Synths, hardware and software, are wonderful, marvelous, astonishing… BUT they are nearly always stereophonic (with the notable exception of Cosmosf Saturn and Crusher-X) ! What a pity 🙁
The SpatStruments try modestly to bring a remedy to this regrettable situation by feeding them with this mono or stereo sound, and play both together with a MIDI keyboard and controllers, as if they were a single instrument.
Of course, it is not totally true since the spatial section can only process the whole sound coming from the synth and cannot be a part of its internal synthesis and polyphony path (but generations of acousmatic composers have done worse by spatializing stereo mixes!).
They can nevertheless add some further processing to the sound together with the spatial mass thanks to :
– a VariMode Filter
– 2 Envelope Generators (can be triggered by the LFOs)
– 2 LFOs
– external modulations for both the “synthesis” elements and the spatial ones (note number, velocity, after touch and controllers)
– the spatial position can also be modulated by the Envelope Generators and by the LFOs
