Alt+click:
If you Alt+click on the "active" light of a module on the faceplate that module is made active (on) and all other modules are bypassed.
If you Alt+click on the mute ("M") button of a multiband that band is solo'ed.
If you Alt+click on a module in the preset system that module is made active and the rest inactive.
If you have a wheel mouse, you can adjust most controls (I/O gain, sliders, etc.) by simply positioning the mouse cursor over the control and rolling the wheel. If the wheel has no effect, try clicking on the plugin to make sure Spectron has the keyboard focus.
You can adjust the shape of selected filter bands with the wheel.
In the History screen, you can use the wheel to scroll through the History list.
Copy/Paste Support:
Right-click (under OS X you can also ctrl-click) on any slider to bring up a context menu allowing you to copy and
paste its value. You can copy/paste between sliders, even if the sliders are in
different instances of the plugin. You can also copy/paste between a slider and
a text editor such as Notepad in order to see the slider's value to a much
higher precision than the plugin displays.
Mouse and
Meters:
You can reset the peaks or averaging of the spectrum by clicking on the spectrum.
You can reset a meter's peak indication by clicking on it. You can also reset a level meter's clipping indicator by clicking on the clipping indicator (the red "over" light at the top).
