moog music spectravox: semi-modular analog spectral processor price : $599.00

the 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 which was 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 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.
