Description

Spectrum Analyzer S8 is a multiple-track real time spectrum analyzer. It lets you visualize the spectral content of 8 stereo tracks simultaneously. You can use it as a frequency overlap detector and actually see which part of the spectrum every single instrument uses. The ideal solution for mixing!

- The M4L version is inspired by the Standalone version, which went 17th place of 55 devices in the Kvr's DC12 (www.kvraudio.com, Developer Challenge 2012): http://www.kvraudio.com/product/spectrum-analyzer-s8-by-kevink

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Usage:

S8 is actually very simple. You have 3 modules: send, receive & receive (floating). Put the S8_Send module as an insert in each channel you want to visualise in the spectroscope (which is in any "receive module"). Once you have done that, you need to select a send for each track: you do this by clicking in the numbers (1-8) of the S8_Send module. Each of them have a distinctive color so you can recognise the channels in the spectroscope. Finally go to the Master track on your session and add the S8_Receive module as an insert to visualise the spectrums. Enjoy!

- Change GUI.

- Added a Fill/Don't Fill Waveforms button.

- Added labels to write what is showing each waveforms (saved with session).

- Added a slider to set the polling interval of the Spectroscope.

- Added a fixed dB and hz visualisation (hz visualisation is only shown when Spectroscope range is 0-22050).

- Fixed dB visualisation: was showing from -45dB to 0dB, now goes from -70dB to 6dB.

- Fixed Log/Linear button.

V.1.4:

- Updated to Live 9.

- Now S8 is post-fader.

- Added a "Show Parameters" button (On/Off)in S8_Receive module.

- Added descriptions in Live's Info View.

V.1.3:

- General code clean up.

- Fixed an issue with the frequency display.

- Change GUI.

- Built a module that is only a floating window with the spectroscope.

V.1.2:

- Added an always-stay-on-top button for the external window.

V.1.1:

- Added buttons to control parameters in the external view.

- Added a detailed display of frequency and amplitude in both views.
