Hi everyone !

I present you my new Maxforlive device: Oscilloscope !



Description:


As its name suggests, "Oscilloscope" allows you to observe the incoming signal of the current selected track like a traditional oscilloscope would do. I didn't find a Max device doing it properly, so I made one.

One important point is that you’ll need ONLY 1 INSTANCE per session. All you have to do is to load the "Oscilloscope" device on the track of choice, open the floating window and configure his position and his size (it was originally designed to fit in empty, or not so used, boxes of Live, like the groove pool, overview or information ones). Once it’s done you can save it in a template, or as a preset, to avoid doing these steps the next time you'll start a new session.



Here is a list of the "Oscilloscope" features:


- ONLY 1 instance needed: « Oscilloscope » displays the signal, the name and the color of the selected track (even Master track),

- Floating window: zoomable, resizable, integrable in the Live environment,

- 5 presets slots to save and load user settings (mappable for recall),

- Pre FX / Post FX / Post Mixer: Input selector (affects all the selected tracks),

- Lock: displays only the signal of the selected track when closing the padlock,

- Left / Mono / Right channel selectors + Unlink/link Left & Right channels button,

- Phase Shift Visualization: The "Left channel" is the reference,

- 2 synchronized modes based on detected pitch values: Auto (custom time based synchronization, n*T (periods) ) & Manual (horizontal zoom),

- Filter (LPF) parameter to limit the bandwidth and avoid artifacts/ get a cleaner signal display. To get best stabilization results, try to not filter out lower than the lower frequencies of the signal you want to observe,

- Monophonic Pitch Detection display (thanks to "sigmund~" by Volker Böhm),

- « Vertical Zoom Slider » and Reset button,

- « Curves Thickness Slider » and Reset button,

- Dark / Bright Background,

- Freeze Button,

- Decay: this value defines the time that the curves take to disappear,

- Direction (Up & Down): changes the start direction of the curves,

- Show / Hide Parameters: Click on the opened eye to close it and make most of the parameters disappear,

- Live window Auto-Refocus (thanks to « live.front » by 11olsen), this avoids having to click twice on the Live window to recover focus,

- Push2 optimized.



The main purpose of this device is to allow you to observe, in real time, the way in which audio processing affects your signal. It works best with clean and individual sound (like bass, synth, etc…) but can also do a pretty good job on all sort of stuff from the time « Oscilloscope » can perform the synchronization.



In your downloaded Oscilloscope 1.00.zip file you’ll find:

- Oscilloscope.amxd

- Oscilloscope (docked).amxd

- A folder called « Package (Live 11 ONLY) ». Inside this folder you’ll find a video file !!! Installation !!! and a package ARFAL - Oscilloscope. This package permits to integrate "Oscilloscope" and "Oscilloscope (docked)" in the “Audio Effects” section , in the “Utilities” folder. This is experimental so PLEASE follow carefully the “!!! Installation !!!” video and install at your own risk !

By the way, this account is new because I wanted to separate my profiles, but I'm also here as @ANTIMONOS ;)

 

is there a way to try it , or at least a video demonstrating it

 

I'm making a promo video but my skills at it have to be improved so it takes a bit long to finish it... but it's coming
You can download the "Oscilloscope (docked)" version for free !

 

Really cool, however, I had stability problems with m4l plugins on legit Ableton. Is this your first device?

 

That's the first one I sell, but I got a dozen almost ready to be sold (by the way, I'll try to make a free version for each because I know what it is to not having money...). It works perfectly here on my different computers with legit ableton 11.0.12 too (even on beta 11.1b7, you can download the free "Oscilloscope (docked)" version of it try if it works well on your computer.

 

Running Ableton 11.0.6 on Windows 7 (64 bit). It crashes Ableton whenever I drag and drop Oscilloscope (docked) onto a channel.

You're the 1st one saying me that... Is there a reason why you didn't update to the last version (11.0.12) ?
I PM you to solve this !

You're talking to someone who's still running Windows 7 here. If the version I use works and there aren't any features I need in the new version, I just tend to leave stuff alone.

OK. You don't need me to answer this same question there, do you?

 

My bad I did it before PM you ;)

 

Mine is crashing too, I am using 11.0.11 Ableton 64x.

 

I PM you !

 

Glad it's not just me and my set-up.

 

I'm on it !

That's very strange, these devices was tested by Windows users too... I would like to know if it's something specific to few Windows users or most of them...

 

interesting device - works fine for me (docked version)
- i'm on macOS 11.6 & Ableton 11.0.12

looking forward to buy the full version. =)

 

Thanks ! Glad it works fine for you ! Actually the crashing problem should affect only few Windows users.

 

I almost forgot but you can watch this video on my facebook page: https://fb.watch/9mR_yG4KSw/
The device wasn't finished but almost it just lacked the stabilization filter

 

I don't use Ableton but I'm happy you all have something like this now. So many sound designers are going to love this.
Good luck on your startup!

 

i observe the same behaviour. win 7 64 bit, live 11.0.11. the device is visible in live's device, than instant crash :-(
btw, your gumroad page... the feature list, the text behind the bullets. dark gray text on an even darker background? ive to click'n'draw to select, otherwise its unreadable :-(

 

Interesting ! Here is what I have, I find it pretty readable Actually it looks like there is a problem with the CSS code in gumroad, I note that, thanks for the feedback !

Concerning the crash I PM you !
