What Are Spectra? (cont.)
In the Spectraphon, and in this manual, any collection of harmonics at varying amplitudes can be
referred to as a
spectrum
(plural:
spectra
). The Spectraphon is specially made to generate many varieties
of spectra at its Odd and Even harmonic outputs, a large collection of which can be generated by
modulating the Spectraphon with external sounds at the input in
Spectral Amplitude Modulation
(SAM)
, and further explored in
Spectral Array Oscillation (SAO)
via collections of spectra called
Arrays
.
It is important to note that
Arrays of spectra are not sound recordings
. Instead, each spectrum is a
collection of values denoting the amplitude of each harmonic. The actual pitch of these harmonics at the
output will be determined by the Pitch settings of the Spectraphon.
Any given spectrum is only one part of an Array as used in SAO. The Array can contain up to 1024 spectra
(see “creating Arrays” for more information). The Slide and Focus controls and CV inputs, as well as the
Clock input, can be used to dynamically select the current spectrum. Each spectrum is a potentially
unique set of harmonics.
