I think your first video was fair. People need to know what they are getting on its own especially since this series is for hobbyist modular types. Still not sold on this. This thing is the equivalent of the Minifooger pedals we pretend never happened.

Great demos, thank you. I don't see myself getting this anytime soon, though. The filters sound ok, especially as a guitar pedal it sounded good, but it doesn't exactly rock my boat. As a vocoder it sounds terrible, I haven't heard a single demo where the result is anything but barely audible, not even in the official Moog videos. Once I get bored of the sound of my Sound Studio 3, the filters might be worth it to find new sounds.

The vocoder is is not as bad as it seems from this video. But it takes time to learn and adjust the program and carrier levels to avoid heavy distortion. Best results are achieved with a sawtooth chord carrier.

I think the Spectravox is made for experimentation. I am going to control at least 8 of the 10 Frequency Inputs with either an 8 stage shift register or an 8 stage analog shift register. I am still waiting for my vendor to get this in stock, so I will build the circuits while I wait. It might be really cool or it might sink, but I will not know until I try. The Spectravox should offer many ways to make recursive generative music and as it has an EG to amplitude, it can be midi synched, via something like a CV OCD.

Great video, but I wish they had made these so it was possible to double the number of bands by combining two of them together. I guess that might infringe on the market for their £5000 16-band vocoder though. But I'm just speculating...

The top two bands weren’t turned up when you were using the vocoder. That probably affected the intelligibility, not that it’s very good as a vocoder anyway. It’s more interesting as a filter bank. Have you use it with the Matriarch yet?
@Tiger.Arcade

When the top two bands are up too high there is wayyyy too much hiss so I dialed them back to make it more intelligible. I have also used it with the matriarch and it sounds great. Difficult getting the chords how I want them sometimes since it’s paraphonic.

It is *a piece of gear* for sure, but I'm not in a huge rush to pick it up. I have the Sound Studio 3 with a 4 tier rack. I have one slot left - I'll hold till the Labrynth becomes available. Either way, both pieces are Behringer's next two clones.

@asynchronicity Perhaps. Time will tell. I'm of the opinion that if it's part of the Moog Sound Studio lineup, Behringer will do it. This on top of the fact that Behringer has already cloned the Fixed Filterbank for the System 55 I don't think this (nor the Labrynth) is beyond their reach. That said, if given the choice between the Labrynth or a clone by Behringer, I'd still pick the Labrynth. Either way, the Spectrovox is something I might pick up way, way down the road on the used market.

Obviously aimed at the modular folks where there are far more interesting alternatives. 4ms spectral resonator is not exactly the same thing, but the different capabilities and lower cost are attractive. If you have the coin Frap Tools or Verbos have MUCH higher quality builds for something like this.

Not a very inspiring box of tricks . I was hoping someone would demo it with a Bass Guitar ,to see if it would surprise me . Thanks for using guitar though to confirm it's not for me . I have the moog grandmother , dfam and minitaur. I was going to get sound studio but I'll stick with what I have moog wise . Regarding analogue effects , I'm using the Boss ME8-B which works fantastically well with the minitaur ,and tbh blows this out of the water ..only imho of course . The drum machine sounds weak in this demo also . Good that you tried it though.

Because the boards previously built oversees were then assembled oversees instead of in Ashville? Ridiculous.
