GSat+ is derived from the saturation module on the TBProAudio CS5501V2 channel strip plug-in, but adds extra features requested and suggested by the Gearspace.com team. It has several different saturation modes, high tweakability, oversampling, old-school VU meters and cross-platform software compatibility – as well as a button to take you directly to Gearspace.com in case you need any tips, tricks or inspiration or want to swap presets with other users.
Features:
Saturation with three different “tube-based” character modes
The PC based Soundcard Oscilloscope receives its data from the Soundcard with 44.1kHz and 16 Bit resolution. The data source can be selected in the Windows mixer (Microphone, Line-In or Wave). The frequency range depends on the sound card, but 20-20000Hz should be possible with all modern cards. The low frequency end is limited by the AC coupling of the line-in signal. Be aware, that most microphone inputs are only mono.
The oscilloscope contains in addition a signal generator for 2 channels for sine, square, triangular, sawtooth wave forms and different noise spectra in the frequency range from 0 to 20kHz. The signal can be defined by a mathematical formula as well. The signals are available at the speaker output of the sound card. These can be fed back to the oscillocope in order to generate Lissajous figures in the x-y mode.
Features:
Trigger modes: off, automatic, normal and single shot
Triggerlevel can be set with the mouse
The signals of the two channels can be added, subtracted and multiplied
x-y mode
Frequency analysis (Fourier spectrum)
Waterfall diagram (frequency spectrum as function of time)
Frequency filter: low-, high-, band-pass and band-stop
Cursors to measure amplitude, time and frequency in the main window
Audio Recorder to save data to a wave file
For multi soundcard system, the used card can be selected in the settings tab
An open-source lyrics plugin for foobar2000 that includes its own UI panel for displaying and sources for downloading lyrics that are not available locally. It is intended to be a replacement for LyricShowPanel3 so it is fully-featured and supports lyric searching, saving and editing directly from within foobar2000.
Features:
Buttery-smooth lyric scrolling (either horizontally or vertically)
Supports retrieving lyrics from local files, ID3 tags or the internet
Customise the font and colours to perfectly suite your layout and theme
Easily edit lyrics directly inside foobar2000 with built-in support for timestamps
Check the saved lyrics of any track in your library (whether it is currently playing or not)
Apply common edits (such as removing blank lines) in just two clicks
Application which detects musical notes from the microphone. It allows listening to the microphone and play the detected notes to output (in MIDI). Multi-language support.
FreqTweak is a tool for FFT-based realtime audio spectral manipulation and display. It provides several algorithms for processing audio data in the frequency domain and a highly interactive GUI to manipulate the associated filters for each. It also provides high-resolution spectral displays in the form of scrolling-raster spectrograms and energy vs frequency plots displaying both pre- and post-processed spectra.
It is an extremely addictive audio toy, but I hope it has value for serious audio work too (sound design, etc). The spectrum analysis is pretty useful in its own right.
A foobar user interface element providing a seekbar that displays the waveform of the playing song, compatible with both the Default and the Columns interface components.
Play a track and allow the waveform to generate; it may take a few seconds on first playback
Options:
Match pattern Title-formatting pattern used to identify tracks when storing and reusing generated waveforms.
Use custom colors Enables manual color selection for the waveform instead of using the active UI theme colors.
FPS Sets the frame rate for waveform rendering. Higher values produce smoother movement but increase CPU usage.
Waveform scale Controls vertical scaling of the waveform. Original preserves natural peak levels, while Normalize scales all tracks to fill the available height.
dB scale Switches between linear amplitude scaling and logarithmic decibel scaling.
One mouse wheel notch seeks ahead/back Defines how far playback jumps when using the mouse wheel over the waveform. A value of 0 disables wheel seeking.
Reversed Reverses the mouse wheel seek direction.
Track to prefer when showing waveform Determines which track’s waveform is displayed: the playing track, the selected track, or the playing track with fallback to selected when stopped.
Cursor width Adjusts the thickness of the playback position indicator.
Do not revert to rendering the active track on player start Prevents the waveform from automatically rendering on startup until playback begins.
Always show cursor Keeps the playback position marker visible even when playback is stopped.
Abort seekbar generation when speed drops below real time Stops waveform generation if decoding becomes too slow, preventing playback or UI performance issues.
Half wave mode Displays only one polarity of the waveform (typically the positive half) instead of mirroring the signal above and below the center line. This creates a flatter, denser display that works well in very short or narrow panels and improves readability when vertical space is limited.
Draw window border Enables or disables a border around the waveform panel.
Transparent background Removes the panel’s background fill so the waveform blends with the surrounding UI or theme. This is useful when embedding the minibar into tab stacks, splitters, or custom layouts where a solid background would look out of place.
This component is highly configurable, making it suitable both as a simple compact seekbar replacement and as a detailed visual waveform display in more complex foobar2000 layouts.
A handy little tool which provides all the information about measure, time, sample count etc that most hosts usually hide somewhere in a tiny little part of the screen. Transport is resizable and you can pick your own colours. Ideally, you’d drag it onto an external monitor in your 1000 square feet wooden studio and make it fullscreen so that your recording artists always stay oriented, but it works in smaller settings as well ;-). Made upon request by a DDMF user, we thought this gem is too good to not make it available for everybody. Transport is available as a 32 and 64 bit plugin in VST, RTAS, AAX (Win + Mac) and AU (Mac) format. MacOSX 10.6 is required.
Not just another EQ: with its custom-made 4th order IIR filter, ColourEQ sounds unlike any other EQ you have ever come across. It comes with five bands of ”super parametric” peaking filters, which means that there is one more parameter in addition to the traditional gain/width/frequency set that can influence the curve shape. These shapes cannot be reproduced by ordinary IIR equalizers. Further features include: adjustable GUI colours, freely resizable window size, internal 64 bit processing and low CPU usage. Available in Windows VST (32/64 bit), Windows/Mac RTAS and Mac VST/AU format (Intel, OSX 10.5 and higher).
