Signalizer: Sidechaining update! Open-source & free audio visualization plugin (v. 0.4.3) 2016-04-16T15:07:21+00:00 Hey guys. Notice: Subscribe to the mailing list for Signalizer to get updates and discuss development of Signalizer here: http://jthorborg.com/mailman/listinfo/signalizerml_jthorborg.com TL;DR: - I'm looking for feedback on my new alpha beta plugin, see links at end of post. - Here's an even newer demo of the sidechaining feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TORrFOlvaHQ - Here's a new demo of the oscilloscope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHWDmufiohc - Here's a tour around the rest of the plugin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfyausOsFRs Background info Some of you may have seen me hanging around in the dsp-devs forums, where I maintained my last public project, Audio Programming Environment. I study sound design with a heavy emphasis on dynamic and interactive audio design. This led me down the path of programming plugins to accomodate my personal needs in production. Once in a blue moon, I produce something I consider to be usable by other people. I really enjoy the act of programming creative tools - but it takes time to learn to do properly. Signalizer, the plugin in question, has been my testbed for developing algorithms, methods, UI and whatnot needed for having a base for audio programs. About this project Signalizer is all about engineering-grade and -customization visualization of audio in real-time, with very fast response and frame rates. This allows immediate intuitive feel & look of audio, as well as very precise measurements for analysis. Now, there are a lot of signal analyzers out there. What differentiates this project? Interactive displays All UI and graphics colours changeable Vector graphics all the way Everything is smoothly variable and zoomable, no more fixed block sizes etc. Fullscreen hardware-accelerated graphics Sidechain from other plugin instances to compare, overlay and visualize many signals Being open source, the developer is mostly interested in implementing user feedback and requests Completely free & redistributable, no license/user sign-up, no e-mail spam no installation packages, completely self-contained A focus on creating general purpose visualizations without too much jazz, for i.e. VJ'ing All-in-one package for all your analysis needs (at some point) No load on the main thread Some feature highlights Vectorscope Built in 3D transformation Classic X/Y vectorscope ('lissajous') or 'polar' projections Balance and stereo correlation meters Spectrum analyzer Standard fft Custom developed filter bank with 'minimum Q' tuning, ie. optimizes frequency/time tradeoffs to something akin to constant-Q transforms, but much more natural Projections on to graphs or spectrograms Can design own dsp windows Together with all the classic channel modes (side/mid/left/parallel etc.), it shows precise phase cancellations in the spectrum as well Peaktracker Oscilloscope Inter-sample interpolation in different modes, including fluid lanczos Assortment of triggering methods like zero-crossing, spectral harmonic analysis, peak/enveloping and timing windows Time, cycles or beat/tempo mode Overlaid or separate scopes for each channel Waveform can be painted spectrally with custom colours for each band, with per-sample in-phase precision Adaptive grid adjustable in density Freely zoomable infinitely What I'm interested in One thing is feedback about the usability and purpose of the program, which is of course very welcomed - but also UI design, practices and the program as a package. Is there anything missing? Is the program easily usable? Is the text readable? Does the UI work as you expect, is it confusing to navigate - etc? Bug reports (stability is #1 concern right now) and feature requests is also very welcome. I developed the set of features I needed the most, but what do you guys need in this sort of program? Other than that, I hope you enjoy the program and are willing to contribute back or support the open source community with experience, code (or comments on) or feedback. I strive to program best practices, so if you notice something bogus let me know. Also, if anyone programs a cool preset please do share it :) End notes, links etc. You can find more information, source code and binaries on Signalizer's dedicated home page . Here's a direct link to an auto updated page of release binaries . The releases contain x32 and x64 versions of VST, VST3 and AudioUnits for OS X and Windows, as well as debug versions of previous. The debug versions contain additional info, that generates better debug output for reporting back bugs. The project is a massive WIP, but I wanted to get it out now to test out the UI and get some feedback on directions. I usually update and release fixes a couple of times a week, if I have the time. Inside the release you will find a small version log that lists the most recent changes. Otherwise, you can check out the revision history . Release notes Thank you for any interest Mayae https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=295503

The oscilloscope took quite a while, but it's done now. Right now I'm just wrapping up changes, implementing small feature requests, iterating on some early feedback (write me if interested in participating) and getting ready to release the new version

"Participating" as in "beta"?

Else... ETA for the public release?

As in, no strings attached + if you have some free time and want to check it out - no big corp here

Should be 2 weeks.

Came across this, excellent plugin so far. Looking forward to the updates.
Works super-fluently on my system with a custom GTX980.

Well, I decided the last version wasn't good enough. But these days I'm compiling the release versions, so it should be any time now

Two requests, please remove the '10.00' from the top left corner - it gets in the way when you increase the grid div. space.

When you load presets from the global setting, it would be great to remain area of the UI: to cycle through presets.

Cool looks. That reminds me I have to make colours-only presets

That annoys me as well, but I would have to make a bit more intelligent scheme for this, so that will be in a future cosmetic patch.

Makes sense, noted.

Hi guys, so I've been sitting on this update for a while but the oscilloscope is finally here!

An image says more than a 1000 words, so I stitched a lot of them together to form a video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHWDmufiohc

Here's the changelog for the patch:

0.3.2 RC (12/07/17)
Features
New+more presets, scaled down antialiasing defaults

Smoothing for the values in the frequency tracker in the spectrum, adjustable on the last page in the spectrum

Audio processing and 2D graphics run in parallel and vastly improves performance in certain cases
Fixes
Fixed bad recall of the vectorscope's window size parameter
Technical
Minimum VS dev environment raised to VS 2017

Minimum XCode dev environment raised to 7.3, implies El Capitan

0.3.1 (13/04/17)
Features
Option for auto-hiding widgets (frequency trackers etc.) when the mouse leaves the window

Double-clicking right mouse button switches freezing mode permanently, a single right click still only toggles freeze mode while holding down the button
Fixes
Colour knobs initialize properly to a preset's value (they would previously 'stick')

Fixed speed and update timings in certain cases in the spectrum, if diagnostics isn't enabled

RMS auto gain on vectorscope adjusted (it was errournously adjusting the gain too high)

0.3.0 (23/03/17)
Features
Oscilloscope implemented

Auto gain modes now work disjoint from the input gain, so you can adjust a gain offset while having auto gain

Main settings now contain options for disabling/enabling async audio processing, so you can choose between saving CPU or having all views in sync in freezed mode
Technical
Repo stripped of binaries, refs updated; reclone it

0.2.10 (8/01/17)
Features
Experimental Linux support
Fixes
Possible crash on OS X for machines with older processors

Fixed possible missing labels on toggled buttons
Technical
Minimum compilation environment on OS X raised to XCode 7.2

Compiles on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using Code::Blocks and distributed GCC, check repo for more details

This looks like a wickedly useful tool. I can see myself putting this to use. Thanks!
