Exceptional DELAY Effects

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.

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.
