Where can I find this plugin for viewing FM activities?

[cowby]

Hi,

Sorry guys, if the title is a bit misleading!

I am using Bitwig & Live, is there a plugin (free or stock) can let me view the wave form changing where 2 OSCs FM'ing each other?

Simply put, I saw some youtuber playing a Sin wav from their VST and a plugin or tool can show a Sin wav shape. What's the name of that kind of plugin/tool.

Thanks!

If we're talking about waveshapes, the Oscilloscope is what you need.

But spectral content tends to be much more "revealing" than simply looking at waveshapes, and you're going to need a Spectrum Analyzer for that.

Both kinds should be included in your DAW, but there are going to be both free and paid alternatives if needed.

Bitwig's own synts - FM-4 and Phase-4 - have a display that shows all oscillators, envelopes and resulting waveform (click that small "window" icon in the bottom-left of the device), obviously you can also do that in Grid.

Here I'm first modulating OP1 with OP2, then with itself (OP1 feedback):

Personally I like Melda MOscilloscope for a scope, and Voxengo Span for a spectrum analyzer.

Spectrum analyzers are particularly nice for FM, since the sidebands that FM introduces are shown very clearly.

Thanks Gents! Oscilloscope in bitwig helps.
