Tips & Tricks
quick switch between 2 different OSC pages
you can switch directly between two OSC pages using the [OSC WAVE] & MACRO CTRL encoder
[OSC WAVE] memorizes the last selected page
[MACRO CTRL] memorizes any page between 10 and 26
Sometimes an Encoder memorizes two pages - needs further investigation and description
shorten a motif
press [MOTIF] and then display encoder [EDIT] <br> the following display page allows you to change the length & loop type of a motif
Init Sound
[SHIFT]+[SET ROUTING] intializes the H-Synth Part. <br> You don't hear anything afterwards, because alle TriggerGroups are cleared. Hold down [12/Analog Synth] while in Part Select Mode to enter the TriggerGroup Pages, then use the Page Keys to access the TriggerGroup assign Pages. Assign all Elements to TG1 for a normal H-Synth Sound.
How to use different FX Send Levels for MM Filter, LP Filter and Filterbank
Beside the H-Synth global FX1 Send accesible via [FX1-SEND] there are different FX1 Send controls for MM Filter, LP Filter and the Filterbank.
The Send for MM & LP Filter can be found in the [EG DEPTH] menu page 5&6. The Filterbank FX1 Send has a dedicated knob [FB>FX1/12].
Different FX Levels are usefull if you have multiple TriggerGroup, for example a dry LP Bass Sound, a MM Lead Sound with medium delay and a Filterbank with lots of delay.
LFOs have no effect
The the [MOD DEPTH] of the global LFOs must be > 0, because the mod depth is the master Level control for a global LFO.
The Voice/Filter LFOs only work as a mod source if their original Amount is > 0.
Example : You can only modulate TLM of OSC1 with the LP Filter LFO if the LP Filter LFO has a Mod Depth > 0

Routing Diagram
This is a draft version of a routing diagram of the spectralis signal path.
You may need a special svg viewer for the file like inkscape.
Very special thanks to Lichttank from the spectralis forum for contributing this diagram.
