Are there any Freq./Spectrum Analysis devices for Pulsar?

A place to talk about whatever Scope music/gear related stuff you want.

Check http://www.steckenleiter.de for a huge collection of devices, you´ll find some analyzers there, too. But unfortunately there´s no really professional analyzer like the one that comes with the original tripleDAT´s FX bundle...

I found that analyzers and the quite slow graphics of the pulsar surface generally don´t go together too well. There are a few better analyzers around for VST though. Just connect your output to a special ASIO dest. channel which handles the analyzer only. Might be more satisfying that way.

OK, thanks.
That's a bummer!
What VST plugs can you recommend like this?

The few freebee's I've found work fine but they do not offer the range of features of the old 3DAT device. I am also looking for a solution.

Here's a dumb question from a neophyte: it's not possible to load and run a VST effect or device without Cubase or Logic already loaded, right? I mean, I can't go out a buy VST plug-in's and expect to run them under Pulsar control unless I have Cubase or Logic already installed, right?

There's a free analyser here, high DSP usage
and not being easy to read count against it,
but hey it is free.

If aVST analyser is your thing: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepage ... hitehurst/

Krizrox Yeah you need a VST host like Logic or Cubase to run VST plug's

you could use simple vst host, but i believe it is in experiment phase.
i use Paul Kellet's wavetools which are standalone and require mme driver.

I found a pretty decent and nice looking "almost" free sonogram and spectral analyser : it works as a Winamp Plugin, cost 10 USD, and I feed it using the free "Line In" plugin for winamp so you can feed anything realtime into winamp for analysis (no need to do a wave file to analyse, and you can route the LineIn plug to any of your wave-dest devices, so I Plug this on my main mix/monitor outputs (there's an easy configuration script):

** sonogram : http://spectool.mastak.com/
** Line In plug : look into winamp.com "input plugins".

Some picture cause i like them :

you have different color option and a spectral analyser too, with very high resolution and resolution options.

You can resize the window as you like.
It has a latency of 1 second here approx, but i think it can be tweaked.
(and i don't work for them! :wink:

Code: Select all

line://dev=2,title=Stereo (dev 2),hideformat
is what i wrote in winamp "open url" to have the Line In plug work on wave-dest-2.

today i have searched a spectrum analyser for mac os 9 and i find a this link (not a freeware)
http://www.elementalaudio.com/products/ ... index.html
it works perfectly and it shows a graph from 10hz to 20KHz cool and simple interface.
It takes me lot of time to find it i though that there is more products like this but it seems that it is not so much develloped (other links maybe on akai pro or NI) in creamware i find nothing strange ?

I use Spectrogram which is REALLY GOOD and gives you all kinds of zoom-in options. Uses wave drivers. http://www.spectrogram.com

hi, i personally use the inspector from elemental audio. It's fantastic and it's free! It's VST though.

Is that the right link, Shayne? All I could find on the web site was:

"Environmental Sensing and Monitoring Systems for Oil Detection and Identification"

Royston

edit: sorry, I missed coc999's post! :-/
