Topic: DigiCheck NG 0.91 macOSX / Windows beta now available for preview
DigiCheck NG 0.91 is now available as beta/preview for Mac and Windows. These are the news:
- New instrument Totalyser. No joke, and of course it isn’t really new, but…Although one can assemble the former DIGICheck Totalyser in a 3-pane window easily, our Totalyser has become a kind of go-to tool and was exceptionally popular. The added instrument Totalyser now offers an easy and more quick to set up starting point, with all crucial information in just one window, or better pane. Thanks to the multi-pane structure it is – of course - possible to add other instruments beside the Totalyser as well.
This instrument also has its own Settings box with all three instruments (Analyzer, Level Meter, Vector Scope) in one dialog. It has more options and features as the former version, matching the extended functionality of NG instruments. And it adds the large box of level meter data readouts that was not available before.
- New Appearance parameter Large: This dialog for specific text sizes now also controls the ‘readout box’ (or table) under the Vector Scope in Totalyser, as well as the one in the R128 instrument. Changing the text size ‘Large’ will rescale the readout text accordingly.
- New instrument Oscilloscope. It comes with the whole feature set of a real DSO (Digital Storage Oscilloscope), like Trigger Level, Auto/Normal/Single Shot option, and many more. Additionally it supports up to 8 channels simultaneously and has advanced features like adjustable afterglow and Live Update trigger control (see included help for details).
Here is an example of capturing the impulse response of a single sample impulse:
And this one shows all 8 channels in action.
The controls seen in the screenshot can be made invisible in the DSO Settings, minimized to one line with the upper left chevron, and will automatically reposition to the bottom when the window size is changed accordingly.
Obviously using an oscilloscope for music makes not much sense, as most of the time one just sees random stuff. Even as ‘something there indicator’ any level meter would be better suited. But being able to see the current waveform does make sense in many specific cases (check sine for overload, check current waveform), and also is a blast for synthesizer guys (Superbooth here we come!). And set to 100 ms/div and Live Update active, we're getting close to a permanent level tracker...but that might be a story for a future update 
- The included help has been updated as well. Check it out!
