How to use SpectrumWorx
Section titled “How to use SpectrumWorx”SpectrumWorx is an effect. It doesn’t make any sound on its own (unless you are using a module that loads and plays a sample), and it should be opened as an effect in your signal path. Different hosts provide different methods for using effects, and you’ll have to consult your host’s manual to figure out how this is done. A standalone application is also provided if you want to run SpectrumWorx without a host.
SpectrumWorx can be applied to virtual instruments, recorded audio or even a live audio input. Some latency is inevitable, but many hosts will compensate for any delay introduced into the signal (again, you’ll need to consult your manual to find out whether this is automatic or if you have to do it manually). The amount of delay depends primarily on the SpectrumWorx engine setup, while certain modules that are inherently delay-based (like the Reverser) can add to the amount of perceived audio delay.
