The NI-SPEKTRAL
DELAY differs from the many other audio effects in that it uses real-time FFT
(Fast Fourier Transformation) to split each channel of a stereo signal into as
many as 160 separately modifiable frequency bands (even up to 1024 bands
internally).
The level, delay time and feedback amount
for each of this bands can be set separately.
Additionally, various modulation effects
can be applied to the signal in the frequency domain,
which allows for even further sound manipulation.
SKU:
NINSD2 The NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY offers
exceptionally great possibilities for creative sound design -
from subtle corrections and rich effects to the total alienation
of the input signal. Never the less, the NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY is
easy to use since all parameters are controlled intuitively and
comfortably from a sophisticated graphical user interface. The
NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY runs either stand-alone or as a plug-in. It
offers professional sound quality and can be fully controlled by
MIDI.
Creativity and Comfort
Edit Graphs which are intuitive to use and packed with
comfortable edit functions are used to set up the delay times
and feedback levels for the bands: each of the up to 160 bands
per side can be delayed separately and fed back to the delay
input with an individual amount. The delay times can be set
freely or according to the rhythm via a selectable note grid.
The maximum delay time is 12 seconds. The effects achievable
with this band delay include rather subtle colorings as well as
rhythmic courses of the partial tones and dense, atmospheric
sound textures.
The modulation effects of the
NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY, which are expandable by plug-ins, are applied
in the frequency domain of the audio signal and offer many
unusual processing options - such as rotation of the frequency
bands or reverb simulation by 'smearing' the amplitude courses
of the bands. The modulation effects make a big contribution to
the unique sound possibilities of the NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY.
The amplitudes of the bands are also controlled intuitively by
drawing in an Edith Graph with the mouse. In contrast to those
of conventional filters, the filter curves resulting from this
can have any shape and therefore make possible even very extreme
filter settings and sweeps. For example, it is possible to
completely filter all frequencies while some very narrow
frequency bands are still audible. The filter curves can be
drawn together or separately for the two channels of a stereo
signal.
Effects Processor and Performance Tool
Separate feedback delays for up to 160 bands per stereo side,
unique modulation effects and freely drawable filter curves make
the NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY an exceptional flexible, powerful and
creative effects tool. All parameters such as filter, delay and
feedback settings can be modulated with an integrated LFO or via
MIDI. This makes it possible to create very organic and lively
effects which can easily be played live.
The NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY runs on Macintosh™ or under Windows™,
either stand-alone with MME™, Direct Sound™, Sound Manager™ and
ASIO™ or as a plug-in with a VST™ - or DirectX™ - compatible
host program. Many presets for different applications (e.g.
guitar, vocals, drums, ambiences, reverberations, spacial
effects) are included.
