Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a LinPlug Spectral license or trying the demo.
Spectral is a very unique software synthesizer, in some aspects similar to
additive as well as subtractive synthesizers. It features four unique 121
band filters, one for each 256 harmonics additive oscillator. It also has
sophisticated cross-modulation possibilities which are good for FM and
similar synthesis methods.
Moreover it has an enormous range of processing and modulation options
including a pretty unique arpeggiator, as well as a versatile effects section.
Spectral comes with a selection of high quality presets in a wide range of
styles, an easy-to-use interface, and of course this manual.
We believe that Spectral is an exceptional instrument because of its unique
audio processing capabilities, which result from the fact that we at LinPlug
design most of our audio modules from scratch, sometimes – as in case of
Spectral - following paths no one else would probably even consider.
Spectral is the result of more than 12 years of synthesizer building
experience and the realization of a dream. We know you will get a lot of
sounds never heard before from the Spectral synthesizer and hope that it
becomes an integral part of your music-making.
