Spirit has been significantly enhanced with expanded functionality and modulation options
Monophonic, unison, polyphonic (4, 8, or 16 voices), and cycle voice modes
Multi voice modes for unison, poly, and cycle that add per-note variation by adding three additional “mini synth” panels, each with their own pitch, pan, filter frequency, VCA Envelope Attack, and VCA Envelope Release settings
Quick-access multi-voice panel presets such as Hard Panned, Slightly Detuned, Well Worn, and more to simulate subtle or extreme variations between voices
Over 430 professionally designed presets in a dozen categories
Two oscillators with master tune, octave, waveshape, and oscillator sync
Oscillator B features modes to create a fixed frequency in two ranges – Bass and Wide – for drones, audio-rate modulation, or an additional LFO
Dedicated Upper low pass filter and multimode Lower filter
Flexible filter section with keyboard tracking, a fixed formant option for the Lower filter (to add vocal-like color), and low pass slope options
Two ADSR envelopes with velocity for filter and amp
Extensive modulation options in Mod X and Shaper Y sections, each routable to dedicated mod wheels
Mod X modulation sources: Triangle, Square, Random (Sample & Hold), Shaper Y, Red Noise, Oscillator B. Sync or retrig
Mod X destinations: Oscillator A + B, Oscillator A, Oscillator A rectangular width modulation (RWM), Filter Upper + Lower, Upper Filter
Shaper Y modes: Free Run (extra LFO), KB Hold, Run, Reset (Envelope and Filter Effects). Sync or loop.
Shaper Y destinations: Oscillator A + B, Oscillator B, Oscillator B RWM, LFO Rate, Lower Filter
Cherry Audio’s “Matrix Z” four-slot mod matrix with four independent pathways to send modulation from one of 25 sources to any of 45 destinations, each with its own amount knob
Multiple gate options for ADSRs allow for complex triggering
Two independent mixers and signal paths for Shaper Y and Filter/ADSR with independent outputs
Glide and pitch bend controls
Dynamic arpeggiator with three modes – Ripple, Arp, and Leap – with Swing, Chance, and Feel to add degrees of randomness to arpeggiated patterns
Two independent chains of studio-quality integrated effects with a global effect modulator:
Filter/ADSR Effects: Distortion, Flanger & Chorus, Echo, and Reverb
Shaper Y Effects: Envelope Filter, Dual Phaser, Flanger & Chorus, and Echo
Standalone virtual instrument and plug-in versions included
Super accurate DAW sync
User-adjustable oversampling control
Complete MIDI control and DAW automation for all controls, with easy-to-use MIDI learn and mapping (Preset and Global)
