Common Reveal Sound Spire Synthesizer Plug-in Questions
How do I configure Spire to receive MIDI input from my MIDI controller or DAW?
Ensure Spire is enabled as a VST instrument in your DAW's plugin settings and that your MIDI controller is set to transmit on the correct MIDI channel, typically channel 1 unless specified otherwise in Spire's global settings menu.
Where are Spire's presets, sound banks, or kits stored on my computer, and how do I save my own?
Spire's presets are usually stored in a dedicated folder within your VST plugin directory. To save a preset, click the 'Save' button in Spire's interface and choose a name; user presets are typically stored in a separate 'User Presets' subfolder within the main Spire presets folder.
What are the key differences between the four oscillator types in Spire, and when should I use each one?
The four oscillator types offer distinct timbral qualities: Classic provides basic waveforms, Noise generates various noise textures, FM utilizes frequency modulation for complex tones, and AMS offers amplitude modulation for dynamic effects; experiment with each to find the right character for your sound.
I'm hearing crackling or popping noises when using Spire. How can I fix this?
Crackling can often be resolved by increasing your DAW's buffer size, reducing the number of voices playing simultaneously in Spire (decrease unison or number of notes played), or ensuring your computer meets Spire's minimum system requirements.
How do I use the built-in step sequencer in Spire to create rhythmic patterns?
Activate the step sequencer section on the Spire interface. Then, click on the step buttons (1-16) to activate individual steps. Each step's pitch and gate length can be adjusted independently for creating unique sequences.
