4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator (SMR)

* The current latest firmware is v5. Please update the following modules before March 2017. The following description is for v4. Many v5 additional functions such as 1V / Oct signal output, fine tuning, note prohibition, 2-pass filter, transpose, etc. are supported.Japanese manualPlease refer to.

 Spectral Multiband Resonator (SMR) generates fantastic sounds from white noise,Dynamic filter bankInnovative resonant filter that can process incoming audio as

 Active for SMR6 bandpass filtersExists, and each digital bandpass filter processes the input signal and outputs it. Both input and output are odd-numbered (odds) and even-numbered (evens) and can be used separately. These band frequencies varyscaleCan be set to configureLED RingIndicates which scale of the scale the frequency of each channel corresponds to. The scale is not only Western scale,Indian scale, differential scaleEtc. can also be selected. By modulating with various controls, you can perform a lot of harmonic operations.

 As an example of use other than the normal filter bank, input a trigger at the maximum resonance to produce a marimba-like sound,Track remixing, harmonizing, spectral data processing and vocoder, quantizing input audio to scale, etc.It is diverse.

 The frequency band of each channel isscaleBecause the scale is inside, when six are combinedcodeI can.RotateTurning the knob moves the selected pitch through the scale, and returns to the lowest pitch again after making a full turn.SpreadAdjusting will open the interval between the filters. To enable flexible control with external modules, rotation can be performed with triggers and CVs, and sequence and scale selection can be performed with CVs.MorphCan crossfade transitions to adjacent frequencies, so it is possible to drive the SMR as a resonant filter that fluctuates by mixing rhythmic clocks with Slew.

Resonance / QWhen the trigger is sent to the SMR with maximizing, a sound like a gong or marimba can be produced. The frequency bands of each channel are quantized to scale, making it very easy to synthesize complex and emotional musical sounds. Conversely, by lowering the resonance / Q, it is possible to extract only specific frequency bands and sweep over the spectrum. Also, the frequency and resonance of each channelLock buttonCan also be fixed by

 Two jacks for frequency adjustment are attached to each even / odd channel,V / OctIt is also useful for building melodies that move on chords and generating complex percussion sounds. Other main features are as follows.

• 6 filter channels that can be assigned from the 20 active filters shown on the LED ring
• Resonance / Q adjustable from a variable range, covering from classic bandpass to intense oscillation
• By using the input and output of odd and even channels properlystereoAlso supports sound
• Of each channelSpectrum Out (Env Out)Allows for vocoding or spectral transfer
• Select from three envelope modes (fast, slow, trigger)Envelope follower per channelCan be synchronized to the beat
• The level of each channel can be controlled by slider and CV
• SlewBy adjusting the level, clicks can be removed when the level is controlled by discontinuous signals such as clocks and triggers.
• 20 full-color LED rings indicate the scale on the filter scale
• Filter frequency moves on scale by controlling Rotation and Spread
• Freq NudgeCan be adjusted in fine frequency units by controlling. Voltage control at 1V / Oct is also possible.
• 11 different scales in each bank, each with 20 preset frequencies and pitches
• Western scale, Indian scale, differentiated sound, etc.Preset scale bank
• White noiseIs internally connected to the input, so the SMR can be used without external signals
• CV and trigger input for almost all parameters
• 96kHz / 24bit audio
• Programmable scale on your own. Set the frequency of each of the 20 scales using octaves, semitones, and Coarse / Fine tunes. Up to 11 scales can be stored in the user bank.
• You can adjust the LED color settings. You can choose a setting as a skin or adjust R / G / B with a slider to build your own color settings. This color setting can also be saved.
• Settings can be stored in one of six banks. Active scale, scale / bank selection, Q value, lock status, color settings, etc. can be saved and recalled. At startup, the contents of the last saved bank are loaded.
• To get a more snappy decay when pinging with a triggerAnother filter typeIs selectable. In this case, the Freq input does not operate at 1V / Oct.
• The slider LED can be used to display the level or clipping status of each channel.
