The new Spectroscope looks fantastic! Working great here on Win 11.

FFT window type settings are not needed for this Reassignment application. We used the one that gave the best results already, though the differences were small anyway.

Spent a lot more time with the new version yesterday. The Spectroscope really is amazing, I think the smoothest scrolling with most detailed info in the bass I have ever seen. A thing of beauty in full screen 4K on my 55" TV/monitor. Well done, and thank you. I watched the vid about Spectrograms too, very informative and always something I've hated about the one in RX Advanced (can't easily see the bass note frequencies clearly, no mater the settings). Superb work!

I'd like a few more colour schemes, my fave has always been the black/blue/red/yellow/white one you can see in RX. Simple B&W/greyscale would be cool too. Also, I know it's not likely as it's a real time tool, but the ability to load a whole track into it offline and be able to zoom in to parts etc. would be amazing.

No bugs noticed so far, X/Y mode on the Goniometer working great too.

Really great!!!! Amazing art of work. Really. Thanks a lot.

I love the green scheme of Spectroscope as it reminds me of old good times. And it works great along with Display range setting. Just important info is displayed and not so important hidden...

Great updates
perhaps a Listening function (a button for on/off listening mode),  to run only when audio signal pass thru.
And as already exists, the play/stop buttons available.

Of course, I'm aware of that. My buffer size is set low. What I mean there is that the delay of the spectrogram is very noticeable, while other instruments in digicheck are pretty much real-time. What I've found is that the FFT size helps with delay, with 4k and 2k being the only ones with manageable delay for me, with the trade-off being quite low resulting fidelity, especially in the low end. 8k and higher settings are way better, however the delay makes it hard to actually find the moment of the shown playback vs what's being heard.

Also, I feel like reference level could use more adjustment range. Playing -14 LUFS-normalised signal the -24dB reference level makes it sometimes barely enough to highlight the relevant parts of the spectrum. The 20dB jump in display range is also quite drastic outcome-wise, maybe 10dB step would be more useful?

I mean, I have nothing against the theory of colors. I'm just saying that maybe a different palette would work better, maybe something that isn't based on a single color, some kind of gradient spanning 2-3 colors like MiniMeters use for most of the themes maybe?

Ah, all clear on that front then. Probably the signal chain in that YT video had a high pass somewhere.

Thanks for the suggestions and comments. If that video is the upper one from the link, made by Techmoan - yeah, his setup with the Tectronix XY Scope had several errors, it seems. Also the original app and wave files run at 192 kHz sample rate, which gives best resolution visually.

Yes. For smaller NG window sizes it takes up too much space. Would be better without them.

The play head or draw head moves, (kinda like a radar), from left to right, instead of the whole background. Idea came from the spectrogram in the Foobar2000 audio player, where the options are between stationary or scrolling.

Yeah, second that! I spent some time yesterday setting up four separate windows with five different tools and saving it as a Workspace, but it's not as elegant (especially for full screen) as having it all in one window.

Nice additions thanks MC and team and an elegant solution in the spectroscope for lowest octaves display. All seems to be working well for me.

My #1 feature request would be access to some functions like peak reset via midi commands or even just a keyboard shortcut

X/Y mode is fun!! Thx for this!

Would it be possible to have more than four instruments at a time? My setup is vector scope + spectral analyser + 2 channel meter + R128. I'd love to add the Spectroscope but would have to forgo one of the others. Which for several reasons would impede my workflow.

Here comes beta 2 with a lot of the stuff asked for in above posts for the new Spectroscope:

Downloads

Windows with installer (required for updated help file). Mac just unpack and start the app, updated help is included.

hello mc, totally appreciated to see these initiatives!
i'm on a mac and the Vector Scope does not look as same as you post on the top post when i playback the oscilloscope music. the bicycle part for example it isn't as precise. when i compare it with the xy Lissajous mode with my standalone oscilloscope. the digicheck one seems to me like interpolation between samples or buffer blocks are not happening, i don't know. too many edgy line drawn than my Lissajous. i tried with other buffer size options. it would be super cool if i could replace my oscilloscope..
thank you again and looking forward to the further development on this!

thank you for the prompt reply.
oh i see. thanks for confirming. another thing that i noticed is some DC filter. in the oscilloscope music, there are quite a lot of arbitrary placed DCs in order to draw horizontal and vertical lines. they seem to have some trouble to draw on digicheck. i am using my fireface's loopback function. so the audio signal does not go through DA's DC filter, correct? wish you nice holidays! ps: artists like ryoji ikeda and carsten nicolai use vector scope for their music making as well. check it out! playing xenakis' upic piece with the new Spectroscope is super exciting as well.

Thanks for update. Digicheck is even better, now, then it has been before. :-)

Notenames are very handy and new colorscheme is even nicer than the green one. And stationary mode also has its use.

The VU meter channel name field appears the same for me as in NG 0.92 beta 2. I've tried reducing the font size but the number of characters stays the same. Is there anything else I need to do to make it work? I'm on windows 11.

Right-Click into the Program Meters Window - Appearance - Font Size Labels.
Works here without any problems on Win11.

Edit: fixed typos

That's what I tried but it doesn't work for me. The font size changes but the number of characters stays the same.

Nice! thank you for the update. I've been checking it out for the past few days but unfortunately the new beta constantly crashes for me. Is there a way I can provide logs or something? I don't really see a clear reason, the crashes happen out of the blue, the preview hangs and then the window closes itself.

Aside from the above, I really like the color changes and wider configuration options. The preview delay is still very noticeable at FFT sizes 8k and above, but thanks to the added tweaks 4k is way more readable now.

EDIT:
I've dug through the event viewer and found amd gpu drivers to be mentioned as the "faulting module". I then went into Adrenalin Control panel and disabled every gaming related feature (eg. Anti-Lag) specifically for digicheckng.exe and it's been working fine for the last 30+ minutes or so. Will keep an eye on it and report back if it'll reoccur again.

Yes it is 0.93 beta 2 (3). Unfortunately deleting lastState.Analyser.xml didn't fix the issue. https://imgur.com/vDqo2vp

yes, I have tried all these things. here is with the input channels- https://imgur.com/jPRj1Bl

Thanks! After using this version for a couple hours with the original gpu driver settings that caused the previous crashes it looks like it's not crashing anymore. I've noticed one thing though - I've left my pc idling for an hour or so with DigicheckNG open and processing, this seems to have caused some kind of processing issue - everything showing on the spectrogram was very delayed and repeating as well, switching processing off and then back on fixed it. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDNMyAv5uYQ

That's a very useful video! It shows that the lag is only in the Spectroscope. It also shows that after reset the speed changes (pixel/s). Thanks.

Working great with my 802 on Win10
