‫OK, up next, we have spectral resonator, I think this is our first spectral effect, although we're
‫going to have another one just after this as well.
‫So spectral effects basically means that we have access to the pitch content of the sound coming into
‫it in.
‫Most effects were running.
‫We run the signal through the effect and then out right, which means we have access to the time.
‫And the volume, because it's easy for any effect to figure out what the volume is and play with that
‫and what the time is, things like delay and stuff like that, it's really hard for a computer to,
‫on the fly, analyze the pitch content and then play around with it.
‫Right.
‫That's a fairly new thing.
‫So that's called spectral when it actually does that, analyzing of the frequency content in real time
‫while the sound's going through it.
‫So when you see a spectral thing, you know that basically you're no longer seeing, like in this one,
‫look at the little the black box here.
‫See the waveform?
‫So this isn't in the queue where we're seeing.
‫Is at the bottom and amplitude at the top.
‫That's what we are used to seeing.
‫But what we're seeing here is frequency is going this way and time going this way.
‫So now we're seeing the frequency content on the vertical axis.
‫I mean, the spectral effect.
‫And it also means we can play around with that frequency content quite a bit.
‫So with the spectral resonator, we have something that sounds pretty similar to our previous resonator.
‫You'll see that ones here.
‫But I turned it off.
‫So now we're just on this.
‫But what I find to be most interesting about spectral resonator is adjusting our frequency and perhaps
‫even automating our frequency, because you get some really wild effects with this.
‫Listen.
‫It sounds like a really weird guitar that you tuned the string down to be just dangling.
‫Name.
‫We've got some other settings here that we can play around with, Granular is going to kind of make
‫this kind of 90s granulation sound I associated with the 90s.
‫But I just really like riding this frequency.
‫I'm playing around with this one, otherwise, you know, it's a resonator, so it works.
‫Similar to what we just saw, but because it's spectral, we have frequency and then harmonics above
‫it.
‫Another thing that's really fun with spectral resonator is bump up these units in a little bit.
‫And you get a really fatter sound, essentially a chorus, kind of a sound built in.
‫So this effect, like all spectral effects, has a lot of possibilities to use correctly and to use
‫incorrectly to make really cool sounds, spectral effects are.
‫Much more complicated, but have much more potential to do really wild things.
