Next you can change the Blend dial and watch the spectrum gradually
morph into the blended waveform.

For filters the process is basically the same, just that you not morph into the

selected filter shape but you can select whether the Editor should treat the
selected filter as being connected in serial or parallel to the edited filter

shape. We choose this approach as for most people this is the way they
think about building up complex filters.

With the Shift dial (only available in the filter Editor) you can also shift the
selected filter gradually against the edited filter; again trying is the key to

see how simple and powerful this is in practice.

Additional Tools

The Tool Menu as you know it from other modules is also available in the
Spectral Editor, again located top right allowing to copy and paste settings.

However, it contains a number of additional tools, depending on whether
you work on harmonics or filter bands:

Note: Most tools do consider both the previously described Edit Frame Tool

(page 28) and the Pattern (page 30), further increasing the possibility of
purposeful editing.

Harmonic / Init to Sine

sets the fundamental to full level and all harmonics to silence.

Harmonic / Normalize Levels

Adjusts the level of all harmonics so, that the highest level is at 0 dB

Harmonic / Swap Harmonics

Exchanges Even and Odd harmonics

Harmonic / Random Spectrum

Creates a random spectrum

Harmonic / Init Phases to 0
