Mixer Section - Native Instruments Reaktor Spark Manual

output of the Effects section. The mix of the monophonic signal is determined by the FB Int
- Ext K . Here possibilities arise for very interesting effects like cross-talk between the indi-
nob
vidual voices. This arises when a nonzero setting of the FB M K causes the monophonic
ono nob
feedback signal to be distributed among all the voices of the polyphonic feedback signal.

4.5 Mixer Section

The controls in the Mixer section allow you to selectively choose the spectral components in the sound.
The Mixer section dictates what gets routed to the Effects section and its various knobs give
easy access to controlling the overall spectral characteristics of the sound. The p and
ulSe
S controls determine how much of the unprocessed Sine and Pulse Oscillator outputs get
ine
added to the mix (see Oscillators section for sound characteristic of each). The Oscillator
Envelope modulates the amplitude of the oscillator signals before they enter the Mixer section.
The lp-2, lp-4, bp-2, bp-4, hp-2, and hp-4 K control the amounts of the various filter
nobS
outputs coming from the Ringmod/Filter section. lp-2 and LP-4 determine how much of the
12 dB/octave and 24/dB octave lowpass filter outputs, respectively, get mixed to the Effects
section's input. The same applies for the bp-2 and bp-4, hp-2 and Hp-4 K , where BP
nobS
stands for the bandpass and HP stands for high the pass filter. Similar to the filter controls
in the Mixer section, the S K controls the amount of the Shaper unit's output signal,
haper nob
and the D /F K controls the amount of the Frequency Shifter unit's output signal enter-
el S nob
ing the Effects section. The o c determines the overall signal level sent from

the Mixer section to the Effects section. The left l M in the output unit shows the
eVel eter
level behind the o c .
utput ontroller
The c K is used to control the maximum output level of SPARK. The c K
eiling nob eiling nob
should be set a bit below 0 dB to prevent clipping at the soundcard. It functions as a control
for the signal level that comes from the ouput of the limiter unit placed behind the Effects
section. The right l M in the output unit shows the amount that the synthesizer output
eVel eter
signal is reduced by the limiter.
