    I'm currently working at the component level on the driver circuit (full-wave rectifier with RC element) – specifically, simulating diodes, capacitors, and resistors. My goal is to finally replace the dummy circuit in VU Meter 2 so it behaves as intended.

    What do you think – does it make sense (apart from response and RC time constants) to offer component parameters for adjustment?
    Things like settings for forward voltage, diode knee, leakage, tolerances, DC filter, etc.?

    This would give users who are interested the ability to essentially "swap out" diodes and capacitors, allowing them to get even closer to emulating their own analog VU meter. It would allow for the simulation of VU Meters from high-end to low-grade... Too much? Or Cool?

    Please, let me know!

    Here are the measurements with my set default settings:

    Plugin is in alpha phase. When VU Meter 2 has successfully passed the beta phase, then potentially yes.

    Anyone here fluent in C++ or Rust? :winker::rofl:
