    There's always just a blank/black screen

    Same--nothing but a black screen for me too. Windows 10/Live 11

    Awesome concept but the window appears as just black even after messing with the parameters. A fix would be appreciated!

    very cool, thanks.
    However:
    - 1st start -nothing, just black screen, even with audio input level set to max.
    - had a Ableton crash when trying to remove the device from Ableton
    - opened it in max and found the slider adjustment by scale 0. 127. 0. 0.2 - after increasing the last argument to 0.5 it is working
    - having the meter~ as part of the visualization would help for black screen situations to understand (i did this for my copy)
    System: Ableton 11, Max 8 on Windows 11 (all up to date)

    Hi from Bern, Switzerland. I have to say a big big thanks for your amazing work with the surface 2.0 visualizer. Very precise and versatile visualizer. I was searching a long time to find a tool like this. If we take some time and gonna check out the parameters in the patch area, you're able to tweak this analyzer exactly for what you need. Keep on the good work man...

    Can someone help? i tried to use this device on the main channel and the monitor window stayed black no matter what i did. I tried to change color of the "body" using the body color feature but still black screen. I noticed that if i drag the mouse on the black window a grid appears that makes possible to see a black shadow moving, so i'm assuming that is the wave that should be seen but still i was not able to figure out how to change its color. Someone on the comments suggested to tweak some parameters but i'have never used max so if someone could help it would be amazing. Thanks!
