Spitfire Audio Henrietta Smith-Rolla — Spectrum (Digital product)

Spectrum has been created in collaboration with composer, producer, and DJ Henrietta Smith-Rolla, also known as AFRODEUTSCHE — an innovator known for her techno house productions and piano-based scores. This groundbreaking virtual instrument offers a rich palette of manipulated, multi-dimensional synth textures and tempo-synced loops designed to inspire and enrich your sound world.

Developed using Henrietta's unique collection of synth sounds, including those crafted with the Kyma sound design system (used in films like Wall-E and The Dark Knight), Spectrum features 50 presets spanning four distinct sections: Spectral Phases, Spectral Rhythms, Spectral Reflections, and Spectral Percussion. Each section provides a wide range of multi-layered pads, rhythmic textures, and atmospheric sounds that blend seamlessly into contemporary electronic, hybrid, and cinematic compositions.

The instrument includes extensive controls for shaping your sound, such as Stereo Spread, Attack, Release, Reverb (with seven types), Delay, Stretch, and Distort, allowing for deep customization. Spectrum comes with a dedicated, user-friendly plugin available in VST2, VST3, AAX, and AU formats, making integration into any modern digital audio workstation effortless.

Henrietta Smith-Rolla, based in Manchester, UK, is known for her polyrhythmic, genre-blending compositions that combine Afrofuturistic electro, techno, classical piano, and Detroit house influences. Spectrum builds on her acclaimed piano-led score for the BAFTA-nominated documentary Kamali, inviting producers and composers to explore and create with her signature sound world.
