Thoughts on the Sprectravox?

Post by MaxFerency » Fri Jun 14, 2024 8:59 am

I'm curious if anyone here has bought the Sprectavox and what their thoughts are on it? (I've watch YouTube reviews but I'm curious about other users.) I've been considering it to augment my Matriarch, Mavis and DFAM. I primarily use the Matriarch as a lead synth and the DFAM as my backing drum pattern that I input into the Mavis to further modulate. I could image in the Sprectra vox could make some interesting sounds on either signal path of the Matriarch or the DFAM+Mavis. Anyone with experience have thoughts?

I acquired Spectravox mainly for use as vocoder, which works quite well, if one uses a good microphone and observes some limitations of the Program and Carrier inputs. Demo here: https://robotbath.bandcamp.com/track/th ... ravox-demo

Moreover I used it in some patches with Matriarch and DFAM, first as Vocoder with Program from DFAM and Carrier from Matriarch which gives quite interesting results. Currently I use it as filter for the Matriarch, where the mixer output is connected via attenuator to the Carrier input. In Spectravox I set every second filter to 0, all other to max and modulate the Spectra Shift slowly. You can hear the result in this track of mine from about position 4m20s:

or in this track from 5m37s:
