Moog Music has introduced a semi-modular analog spectral processor designed to broaden the horizons of musical expression and sound design.
Now available globally, Spectravox offers a unique blend of classic Moog sound manipulation with cutting-edge features.
Spectravox joins Moog’s esteemed semi-modular family as a groundbreaking tool for auditory exploration. At its core, a visionary 10-band filter bank, paired with a robust analog Moog oscillator and a dynamic white noise generator, forms the backbone of this versatile spectral processor. Spectravox is not just an instrument; it’s a portal into uncharted sonic realms, offering lively drones and colorful tonal sweeps that breathe life into any sound composition.
In 60HP format, Spectravox excels both as a standalone synthesizer and an integrative component in expansive Eurorack setups, providing unparalleled control over tonal shaping and spectral movement. With its dual-mode functionality, it is able to transform from a powerful synthesizer voice into a fully-featured 10-band vocoder. The integrated secondary filter bank meticulously analyzes the spectral makeup of incoming sounds, allowing users to imprint the timbral characteristics of external sources onto the Spectravox’s rich analog tones.
Whether it’s shaping the warm, resonant oscillations of Spectravox with the cadence of your voice or animating guitar chords with a drum machine to create mesmerizing, broadband percussive effects, the possibilities are as vast as your imagination. The combo XLR/jack program input ensures that whether you’re hooking up a microphone or integrating other sound modules, Spectravox adapts seamlessly, enhancing its surroundings with resonant depth and psychedelic spectral movements.
This highly flexible instrument and signal processor boasts an extensive patch bay, inviting musicians and sound designers to dive deep into a world of innovative sound design and complex audio manipulation. Spectravox is more than a synthesizer — it’s an exploration and expansion of the traditional vocoder and filter bank topology, engineered to inspire and transform the landscape of modern music production.
“Spectravox enhances Moog’s modular synthesis legacy by integrating a sophisticated vocoder alongside powerful analog synthesis capabilities,” says Product Strategist, Max Ravitz at Moog Music. “This instrument is designed to give musicians comprehensive control over their sound, enabling detailed texture shaping and a broad spectrum of sonic experimentation.”
Spectravox is now shipping to authorized dealers globally at a price of $599 USD.
