Description

  • Innovative multiband resonant filter​.​
  • Officially licensed by 4ms​.​
  • Includes 75 new presets.​

A deeply useable and versatile module by USA West Coast synth specialists 4ms, the Spectral Multiband Resonator (SMR) for Softube Modular can process audio like a classic filter bank, ring like a marimba when plucked/struck, vocode, re-mix tracks, harmonize, output spectral data, quantize other oscillators to scales and much more. It's colourful, complex, and musical, infinitely expanding what is possible to achieve with Modular.

  • Six Band Innovative
  • Multiband Resonant Filter

The 4ms SMR consists of six channels of resonant bandpass filters, all individually locked to a twenty-note scale displayed in the centre of the unit via the LED ring.

Get Swept Away
All six filters can easily be swept around their present note scale manually or via CV. The scales include Western scales, alternative tunings, and more esoteric Gamelan and microtonal scales.

Endless fun!
Use SMR as an oscillator bank for additive synthesis. Create beautiful moving chord structures. Use it as a vocoder, phaser, quantizer, as a stereo-widener thingy, a CV source/arpeggiator/sequencer.

SMR can be a remix tool for extracting triggers from recorded material. It can be a drum synthesizer — pulse triggering odd and even for different rhythms. It can even be a basis for multiband compressor patches, or just a crazy-ass effect.

Daunting?
Not at all! The 4ms SMR comes with 75 brand new presets which cover these use cases. Great starting points for further patch-o-rama! Oh, and its CPU usage is comparatively low, so you can add a large number of SMR units to your patches.

Officially endorsed
Softube's 4ms Spectral Multiband Resonator software module is officially endorsed by 4ms. It faithfully emulates both the hardware and firmware of the original unit, with some minor alterations and improvements.

Tech Specs

System Requirements

  • macOS Ventura 13, Sonoma 14, Sequoia 15
  • Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11
  • Softube account
  • iLok account
  • Computer with AU, VST, VST3, and/or AAX-compatible DAW host software
  • Internet access (for downloading installers and managing licenses)

Supported CPU Families  

Apple macOS computers with Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or Apple silicon (M1 or newer) CPU. Apple silicon is supported natively.  

Windows computers with quad-core Intel Core i3/i5/i7 or AMD quad-core processors with SSE 4.2 support.

Other Intel processors (Celeron, Pentium, and Xeon) are compatible if they support SSE 4.2 instructions.  

Supported Host Software (DAW)   

Any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (Pro Tools 11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs—and our rigorous standards—we only officially test our plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Reaper. Softube plug-ins are not tested regularly in non-listed systems. They will likely work if the system requirements are met. However, we cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems.  

We strongly recommend using VST3, as some of our plug-ins have features that are not present in the older VST format. Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz, in both mono and stereo. The most recent maintenance release of your DAW application is recommended. AAX DSP is not currently in active development. TDM/VENUE/RTAS are no longer supported. See our Legacy Installers.
