Hi All

I have been messing around with unkargherth's led meter and have produced a horizontal version reminiscent of one in Reason.

OSM

VST

One strange piece of behaviour is that when I tested this with a constant 0 db tone in Cubase, with VU selected I had to boost by a further 4dB before my led meter registered at 0 db. For the RMS th boost had to be about 3 db. I was expecting the meter to hit 0db with a constant 0 db test tone. Am I off base or do I need to tweak Unk's marvellous module?

Peak mode seems to work just fine.

Hi BasherT,

this looks cool man! Thanks 4 the OSM

Will test it soon... What a tone did you use for adjusting?!

SUNsynth

Edit: 1st Tip: Use a Selector in the Master-Meter-Modul after the three little metermods... The Multiplexer don't kill the unused... So this needs more CPU-Power!

Thanks for the tip about multiplexors Sunsynth. I didn't know that about them. I will replace them with selectors tonight after work and repost the OSM. BTW the multiplexor comes from Unk's original OSM and so your tip will apply to that also.

The test tone I used was a 2khz tone from this site.

Very nice basherT 😀 .

I like the small size, makes it a lot more usable. cheers.

regarding the db being off for RMS/AVG, theres a module in there called "Amp2dbr" where the db scales get divided by a different constant for each mode, maybe they are slightly off?, i would tweak them a bit anyway and see if that makes a difference.

cheers 😉
