VertexDSP

VertexDSP has released version 2.0 of MultiInspector, with new features and bug fixes.

MultiInspector now incorporates an FFT analysis mode with the following features:

• FFT sizes from 512 to 16384 samples.
• Several window options: Rectangular, Hann, Hamming, Blackman, Blackman-Harris, Flat Top.
• Instant display of the FFT result or smooth display according to the Attack and Release settings.
• Switchable semi-transparent display of the curves for easy detection of overlapping frequency ranges.
• The 3 already available display modes (H-Align, V-Align, V-Space) from the 31 band third octave analyzer are also usable for the FFT mode.
• The visible frequency range can be zoomed with the buttons at the bottom of the spectrum display.

Bug Fixes:

• Negative slope values caused the display of a constant level in third octave mode.
• Keyboard focus of the host is now retained after clicking inside the editor window (Mac only).
• Compatibility issues with systems running Mac OS X 10.3.

VertexDSP has released a product update of MultiInspector.

The update includes a new high-resolution mode for the low-frequency bands. There is a context menu at the top of the GUI to select between the new HiRes Mode and the old Eco Mode. The mode selection is shared across all instances.

Enhancements:

• Performance improvements
• Switching signals via solo/mute now displays the levels immediately without ramping up according to the Attack setting

Bug Fixes:

• Incorrect drawing of the GUI after loading a preset under certain circumstances
• Incorrect assignments of levels in low frequency bands if HiRes Mode is deactivated

VertexDSP has released MultiInspector V1.0 and MultiInspectorFree v1.1.

MultiInspector is a 31-band spectral analyzer designed to be used in a multitrack environment and provides an way for simultaneous spectral analysis of several audio signals.

The first instance of MultiInspector behaves like a standard 31-band spectral analyzer. Additional instances automatically send their spectral analysis result to all other instances of MultiInspector. By default, every editor window of MultiInspector shows the same content, but there are numerous options for customizing the display content so that different views of the audio signals can be achieved. After opening all necessary plug-in instances it is sufficient to leave just the editor windows open you really need. The width of the level bars is adjusted according to the current number of signals that are selected for display.

MultiInspector incorporates a standard third octave frequency analyzer. The centre frequencies of the bands are based on the ISO 266:1997 standard (20 Hz to 20 kHz). Pink noise will appear flat in the frequency spectrum with the default slope setting of 3 dB per octave.

MultiInspector supports up to 16 instances at any sample rate from 32 kHz up to 192 kHz. Read more…
