I hope Mayae will continue to develop it. Been a while since an update was provided. Such a beautiful and helpful visualizer...

This is a great plugin for analysing audio signals!
Thank you!

Although Janus (Mayae) kindly explained to me that he is now focused on other projects, I have been testing Signalizer for a while now. I had some stability issues (W10) at the beginning, but after setting clearly the presets to use everytime the software seems quite stable. I miss the UI was a bit more intuitive, and the colour specifications more flexible. Also miss more standard axis gridding and scaling.

I find it a tremendously educative tool working in conjuntion with synthesis VST's to learn a lot about what's really going on under the hood (basic waveforms, armonics, filtering, modulation, DAC theory) and not just learning by ear and test/error. The ability to freeze periodical signals and the hyper fast visual renderings make it a joy to use.

Regards

So the software is now declared "abandoned"?

Pity... I really enjoyed using it (on Windows at least, the times I used it on a friends rig in LPX, it did crash hard macOS several times - even sometimes corrupting projects) and it had a lot(!) of potential with so much more room for more (see FRs from previous pages).

I use it everyday, since it's on my default project/initial template and usually kept in mostly when dealing with external gear

Hi, came across this great free software. It's great ! You should keep developing it. i understand other priorities for your life. That is really important but try to keep this gem. it´s really good.
All the best

Best free visualizer. I shake my head when I see others use inferior products like s(M)exoscope.

Greetings! Has anyone had any luck recently getting this to work on Bitwig + Linux?

I tried adding the most recent Linux VST binary (v0.3.2) to the relevant directory monitored by Bitwig.

Initially Bitwig appeared to detect that the plugin was a VST3 plugin, and tried to load it as a VST2 plugin, and failed.

I reorganized the directory structure a bit to mirror other working VST3 plugins, e.g.:

Code: Select all

Now, Bitwig successfully detects that it is a VST3 plugin, however, it still fails to load successfully:

this is VST2 plugin, so put all content of the zip into ~/.vst (or where you're keep them)
but it works on Linux very unstable for me

Just tried it a bit. It looks nice.

One question, though (probably just something I overlooked):
- On the scope, what is the best way to capture the leading edge (the attack) of a sound?
