The SSFX Spreadbands circuit consists of five parallel filters in Bandpass mode. Their fre
quencies are defined via the center frequency of the middle band and the "Spread" param
eter, which sets the distance between adjacent bands in semitones. Thus a Spread of "12"
will result in the filters being spaced one octave apart. The lowest and highest bands can
be crossfaded from Bandpass to Lowpass and Highpass, respectively. An Envelope Follow
er and an LFO can be used to modulate Center Frequency and Spread independently. The
output of the filters is fed into an oversampled Saturation circuit before being blended
with the input signal in the "FX Mix" stage.
