Hi all,

Could somebody please provide some assistance with using "Wave Display"? I would like to be able to plot the waveform, of say, the example synth that comes with SynthMaker. I've found a few mentions of Signal Analyzer on the forum, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work, and I found this thread saying to use "Mono To Graph" instead of "Poly To Graph"...

[old link]

...but I don't seem to have a "Mono To Graph". I have the latest release of SynthMaker, so I don't know why that is. So how do you plot some arbitrary waveform in "Wave Display"? And how do I get a "Mono To Graph?"

Thanks,

Welcome to SM!

Some components are still classes as R&D, these are configured to be turned off intially, from the preferences menu you can switch them on.. There you'll find those missing..

Poly2Graph only shows what the first 2048 samples of poly audio would be following a note on.. Mono2graph can be used to continually monitor a mono audio path..

The wave Display module in the controls isn't a GUI element so can't be used as such, I can't remember rightly if their is one, if not try using the one in the wave draw module..

Have fun! 😀

Cheers

Ah, got it. Unfortunately, it still isn't working for me...From the image in the other thread, I think this is what I'm supposed to do, right? Why am I not getting a waveform in the display?

hmm...not sure how to do that, either...sorry, I'm a bit new... 😉

Thanks, Tom

try to disconnect the upper blue wire from the synth to the StereoClip and connect the out of the MonoToGraph to the StereoClip instead, so the signal chain is synth->MonoToGraph->StereoClip. (At least this works for me)

It looks to me like you've connected the Trigger output of the Ticker25 to the Graph input of the Display - when in fact it should be connected to the Trigger input of the Display 😉

heh heh, care to point at the trigger input of the display on his schematic 😉

It doesn't have one. just graph and float .. and Malc has indeed indicated that the trig should be connected to the graph input in the thread linked

from the original thread...

malc wrote: Ok, I've had a look now Shif. The Poly To Graph component only calcluates the first 2048 samples, hence the static graph. What you need is the Mono To Graph. Ok, so you're not looking at mono but it will still work for poly (this should really be stream to graph).

When you connect the graph output to the wave display you'll need to hook up a Ticker25 to the wave display's graph input as the Mono To Graph only updates the graph data, it doesn't send a trigger.

Here's an example:

Note that when a Mono To Graph is in a poly section you will only see data for the first channel.

to the thread starter ... have you down,loaded the schematic that is linked at the bottom there?

Okay, yeah that works for me. Is there any way to get the graph not to normalize the values, though?

Heh...nope, I missed that 😮. That one works for me too, but the values also appear to be normalized...

Out of curiosity, is there a way to put a waveform graph like this on the front panel of an effect?

Thanks, Tom

On the Wave Display module you can input a float to specify the +/- range..

The wave display doesn't work in a GUI/front panel though..

This does though 😉....

http://magalov.myweb.hinet.net/toolkit/WaveView.osm

It takes mono input and draws wave..

Number of points and colour scheme are adjustable from the properties.. This has just been extracted and doctored from the current wave draw module..

Wow, that's awesome. Thanks, man!

My bad 😊
