I am new to SynthMaker and am wondering if anybody knows how to make a PPI display and also a waterfall display.

The PPI I am talking about isn't the radar with the sweep arm but the sonar scope that does a spiral, albeit a very tight and fast one. You don't see the actual spiral. I want it to display noise "spokes" at various bearings, based on noise inputs. I also want it to display a sometimes visible ring that expands out.

The waterfall display is simply a scope that has parallel beams, that sweep up or down, displaying echo returns.

As you may have guessed, I am going to see if I can simulate a sonar console.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
