RMS level meter Use the levelmeter~ when you need a signal level-meter with ballistics. The meter~ object provides metering in a simpler and more compact form. Cycling '74 MSP MSP U/I signal to be monitored TEXT_HERE volume unit (dB) TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Display and output the most recent RMS amplitude The RMS amplitude most recently calculated for an input signal is displayed and output by the needle of the on-screen level meter. Set and output a dB value An int sets dB value displayed and output by levelmeter~. Clear the memory The word clear clears the FB delay stage memory. Set the operational mode of the levelmeter~ object The word mode followed by an integer between 0 and 5 will set the operational mode of levelmeter~ as follows:
0 = "fast"(no ballistics or dB-offset)
1 = "VU" (attack = 330; release = 330; dB-offset = -20)
2 = "DIN 45 406(IEC PPM type IIb)"(attack = 10; release = 1500; dB-offset = -14)
3 = "BBC (IEC PPM type IIa)" (attack = 10; release = 3000; dB-offset = -14)
4 = "Nordic (IEC PPM type I)" (attack = 5; release = 2000; dB-offset = -14)
5 = "EBU Digital" (attack = 0; release = 1500; dB-offset = -14)
(Object defaults to "fast" mode.) Display the RMS amplitude of a signal The RMS amplitude of the incoming signal is displayed by the needle of the on-screen level meter. Object attack time The word attack, followed by a number, sets the levelmeter~ object attack time, in milliseconds. The default is 0. Background Color Sets the background color in RGBA format. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Lower “cool” range color Sets the RGBA values for the color for the lower “cool” range of the levelmeter~ object. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Hot Color Sets the RGBA values for the color for the hot “overload” range of the levelmeter~ object. Update interval Sets the update time interval in milliseconds, of the levelmeter~ display. The minimum update interval is 10 milliseconds, the maximum is 2 seconds, and the default is 100 milliseconds. This message also sets the rate at which levelmeter~ sends out the peak value received in that time interval. Marker Color Sets the marker color in RGBA format. The markercolor attribute is mapped to the accentcolor style color. DeciBel Marker Locations Sets the numerical location for markers in the levelmeter~ display (e.g. -60 -48 -36 -24 -12 -6 0 6 12). Number of Markers Used Sets the number of markers in the levelmeter~ display. Needle Color Sets the RGBA values for the color for the needle of the levelmeter~ object. The needlecolor attribute is mapped to the color style color. deciBel offset Sets the levelmeter~ object display's deciBel offset. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Display range Sets the display range of the levelmeter~ object. The default range is -40 dB to 12 dB. Release time (ms) Sets the levelmeter~ object release time, in milliseconds. The default is 0. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Style Sets the style to be applied to the object. Styles can be set using the Format palette. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Middle “warm” range color Sets the RGBA values for the color for the middle “warm” range of the levelmeter~ object. The RMS (root mean square) value in deciBels of the signal for the current update interval is sent out the outlet when audio processing is on.
