iZotope said: Spectron uses a spectral engine to split audio into thousands of frequency bands, apply effects independently to each band, and resynthesize the audio to create entirely new sounds.
Spectron can provide delay effects, but it adds the ability to selectively delay, feedback and modulate specific ranges of frequencies. Or it can sound like a flanger or chorus, but with additional spectral complexity and richness. It can filter signals, but unlike an EQ it has the unique ability to morph, modulate and harmonically filter sounds.
i dl'd the demo.. the morph isn't the greatest thing.. really just a phased vocoder (with lots of bands).. but u can do some trippy stuff with it by automating things! (if your host app supports DX automation)..
the interface is kinda wierd.. not as intuitive as their other plugs
i think it's the same old things in a new glossy package. plus the izotope plugins i've tried are not stable, i often experience cpu spikes (so much as 250 percent..) that crash fruity and cubase, plus they've been problematic in some other hosts for unknown reasons.
@23: i've had severe problems with using izotope plugins as anything but post-mixdown mastering tools.. their Trash disortion unit takes up just as much memory as Ozone with every module enabled. 8x they make playback impossible, so i only use them in wavelab or soundforge.. but they're such good quality plugins, i don't really mind.. :B
Yeah, I got Spektral for $50 the other day, and after playing with both, which offer me the same stupid amount of crazy effects i'll never use, I'll stick with spektral.
