Moog Spectravox Vocoder Filterbank

I’m not really a techno person, but I really like the techno sounds in the video I posted above and these. The Labyrinth, Spectravox, drum machine combo seems pretty great to me. Really feeling these new Moogs.

Took the plunge with this one this week, and it’s wild. Vocoder sounds are primitive as expected (and I’ll definitely be using them), but the variety of sound processing possibilities is very wide. With delay every sound is a dreamscape.

New Moog demo library about physical-modeling-type processing:

As part of a semi-modular/modular setup (M32, modded Mavis, DFAM, O Coast and O Ctrl) with an emphasis on analog sounds and patch-programmability, Spectravox is clearly one that’s going to have a wide variety of uses that will take a while to figure out.

One crazy use of the envelope followers I saw on Gearspace: you can patch in “control audio”—sine waves to match the band pass analysis filters get decomposed into 8 0-8v CV signals. Haven’t set up in Bitwig yet, but a proof of concept with Digitone 2 worked…

I picked up one on the Thomann cyberweek sale. It was too cheap to pass up! But it seems to have been discontinued now.

Mine arrived last week, managed a quick play with it before wrapping it up so I can be given it for Christmas! I haven’t used a hardware filter bank before and it just felt like its going to be a great addition to the DFAM and SubH, here I conjured up the sound of a small twin prop aeroplane, I posted it in current sounds last week but thought it would be ok posted here too, loved the feeling of being able to create environments from a synth, not what I was expecting from it tbh ! (I was using the Werkstatt with it for this)
