It consists of a kslider objectĬontrolling the frequencies of four different MSP objects: cycle~, Objects that allow you to plot signal data along the way. We'll introduce these oscillators here, briefly looking at a couple of On their own, and they are quite useful for creating richer sounds that can be shapedīy filters. MSP has a number of oscillators that create more complex sounds Most of the synthesis work we've looked at thusįar has involved working with sinusoidal oscillators (the cycle~) object,Ĭreating complex spectra through different types of modulation synthesis (e.g. This package permits to integrate "Oscilloscope" and "Oscilloscope (docked)" in the “Audio Effects” section, in the “Utilities” folder.Now that we are familiar with some basic types of filters, we can think aboutĭifferent sounds to use with them. Inside this folder you’ll find a video file !!! Installation !!! and a package ARFAL - Oscilloscope. A folder called « Package (Live 11 ONLY) ». In your downloaded Oscilloscope 1.00.zip file you’ll find: It works best with clean and individual sound (like bass, synth, etc…) but can also do a pretty good job on all sort of stuff from the time « Oscilloscope » can perform the synchronization. The main purpose of this device is to allow you to observe, in real time, the way in which audio processing affects your signal. Live window Auto-Refocus (thanks to « ont » by 11olsen), this avoids having to click twice on the Live window to recover focus, Show / Hide Parameters: Click on the opened eye to close it and make most of the parameters disappear, Direction (Up & Down): changes the start direction of the curves, Decay: this value defines the time that the curves take to disappear, « Curves Thickness Slider » and Reset button, « Vertical Zoom Slider » and Reset button, Monophonic Pitch Detection display (thanks to "sigmund~" by Volker Böhm), To get best stabilisation results, try to not filter out lower than the lower frequencies of the signal you want to observe, Filter (LPF) parameter to limit the bandwith and avoid artifacts/ get a cleaner signal display.
2 synchronized modes based on detected pitch values: Auto (custom time based synchronization, n*T (periods) ) & Manual (horizontal zoom), Phase Shift Visualization: The "Left channel" is the reference, Left / Mono / Right channel selectors + Unlink/link Left & Right channels button, Lock: displays only the signal of the selected track when closing the padlock, Pre FX / Post FX / Post Mixer: Input selector (affects all the selected tracks), 5 presets slots to save and load user settings (mappable for recall), Floating window: zoomable, resizable, integrable in the Live environnement, ONLY 1 instance needed: « Oscilloscope » displays the signal, the name and the color of the selected track (even Master track), Here is a list of the "Oscilloscope" features: Once it’s done you can save it in a template, or as a preset, to avoid doing these steps the next time you'll start a new session. All you have to do is to load the "Oscilloscope" device on the track of choice, open the floating window and configure his position and his size (it was originally designed to fit in empty, or not so used, boxes of Live, like the groove pool, overview or information ones). One important point is that you’ll need ONLY 1 INSTANCE per session. I didn't find a Max device doing it properly, so I made one. I present you my new Maxforlive device: Oscilloscope !ĭescription:As its name suggests, "Oscilloscope" allows you to observe the incoming signal of the current selected track like a traditional oscilloscope would do.
