Expert Sleepers Disting NT: Spectral Conquest – FFT Mayhem in Modular

Expert Sleepers, long known for bridging modular and digital workflows, brings their Spectral Conquest algorithm to the Disting NT. This update, rooted in their classic VST, arms Eurorack users with a suite of FFT-based spectral tools. From frequency shifting that shatters harmonics to combs, sieves, and a full-blown spectral polysynth, the module transforms audio in ways both clinical and clangorous. We dive into the video walkthrough to see how these spectral processes behave in real-world patching, and what new territory they open for modular sound design.
