The included effect plug-ins
• The “Freeze” button can be used to freeze the display
for all three Scope modes.
Click it again to exit freeze mode.
Phase Correlator mode
To select the phase correlator, click the “Scope” button
so that it lights up. The phase correlator indicates the
phase and amplitude relationship between channels in a
stereo pair or a surround configuration.
For stereo pairs, the indications work in the following way:
• A vertical line indicates a perfect mono signal (the left and
right channels are the same).
• A horizontal line indicates that the left channel is the same as
the right, but with an inverse phase.
• A random but fairly round shape indicates a well balanced ste-
reo signal. If the shape “leans” to the left, there is more energy
in the left channel and vice versa (the extreme case of this is if
one side is muted, in which case the Phase Meter will show a
straight line, angled 90° to the other side).
• A perfect circle indicates a sine wave on one channel, and the
same sine wave shifted by 90° on the other.
• Generally, the more you can see a “thread”, the more bass in
the signal, and the more “spray-like” the display, the more high
frequencies in the signal.
When the MultiScope is used with a surround channel in
Scope mode, the pop-up menu to the right of the Scope
button determines the result:
• If “Stereo (Front)” is selected, the display will indicate
the phase and amplitude relationship between the front
stereo channels.
• If “Surround” is selected, the display indicates the
energy distribution in the surround field.
Frequency Spectrum Analyzer
• Click on the “Freq” button so that it lights up in yellow.
The MultiScope is now in Frequency Spectrum analyze mode, and will
divide the frequency spectrum into separate vertical bands, which allows
you to get a visual overview of the different frequencies’ relative ampli-
tude. The frequency bands are shown left to right, starting with the lower
frequencies.
• If the source signal is stereo you can now select either
the Left or Right channel for viewing, or Stereo for both
channels to be shown in the window. If it is a Mono signal,
this won’t matter.
• If the MultiScope is used with a multi-channel track or
output bus, you can select any speaker channel for view-
ing, or All Channels to view them all at once.
• Adjust the Amplitude knob to increase/decrease the
vertical range of the bands.
