Phase Modules

The modules in this category allow you to visualize the phase or directional relationship between the channels of the audio signal.

The following modules and module-specific settings are available:

Phasescope

This module uses a vectorscope display to show the phase and amplitude relationship between the left and right stereo channels. This provides you with directional information about a stereo audio signal.

Hold Shift and move the mouse pointer over the display to measure the angle.

The following module-specific settings are available in the Module Settings window:

Zoom

Allows you to zoom in the graphical display.

Note

Alternatively, you can move the mouse pointer over the selected module and use the mouse wheel to adjust this parameter.

Auto Zoom

If this button is activated, the zoom factor is adapted automatically.

Mode

Sets the display mode. The following modes are available: Lines, Dots, Envelope.

Peak Fallback

Sets the speed of release for the peak envelope in Envelope mode.

Note

If this control is turned all the way to the left, the peak envelope is disabled.

Scale

Activates/Deactivates the axis labeling.

Note

This option is only available if Auto Zoom is deactivated.

Panorama

This module uses a polar coordinate display to show the phase and amplitude relationship between the left and right stereo channels. This provides you with directional information about a stereo audio signal.

The following module-specific settings are available in the Module Settings window:

Zoom

Allows you to zoom in the graphical display.

Note

Alternatively, you can move the mouse pointer over the selected module and use the mouse wheel to adjust this parameter.

Auto Zoom

If this button is activated, the zoom factor is adapted automatically.

Mode

Sets the display mode. The following modes are available: Lines, Dots, Envelope.

Peak Fallback

Sets the speed of release for the peak envelope in Envelope mode.

Note

If this control is turned all the way to the left, the peak envelope is disabled.

Scale

Activates/Deactivates the axis labeling.

Note

This option is only available if Auto Zoom is deactivated.

Multipanorama

This module provides you with frequency-dependent directional information about a stereo audio signal.

The following module-specific settings are available in the Module Settings window:

Time Smooth

Sets the time for which an energy impulse is displayed.

Bands/Oct.

Sets the number of bands per octave.

Color

Allows you to choose a color scheme.

Correlation

This module visualizes the phase-correlation between the left and right channel. This allows you, for example, to check the mono compatibility of a stereo recording.

The following module-specific setting is available in the Module Settings window:

Time Smooth

Smoothes the temporal display of the correlation.

Note

Alternatively, you can move the mouse pointer over the selected module, hold , and use the mouse wheel to adjust this parameter

Multicorrelation

This module visualizes the phase-correlation between the left and right channel for different frequency bands.

Move the mouse pointer over a bar to display its frequency range in Hz. Hold Ctrl/Cmd to display its current value. Hold Shift to display its pitch range.

The following module-specific settings are available in the Module Settings window:

Time Smooth

Smoothes the temporal display of the correlation.

Note

Alternatively, you can move the mouse pointer over the selected module, hold , and use the mouse wheel to adjust this parameter

Bands/Oct.

Sets the number of bands per octave.

Balance

This module visualizes the balance between the left and right channel.

The following module-specific setting is available in the Module Settings window:

Time Smooth

Smoothes the temporal display of the correlation.

Note

Alternatively, you can move the mouse pointer over the selected module, hold , and use the mouse wheel to adjust this parameter
