LinPlug Spectral - Manual (Page 87)

- Use HP 2 when there is any such self modulation or when you like the
sound it creates more (we do most of the time)
- HP 1 should basically never be chosen anymore, its however still there for
compatibility for presets made before HP 2 was introduced
Per Instance Options
The Microtonal Scale control enables Spectral to be tuned to tunings other
than Equal Temperament. See Appendix E for a complete description of
how to use TUN files to set the Spectral’s scale tuning.
Master Tune is used to set the overall tuning of Spectral if no microtuning
file is loaded. This tuning can be set from 415 Hz to 466 Hz.
Next comes a switch to define how the Arpeggiator in Spectral should work
in respect to the song position. Usually the “Lock Arpeggiator to Song
Position” should be On, however, if its useful in a project you might want to
switch it Off. When switched Off the Arpeggiator will use the start of the first
note as its synchronization origin and all notes will be played as the
Arpeggiator pattern defines them. When switched On however, the first
Note of the Arpeggiator will be shortened or lengthened (if required) so that
the successive notes are played exactly “on the beat”.
Global Options
The Velocity Curve allows one of ten different velocity responses to be set.
These range from linear through to an extreme exponential velocity
response. Use this to generally adjust the Spectral's response to your
Keyboard.
Next are two options which allow you too choose a different Controller to
function as Modulation Wheel or Aftertouch. This is useful when you not
play with a keyboard or when your keyboard has not Aftertouch (also called
Pressure) function but you have for example a Breath Controller
connected: in this case just choose “Breath Controller” for the Aftertouch
function and you can play MophoX using the Breath Controller to control all
sounds which are programmed using Aftertouch.
Next is the Startup Preset and Library Location setting. When you install
Spectral the Library (presets consisting of the parameter settings,
waveforms and filter-shapes) are placed in a default location. On PC that is
in the same folder where you installed Spectral, on Mac it is
