Flattening continuous data
Holding the Option key while using the Trim tool as
described above will flatten the data rather than scale it.

NEW PLUG-IN: TUNER
The Tuner plug-in is an accurate and easy to use tuner.
Detected frequency: fundamental frequency of the
incoming signal, in Hertz (Hz).
Detected note: note name and octave that correspond to the
detected fundamental frequency.
Meter: representation of the pitch difference between the
detected note and the detected fundamental frequency. The
horizontal position of the illuminated segments indicates
how far the detected frequency is from the detected note. The
number of illuminated segments indicates uncertainty or
inharmonicity in the signal; a greater number of illuminated
segments represents greater uncertainty. The color of the
segments changes gradually from green (in tune) to yellow,
orange, and red (progressively further out of tune).
Meter value: difference between the detected note and the
detected frequency, in cents.
Arrows: the direction in which the detected frequency needs
to move to match the frequency of the detected note. The
color of the arrows changes progressively in the same
manner as the meter segments. When the detected
fundamental frequency matches the detected note within
three cents, both arrows will be illuminated.
Reference frequency: sets the frequency reference for the
pitch A4, between 400 and 480 Hz. The default frequency is
440 Hz.The reference frequency can be adjusted in
increments as small as 0.01 Hz when Command-dragging
on the bar below the number.
Reference generator: generates a tone at the reference
frequency. Click the tuning fork button to toggle the
generator. Click and drag on the bar below it to adjust the
output level of the generator.
Tuning stereo signals
When tuning a stereo signal, the Tuner plug-in analyzes the
sum of the two channels. If the channels are not phase
coherent, the Tuner plug-in may not be able to measure the
frequency of the signal.
CUSTOM ’59: POWER AMP
A Power Amp stage has been added to Custom ’59, which
contributes to a more realistic amplifier model.
When Preamp is selected in the new Power Amp menu, only
the pre-amp stage of Custom ’59 is activated. When one of
the other settings is chosen, both the pre-amp stage and the
power amp stage are activated. Additionally, the Presence
control appears, which controls a progressive high frequency
shelf (Figure 19 on page 11).
