If you like weird and wonderful effects, you need to enter the spectral domain — and SpectrumWorx 2 will take you there in some style. I've always enjoyed plug‑ins that operate in the spectral domain, and my all‑time favourite was DelayDots' SpectrumWorx, which I reviewed back in SOS August 2004 (). This modular VST effect plug‑in could modify the sounds of VST Instruments, recorded audio, or even a live audio input, in astonishing ways, via a string of different spectral effect treatments inserted into 'slots' in a virtual rack interface.

Sadly, as good as his original idea was, developer Alexey Menshikov never found enough time to continue development, so I was very pleased to hear in 2009 that DSP specialists Little Endian had acquired the DelayDots product range and intended to develop its ideas further. They have spent the last year rewriting SpectrumWorx from the ground up and incorporating numerous enhancements. The result is SpectrumWorx 2. SpectrumWorx 2 sports a new, clearer main window, with global controls on the left‑hand side, and the five‑slot modular 'rack' area on the right. Each module now has up to four rotary controls, each of which can be controlled by its own unique LFO. The SpectrumWorx modular interface offers huge flexibility, since each of its various slots can have any of the available treatment modules dropped into them. It's rather like using a string of guitar stomp boxes, but operating in the spectral domain, without any dangling cables, and offering drag‑and‑drop reordering.

Version 1 offered 45 different modules and a chain of up to 16 slots, but in practice almost none of the factory presets utilised more than five slots, so the 55 modules and five slots of the redesigned v2 interface actually provide far more flexibility, while taking up less room on screen.

The version 2 graphic design is much clearer than that of its predecessor.

A left‑hand main window contains global controls, with the five‑slot modular 'rack' area on the right; both now have larger controls that also now offer a readout of parameter values in dB and Hz rather than arbitrary numbers, making the design process somewhat easier and the audio outcome at least slightly more predictable. The interface also features two additional windows for preset management and various engine settings, which pop up alongside the main one when the appropriate buttons are pressed, thus keeping screen clutter to a minimum. These additional windows also offer handy variable opacity so you can still see what's happening in your sequencer 'underneath' them — only the smaller main window obscures your view. A few long‑time users may miss the artistic choices of the old Skin options, but personally I found the new blue and grey interface displayed far more static and dynamic information in a much clearer way, and was very happy with the new 'look'.

Some of the most dramatic effects in the first version of SpectrumWorx were obtained by moving one or more controls in real time, but to do this you needed to manually assign them to a MIDI controller number and automate them externally. Now you can do this automatically from within SpectrumWorx, and simultaneously in different ways for every parameter. With seven LFO waveforms and an on/off switch, plus speed and minimum/maximum range controls, this offers a veritable feast of new possibilities. However, five LFO controls for up to four parameters in each of the five slots could rapidly make the interface unwieldy, so Little Endian wisely only display the controls of a single LFO for the currently selected parameter. You can still see exactly what's happening to everything in real time, though, as the current value of each parameter is displayed dynamically as an opening 'iris' while the various LFOs modulate them. A serious limitation is the lack of sync options to lock the LFO cycles to the tempo of your song when running SpectrumWorx inside a suitable VST host application, but apparently this feature is at the top of the LittleEndian 'to‑do list', and may even be available by the time you read this.

Although SpectrumWorx 1 could occasionally prove a little temperamental, version 2 proved to be. Little Endian SpectrumWorx 2 $119. Spectrum Worx 2.0.2. Little endian spectrumworx v2.0.2 union.

I sincerely hope so, as it would open up the musical options considerably. Envelope‑modulated LFOs are also promised in due course, which would extend the possibilities when you can't tempo-sync. The remaining controls remain largely as before, with global In, Out and Mix controls to set direct and effect levels, and various spectral engine tweaks available from the pop‑up settings window that enable you to adjust the compromise between audio quality and CPU overhead. Various higher quality options are now available to reflect today's significantly greater processing power, and this time around, all settings are saved on a preset‑by‑preset basis, so you can more easily employ lower quality settings for special effects. If you click the Settings button in the main window, this window pops up alongside it, keeping screen clutter to a minimum. Here you can change the operating mode and various GUI options, as well as tweak various engine parameters for smoother results or special effects.
