Spectral Reverb Patch

You can watch Spectral Reverb on YouTube here

NOTE For this patch to work you must download the attached WAV file and place it in the same root directory as your patch:

External Audio Routing:
-Main outputs on channels 1 and 2

Internal Audio Routing:
-The output of the Basic Wav Player is fed into the Texture Synthesizer
-The Texture Synthesizer is fed into a Stereo Crossfader as a dry/wet control
-The output of the Stereo Crossfader is fed into a Stereo Width module for taming the stereo image
-A 70s Comp is used to tame the dynamics of the sound
-The 70s comp is fed into a Reverb

MetaModule Knob Mapping:
A - Spectral Dry/Wet
B - Spectral Feedback
C - Spectral Size
D - Spectral Density
E - Spectral Texture
F - Spectral Pitch
U - Reverb Dry/Wet
V - Reverb Size
W - Reverb Decay

MetaModule Button Mapping:

Hi Kira, When starting this patch on my metamodule I get a message ‘patch load > 99%’
What am I missing?

Cheers

Try lowering your sample rate!

Thanks for your reply mrfang.

Things I tried,

Update firmware, lower sample rate and blocksize, switch off ‘allow patch to override sample rate and blocksize, appearently this is not the problem

The patch seems very interesting to me, i gather I’m not the only one who wants to try it out. So, I must be doing something stupid. But what?

I tried to rebuild the patch on the metamodule itself to find the problem. I think I found something. First the module on Metamodule most close to the Texture Synthesizer is called Granulation, both a Clouds version I suppose. In the options of the granulation module Kira4ms switched to Spectral Madness as alternate mode. This triggers the patch load > 99% message on my metamodule.

Does this give any hints?

This patch runs at 48khz/16 block size on my machine. If you have “allow patch to override” block size and sample rate settings it should automatically switch to these settings. Let me know if you still have issues

Well, so far it doesn’t on mine.. If I just pick the Clouds (aka Granulation) module separately as a new patch the system starts to panic as soon as i turn it to Spectral Madness. It appearently doesn’t on the systems of at least three other users. In the meantime I’m learning a lot by trying to get a better view of what everything is doing. So that’s a plus.

I checked al the factory patches …

EnOsc-Step-Seq, EnOsc Poly4, Ensemble Wash, Midi-Poly4, Wander Voices and Westcoast FM Madness won’t run. These 6 factory patches are giving the same message; patch load > 99%

I can’t replicate that issue on my end. Which firmware version are you using? Did you check your prefs in settings and click “allow patch to override” for both sample rate and block size?

also make sure you’re using the most recent plugin versions. Let me know if you’re still having issues

I’m using Firmware v2.1.1.2 , allow patch to overide samplerate and blocksize is switched on.

I think i am using the most recent plugin versions.

Can you double check if you are using the most recent plugins? They’re available here:

I installed the newer firmware and the plugins. Aren’t the modules with the problems I had not in the plugins download but in the firmware? Anyhow, Progress! The factory patches work and if I turn off the overide settings and change Sample Rate to 32kHz and Buffer Size to 256 Spectral Reverb works as well!

So.. now I get the hang of it playing around with Sample Rate and Buffer Size. Thanks a lot for your patience:)! Still I’m curious under what conditions a patch like this does run at 48/16? In others words appearently there a way to optimize MM. Asking just to get a more clear view on what is going on.
