The frequency will not be the same if you have a wave cycle multiplier in effect. The other alternative is if you have a frequency limit in place and the frequency has been raised or lowered to another harmonic to fit within the limits. It all depends on what frequency you are looking at on Spooky2 and the settings in use.
When I say it depends on what frequency you are looking at, I mean the original database frequency or what is shown in the Out 1 and Out 2 output panels in the channel control window.
Without knowing exactly what settings you were using, it is hard to determine the exact nature of your observation.
To highlight the wave cycle multiplier closer, if you say are using a Square H Bomb, which has as wave cycle multiplier of 16, in order to achieve the frequency, the generator will play the waveform at 1/16th the rate of the frequency you are targeting.
So if your frequency is 16000 Hz, since the waveform has 16 cycles built in, we will tell the generator to play it at 1000 Hz. 1000 x 16 = 16000 Hz – the frequency we are after.

Another reason the frequency can be different is if the Frequency Multiplier isn’t = 1 This setting is in the Options panel in Programs tab.
Cheers KArl.
Thank you. I’ll check my multiplier.
Well, that is at 1
Überprüfe die Frequenzlimits unten links in den Settings. Stelle probehalber alles auf 0. Frage aber auf jeden Fall bei Spooky nach ob du das dann so laufen lassen darfst, das weiß ich nicht.
I’ve got this problem with the FLEAS (R) – DB Preset. No matter what i alter in the settings TAB, I am still only getting 1/16 of the expected 2750 Hz frquency on the generator, which is of no use to me whatsoever. I have checked the multiplier and its set to 1.
Its becoming very frustrating trying to figure this out. I cant understand why a database frequency cannot be directly relayed to the generator XPro. Why are the frequencies in the preset not automatically set correctly for trasnalation to the generator. Also what exactly is meant by this statement ‘So if your frequency is 16000 Hz, since the waveform has 16 cycles built in’. Why is this so complicated when it needs not be ??….Pick a frequency, Pick a waveform, duty cycle and duration. What else is needed ?? Confused.com
Hello Philip, thank you for your question and sorry to hear about the frustration you’re experiencing.
The issue you’re describing with the FLEAS (R) – DB Preset seems to be related to how the generator handles the waveform cycles. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help resolve this:
Check Waveform Cycles: The statement “So if your frequency is 16000 Hz, since the waveform has 16 cycles built in” means that the waveform you are using may have multiple cycles within a single period. This can cause the displayed frequency to be a fraction of the expected value. If your waveform has 16 cycles, the frequency displayed will be divided by 16. To address this, ensure you are using a waveform with only one cycle.
Adjusting Waveform: Go to the Settings tab and select a basic waveform like “Square” or “Sine” with only one cycle. This should prevent the division of your intended frequency.
Confirm Multiplier: You mentioned the multiplier is set to 1, which is correct. Ensure no other multipliers or divisors are accidentally set in the software or the generator settings.
Recheck Settings: Sometimes, presets may have underlying settings that are not immediately visible. Double-check all tabs in the preset settings to ensure no unintended configurations are affecting the output frequency.
Manual Frequency Entry: If the issue persists, try manually entering the frequency, waveform, duty cycle, and duration directly on the generator to see if it bypasses the preset complications.
If you’ve tried all these steps and still encounter issues, it may be helpful to contact Spooky2 support directly or write a post in the forum here, as they can provide more in-depth troubleshooting specific to your setup.
I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out with any more questions or updates.
Good morning, as a beginner user and having read the manual (I am studying it little by little), it is not recommended to change the generator settings that are already pre-programmed. And I would not be able to do this for some time, at least until I can study it more deeply.
And I read a question from someone here on the page who says that the generator divides the frequency 1/16 and that he would like it to be emitted in full.
My initial question is about the effectiveness of the treatment with the waves described in the article. I am using the “Overall dental health” program and it is configured as described in the article. When it is 1/16, then is it enough to let the program run continuously for a week, for example, to get good results? Thank you very much for your help.
