The LED shows the current analysis status. If the LED is flashing, a tempo measurement
is taking place. When the LED is continuously lit, analysis is complete, and the tempo is
displayed. The measurement ranges from 80 to 160 beats per minute. The measured
value is displayed with an accuracy of one decimal place. Click the LED to reset the
BPM Counter.
Note: The BPM Counter also detects tempo variations in the signal and tries to analyze
them accurately. If the LED starts flashing during playback, this indicates that the
BPM Counter has detected a tempo that has deviated from the last received (or set)
tempo. As soon as a new, constant tempo is recognized, the LED is solidly lit and the new
tempo displayed.
Correlation Meter
The Correlation Meter displays the phase relationship of a stereo signal.
A correlation of +1 (the far right position) means that the left and right channels correlate
100%—they are completely in phase.
A correlation of 0 (the center position) indicates the widest permissible left/right
divergence, often audible as an extremely wide stereo effect.
Correlation values lower than 0 indicate that out-of-phase material is present, which
can lead to phase cancellations if the stereo signal is combined into a monaural signal.
Level Meter Plug-in
The Level Meter displays the current signal level on a decibel scale. The signal level for
each channel is represented by a blue bar. When the level exceeds 0 dB, the portion of
the bar to the right of the 0 dB point turns red.
Stereo instances of the Level Meter show independent left and right bars, whereas mono
instances display a single bar.
