Moog Spectravox Semi-modular Analog Spectral Processor
- Product Code: ga83079
-
Engage in sonic exploration with the Moog Spectravox, a highly flexible instrument and signal processor with a comprehensive patch bay for integration into studios of all sizes. This latest member of the Moog semi-modular family provides a groundbreaking playground for sculpting sound. Spectravox features an analog spectral processor based around a 10-band filter bank, which creates lively drones and colorful tonal sweeps on its own and adds resonant depth and psychedelic spectral movement to any external sound. Hook up a microphone and Spectravox becomes a 10-band analog vocoder with innovative integrated modulation of all of its filters.
Inspired by the Moog 907 Fixed Filter Bank from the '60s, the Spectravox creates lush vowel tones and multicolored timbral animation with hands-on level control of each frequency band of a sound. Unlike earlier fixed filter banks, the unique filters of Spectravox will jointly shift around the frequency space, allowing for the creation of otherworldly voltage-controlled spectral animation and vibrant phaser-like sweeps. With 10 filters whose variable resonance can morph from soft precision to shimmering choral effects, Spectravox reshapes the sounds you love into surprising new forms and brings a new world of sonic possibilities to your studio.

- An updated version of the limited edition Moogfest version of Spectravox.
- Use as a standalone synth with included +12V DC power supply or simply remove the front panel to install into any Eurorack system.
- 36 patch points to unlock deeper sonic exploration and possibilities.
- Multi-use instrument that can function as a synth voice, CV-controlled filter bank, or vocoder.
- Transform any audio source (drum machines, synthesizers, vocals, field recordings, etc.) with multiband filtering, spectral shifts, and Carrier/Program relationships.
- Integrate Spectravox with other Moog semi-modular instruments or Eurorack modules with an extensive 3.5mm patch bay providing control over critical parameters.
- Spectravox is a fascinating standalone sculptable synthesizer voice thanks to its built-in carrier sound source of a thick analog Moog oscillator and white-noise generator. With its combo XLR/jack program input, Spectravox becomes a full-featured 10-band vocoder with a secondary filter bank for analyzing the spectral makeup of incoming sounds. In VOCODER mode its 10 analysis filters map the timbral characteristics of any external sound onto any other sound you can imagine. Shape the warm analog oscillator of Spectravox with the dynamics of your voice, or use a drum machine to animate guitar chords in a mesmerizing broadband percussive space.
- Spectravox uses the pioneering vocoding work of Bob Moog and Wendy Carlos in the late 1960s as its inspiration—work which was based on Homer Dudley's original designs from the 1930s and used to prominent effect in Stanley Kubrick's 1972 film A Clockwork Orange. Innovating further from these early designs, Spectravox uses 10 state-variable filters for its filter bank, all 10 of which are capable of being shifted with its internal triangle wave LFO or external control voltage. With the ability to emphasize vowel sounds via the Hiss and Buzz functionality of the Moog 16 Channel Vocoder, Spectravox is both a major step forward for analog filter banks and a loving exploration of early music-technology history.
- Scramble the frequency spectrum and create wonderfully unpredictable textures with patch points for each filter in the filter bank, and the included patch cables. Add analog warmth and subtle phasing to digital synthesizers and sound sources. Integrate Spectravox with other Moog semi-modular instruments or Eurorack modules with an extensive patch bay, providing control over almost all of its parameters. Spectravox is a boundary-pushing instrument that invites you to explore creative new ways of shaping and sculpting sound.

Q: 3. What accessories are needed to record and also to use while performing? Buying this for my son and I read all the reviews, but don't understand what folks are recommending. I appreciate any help. Thanks, Kate
A: The Moog Theremini has a built in speaker that can be heard in the room and for practicing. It also has a headphone output. For connecting to a practice amplifier, or mixer for performing, or an audio interface for recording, it also has a left and right line output on the back. So you can use B&H # KOI3010 to connect it to either of those sources.
