Waterfall Spectrum Display

[oskarsh]

@HISEnberg Thank you.

So after trying different optimizations like bg tasks and more efficient path drawing algorithms I could not solve this and gave up. I think there is something wrong within HISE since it work on most systems but not for 10% of windows users.

I just have another version ready that I hand out to the few people that are having issues now.
Its not a scalable approach but I hope that someone smarter than me can figure it out :))

This is only for wavetables though, not audio spectrum in general?

Did you ever find out about this?

Can it be used to display audio spectrum data?

Or is just for Wavetable Synth?

(Haven't updated yet so I can't test. Building HISE on my machine is a nightmare! )

All the information I have is in this thread :)

Just for wavetable synths.

A display to show morphing through a wavetable.

So, is there any chance you can add it for frequency spectrum as well?

+1 for that!

[Christoph Hart]

no, this would not be possible for a realtime spectrum, it renders the background of the waterfall once as image and then just displays that.

A realtime component would get something like 1-2fps.

@Christoph-Hart

The waterfall effect in the Frequency Spectrum is trendy these days.

The image below is a reverb, not wavetable synth. It would be really cool if this feature was added.

@Christoph-Hart performance is actually quite good on my M1 Macbook with my renderer.

There are some optimization tricks by dropping some points on the path and actually fit the path to the available pixels.

There is a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7a0_8WUcWI&t=470s

@resonant already possible check the video. plugin made in hise.

@oskarsh yes of course it's somehow possible to render stuff like this in realtime, it's just not what the waterfall display is made for.

This looks like 16-20 paths. The waterfall display can render 500 paths at once to make a proper 3D shape without that visible grid.
