Spire (synthesizer) analog synthesizers. There are seven modes available for each oscillator: "Classic", "Noise", "FM", "HardFM", "SawPWM" , "AMSync", and "Vowel". The sounds from the four oscillators can then be routed to the modulation units, which include four envelopes, four Low Frequency Oscillators, two step sequencers, and routing matrix. There is also an effects section, which contains five effects: delay, phaser, chorus, reverb, and waveshaping. Spire (synthesizer) Spire was the first software synthesizer developed by Reveal Sound. The synthesizer utilizes multipurpose oscillators, filters, and effects units within a digital graphic interface. Spire combines elements from both Analog and software synthesizers. The synthesizer
