TestGenerator (Cubase only)

This utility allows you to generate an audio signal, which

can be recorded as an audio file. The resulting file can

then be used for a number of purposes:

• For testing the specifications of audio equipment.

• For measurements of various kinds, including calibrating tape

recorders.

• For testing signal processing methods.

• For educational purposes.

The TestGenerator is based on a waveform generator

which can generate a number of basic waveforms such as

sine and saw and various types of noise. In addition, you

can also set the frequency and amplitude of the generated

signal.

As soon as you add the TestGenerator as an effect to an

audio track and activate it, a signal is generated. You can

then activate recording as usual to record an audio file ac-

cording to the signal specifications:

Parameter Description

Waveforms By clicking these buttons, you select the basis for the

signal generated by the waveform generator. You can se-

lect between four basic waveforms: Sine, Square, Saw-

tooth and Triangle, or three types of noise (white, brown

and pink noise – from left to right).

Frequency This controls the frequency of the generated signal, from

1Hz to 20000Hz.

Gain This controls the amplitude of the signal. The higher the

value (up to 0dB) the stronger the signal.
