Creative Sound Tool: Moog Spectravox!
Spectravox, the newest member of the semi-modular Moog family, is a groundbreaking tool for sound design. As an analog spectral processor based on a 10-band filter bank, Spectravox creates vibrant drones and colorful tonal sweeps, adding resonant depth and psychedelic spectral motion to any external sound.
Plug in a microphone, and Spectravox becomes an analog 10-band vocoder with innovative integrated modulation of all filters. Spectravox explores and expands the topology of the vocoder and filter bank, serving as a highly flexible instrument and signal processor with an extensive patchbay for integration into studios of any size.
Spectravox: New Sonic Dimensions
Since the release of the Moog 907 Fixed Filter Bank in the 1960s, synthesizers have enjoyed playing with the sound spectrum and producing lush vocal tones and multicolored sound animations with practical level control of each frequency band of a sound. Unlike earlier fixed filter banks, however, Spectravox’s unique filters are no longer fixed in place but shift together in frequency space, enabling the creation of voltage-controlled spectral animations and lively phaser-like sweeps. With 10 filters whose variable resonance ranges from gentle precision to shimmering chorus effects, Spectravox reshapes the sounds you love into surprising new forms and brings a new world of sonic possibilities to your studio.
Spectravox for Music Production
Spectravox is a fascinating standalone, modelable synthesizer voice created by the built-in carrier sound source from a thick analog Moog oscillator and a white noise generator. With its combined XLR/jack program input, Spectravox becomes a full-fledged 10-band vocoder with a secondary filter bank for analyzing the spectral composition of incoming sounds. In VOCODER mode, the 10 analysis filters map the sonic character of any external sound onto any other sound you can imagine. Influence Spectravox’s warm analog oscillator with the dynamics of your voice or use a drum machine to animate guitar chords in a hypnotic broadband percussive space.
Spectravox Brings Vintage Vocoding to Life
Spectravox draws inspiration from the groundbreaking vocoding work of Bob Moog and Wendy Carlos in the late 1960s, based on Homer Dudley’s original designs from the 1930s and famously used in Stanley Kubrick’s 1972 film A Clockwork Orange. Spectravox uses 10 state-variable filters for its filter bank, all of which can be shifted with the internal triangle-wave LFO or an external control voltage.
With the ability to emphasize vocal sounds through 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.
Limitless Sound Shaping
Scramble the frequency spectrum and create wonderfully unpredictable textures with patch points for every filter in the filter bank and the included patch cables. Add analog phasing to digital synthesizers and sound sources.
Integrate Spectravox with other semi-modular Moog instruments or Eurorack modules using an extensive patch bay that controls nearly all its parameters. Spectravox is an instrument that breaks boundaries and invites you to explore creative new ways of sound shaping and sculpting.
