Peakmeter Spectrum component, Peakmeter and spectrum analyzer plugin Options

[foo_pm]

Foo_uie_peakmeter_spectrum is a foobar2000 plugin that combines a peakmeter with a spectrum analyzer. It requires Columns UI and is the successor of foo_uie_peakmeter. The component can be used as a peakmeter and/or a spectrum analyzer.

Todo:

• adjustable sensitivity and refresh time
• zoom in/out by left/middle click
• relative paths to the images
• additional window functions
• bar mode for the main bar gradient
• optional autosize mode for the spectrum analyzer main bar size
• "falling peaks" with customizable fall speed
• adjustable dB range steps (LED style)
• backgound picture and/or transparent background
• clip indicator with one or more adjustable db-values and assignable colors
• input assistance for the spectrum analyser bar labels

Hi, foo_pm! Thank you for another great visualization plugin!

And now just one feature request to your to-do list. It's a... separated 'orientation' setting for each of peakmeter and spectrum analyzer.

Thanks for the suggestion! But i don't want to implement something like this cause it's unfortunately too time-consuming.

Looks much better than the default one, but I have one issue with it, I can not seem to be able to remove the black border at the top and bottom.

I want it to fill the entire panel I am running it in.



Hopefully there is a way around it or it can be fixed.

Thanks for you excellent work anyway

Thank's! It's fixed. You can get the new version here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=546448. Additionall, new window functions are implemented.

Well, maybe manual, but with an optional "automatic" button that would handle everything if the user decides to and has enough CPU power ?

OK.... i will give it some more thoughts.

Thank you.

3. I know this might be a 2.0 feature, but it would be nice to separate the channels (e.g. show L peakmeter, L spectrum, R peakmeter, R spectrum).

I remember your post. But until now no decision has been made.

Well, if it can help the decision, I'd like that too.

Damn ! I was really hoping for that one. More precisely, what I was hoping for was not an orientation setting, but this :
(1) A symmetric layout for L spectrum / R spectrum :
=> Example :[L spectrum 20.000 --- 20 Hz] [20 Hz --- 20.000 Spectrum R] in the same row, not one over the other of course
(2) The possibility to add the peakmeter wherever we want (or at least between the two L and R spectrums) :
=> Example : [L Spectrum 20.000 --- 20 Hz] [L / R PEAKMETER HERE] [20 Hz --- 20.000 Spectrum R]
Can you imagine this totally symmetrical layout ? It would be REALLY beautiful !
(yeah, I like symmetrical things )
Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you! I will take this into consideration. But I think i need to concentrate on other suggestions like adjustable sensitivity and refresh time first before something like this could be implemented.

Don't know what this "window function" accuracy setting does and have no time to find this out, but thanks!

kudos, very well done! looks great!

Thank you!

I'd also like the ability to auto-fill panel, including the potential to automatically adjust number of bands/fft size/spacing to achieve the auto-fill.

The fft size will be no part of the autosize algorithm. Maybe the number of bands.

edit: Did you write the DSP math (fft, window function, etc) yourself?
any chance at releasing source code? pretty please? Might get some people to implement features and submit back to you (hopefully you've got some version control going, even if local)

The most part of fft based on popular algorithms. The window functions are only mathematical formulas. So only performance aspects have to be considered. It’s not something special. If i don't got the time or losing interest to perform maintenance, i will release the source.

Very nice plugin. But what I'm missing, is the possibility of transparent background.

Thank you! It's already on the todo list.

My 2nd problem is, that the plugin doesn't rezise, when I change the width of my foobar window...

It's also on the list.

Thank you foo_pm! Your plugins rock.

This is my simple yet useful layout on white background

Nice config!

This is the best spectrum visualization plugin. But transparancy is missing to be perfect.

Thank you!
