows for on the fly realtime sequencing. Quick Sound Selection for every part - your most favorite sounds are just one fingertip away. Transpose your patterns and step sequences with the attached keyboard. There is only one thing, we left untouched in our new design - the sound engine. Still the warmest and richest sound out there with the power of a modular synthesizer in a box.

The Hybrid Synth

The Spectralis 2 hybrid synth, fueled by the latest DSP- and true analog technology, delivers maximum tonal capabilities and leads you into a radical new world of sounds full of life and animation. The Spectralis 2 oscillator section takes sound design to new extremes. The 4 oscillators offer continuously variable waveshapes plus time linearity modulation, FM, PM, oscillator synchronisation, bit reduction and independent pitch and volume envelopes. The self resonating filters, a 4 pole lowpass and a 2 pole multimode filter with LP, HP, BP and notch outputs, use two highly improved true analog circuit designs to overcome the restrictions of modelling based synths. The way players can interact with the destinc-tive user interface makes the Spectralis 2 hybrid synthesizer a killer live instrument with unbeatable richness and stunning flexibility. The synthesis engine takes advantage of a sophisticated step sequencing system - 32 independent parameter control lines with up to 192 steps let you explore an universe of previously unheard rhythmic effects and atmospheric textures. Punchy high resolution envelopes, are the cutting edge of todays synthesizer technology. They are the perfect weapon for the creation of floor pounding kicks, state of the art sequencer staccatos and numerous percussion effects.

The Fixed Filterbank

Rumbling noises, nasal sounding oboes, booming SciFi-drones and vocaloid solo-voices - all these different sounds have one thing in common - the fixed filterbank. Consisting of 8 bandpasses, one lowpass and one highpass filter, the filterbank allows the selective modification of certain frequencies. The spectrum of the sound is divided into separated frequency bands where each resulting spectrum slice has an individual attentuator. Like the instrument corpus forms the frequency response of an acoustic instrument, the fixed filter bank provides a new approach in the creation of realistic instrument timbres and bizarre FX-sounds. In contrast to big modular systems of the past, where the filterbank had fixed filter response curves and simple pots to regulate the levels of the frequency slices, the Spectralis 2 comes with sequencer controlled level modulation and in depth parameter editing like individual frequency band panning, Q and roll off slope control and filter stage spacing. The usage of the fixed filterbank is not limited to hybridsynth voices - simply feed any DSP synth part thru the filterbank or even any external signals from the external analog inputs. The Spectralis 2 step sequencer comes with step envelopes, where normal step-sequencers only offer a fixed value setting per step. In conjunction with the filterbank, these step envelopes allow for instance the creation of a new drum beat by simply feeding noise into the filterbank and programming some decay steps for selected frequency slices.

The Sampling Section

In contrast to many other groove oriented sampling instruments, the Spectralis 2 offers real multisampling and a 32 stereo voice polyphonic sound engine with powerful subtractive synthesis capabilities. Lush strings ensembles, dramatic soundscapes or earthshaking drum grooves - simply drag and drop the highlights of your personal soundlibrary from your computer onto the Spectralis 2. The highspeed USB2 interface transfers even large sample instruments in a few seconds. An included sample conversion utility allows importing wav- and soundfont2-files. After finalizing your music production, the entire song content with patterns, sounds and samples can be stored back to the computers harddrive. Satisfied with the backup functionality but still wondering about the LIVE situation? Do not worry about that! The Spectralis 2 comes with a SD-Card slot and has an onboard 1GB flash memory (expandable up to 2GB) for permanent storage of samples, songs and sounds. Features are only one side of the story - but realizing them with the latest Texas Instruments floating point DSP generation and featuring HiEnd Burr Brown DA converters gives the Spectralis 2 the no compromise touch of a groundbreaking new star in the sonic wonderland of electronic music instruments.

The Sequencing System

As a groove oriented system the Spectralis 2 features a powerful pattern based sequencer playground with realtime and step by step recording as well as grid based drum programming. Additionally, the state of the art step sequencer opens a complete new universe of tempo dependent sound manipulations and freaky polyrhythmic sequencer battles. Designed with the live situation in mind, you will enjoy the absolute freedom of realtime manipulations during your session. Mute/unmute tracks, exchange the motifs on the fly, tweak volumes, panning or FX-sends with the built in mixing console or transpose an entire pattern by simply pressing a note on your keyboard. Editing of sequences can be done without stopping the sequencer - one of the most desirable features in todays groove oriented live instruments. Start your session with a simple basic groove and add steps on the fly until the audience is totally freaked out. Are you into more serious music production? Well, the Spectralis 2 also comes with a song section, where you can arrange the patterns to complete songs.

Hybrid synth - oscillator section

4 free running oscillators with continuously variable wave shapes,time linearity modulation, audio range frequency modulation, phase modulation, oscillator synchronisation, ring modulation, bitreduction and independent pitch and volume envelopes. Alternativly the oscillators can be started with a predetermined startphase. The glide effect is adjustable for each of the 4 oscillators separately. Each oscillator can be routed thru the various filter sections with individual level control.

Hybrid synth - analog filter section

2 real analog filters
- 24dB resonating lowpass with self oscillation
- 12dB resonating multimode filter with lowpass, highpass, bandpass and notch outputs and self oscillation. Both filters can be audio range frequency modulated by the oscillator section, external signals or DSP-synth parts. The filters can be operated in parallel or serial Mode. Of course they each have their independent envelopes for frequency and level control.

Fixed filterbank

The fixed-filterbank consists of 8 bandpass filters, one highpass and one lowpass filter. The roll off slope of the bandpass filters can be set from 6dB octave to max. 40dB/octave by adding resonance. The adjustable spacing of the individual filter stages and the Q factor adjustment allow for an almost infinite number of completely different filter characteristics.

Step sequencer section

32 independent parameter control lines with up to 192 steps. Each line has separate settings for direction, length and resolution. Single steps in each line can be muted, skipped or set up with an adjustable glide. Additional control envelopes can be triggered at selected steps (attack, decay, square and soft curved envelopes with beat oriented duration control and individual depth control for each step). Sequencer lines can be assigned to external MIDI instruments as well.

Pattern sequencer

A powerful pattern oriented sequencer system with realtime, overdub and step by step recording as well as grid based drum programming. Internal song memory stores up to 32 songs and 1024 patterns.

Sampling section

A 32 stereo voice polyphonic sound engine with powerful subtractive synthesis capabilities, real multisampling, velocity switching, 2 LFO, 2 envelopes and powerful unisono detune modes for extreme fat bass and solosounds. WAV-files and Soundfont2 multisample instruments are supported by an included windows sample conversion tool.

FX-Section

Two dual digital delays with a wide range modulation LFO for spacey delays, flanging, chorus, ensemble and Special FXs.

Randomize Sound

Creates new stunning sounds on a simple button click.

SD Card interface and USB 2.0 port

The USB2 highspeed port allows fast and easy file transfers of samples, sounds, patterns and songs between the SPECTRALIS and a connected windows PC or Apple Macintosh computer. Your live setups, consisting of samples, soundsettings and sequencer data, can be stored comfortable on SD Cards (max. 4 Gigabyte).

Connections

The Spectralis 2 has 8 audio outputs (sum-l, sum-r, direct 1-4, hybrid synth direct out l + r) plus 2 audio inputs for feeding external signals into the analog filters and/or the filterbank. Additionally the spectralis comes with the standard MIDI ports (In, Out, Thru) and a USB 2.0 port. Last but not least there is a headphones output, powered by a gutsy headphones amp.

Power supply

Built in switching power supply, reliably works from 100-250V, 50/60 Hertz.
