Rising This mode retriggers the display every time a waveform peak rises past a certain level.ĭrag the level slider (to the left of the display) to set the retrigger level above or below the zero crossing. This mode is useful if you only want to watch a certain part of a waveform. Values are measured in Hz, and retrigger rates range from as infrequently as 0.441 Hz to as often as 139.4 times a second. Internal mode retriggers the display at a frequency set by the Internal Trig Speed knob. Click the display mode button to cycle between the modes.įree mode is the default, and means that the display never erases and immediately starts writing again at the left as soon as the waveform reaches the right side of the display area.

See below for more details) to determine how often it erases the display and starts drawing again (retriggers).

S(M)exoscope has four modes (note that the modular version of the plugin has five modes. Simplicity itself: if your waveform is too thin, crank it up! Cut off at the top and bottom of the display window? Turn that amp down. The figure below demonstrates the differences between extreme time settings.Īmp controls the amplitude of the waveform in the display. When Time is set higher than 1, a blue waveform indicates that the resolution uses more pixels to draw each sample. At a Time of 1 or lower, a grey waveform display shows that more than one sample is compressed into each pixel. The waveform itself will change colours to indicate if it is above or below 1 sample per pixel. meaning that every pixel of length represents 1000 samples. The lowest value is 31.62 pixels to draw every sample, and the highest setting is 0.001. The lower the number, the finer the resolution of the waveform. Time controls the number of pixels per sample. For all those other times, well, it's very pretty to look at!īoth of these knobs control the oscilloscope display. Why would you do this? Well, why not? There are countless times when being able to see what your audio waveform looks like could be useful.
