Signal spectrogram or sonogram spectroscope~ serves as a visual spectrogram or sonogram interface for the analysis of signals. Cycling '74 MSP MSP U/I Input signal TEXT_HERE Imaginary Signal (Inside pfft~) TEXT_HERE undefined TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Function depends on inlet In left inlet: The input signal is analyzed and its spectrum is displayed. If the object is placed inside a pfft~ object's subpatcher, the left inlet is used for the real signal coming from the left outlet of a fftin~ object.

In right inlet: If the object is placed inside a pfft~ object's subpatcher, the right inlet is used for the imaginary signal coming from the second outlet of a fftin~ object. When not inside a pfft~ subpatcher, this inlet does nothing. Background color Sets the Spectrogram Background Color of the spectroscope~ object in RGBA format. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Low and high domain (frequency) Sets the low and high domain (frequency) values. Foreground color Sets the Spectrogram Foreground Color of the spectroscope~ object in RGBA format. The fgcolor attribute is mapped to the color style color. Polling interval Sets the polling interval, in milliseconds. Amplitude display toggle Toggles between linear (0) and logarithmic (1) amplitude display. By default it is set to logarithmic display. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Log frequency display toggle Toggles log frequency display. By default it is off, but when turned on, the spectrogram or sonogram's frequencies are shown on a logarithmic scale. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Spectroscope marker color Sets the marker color of the spectroscope~ object in RGBA format. The markercolor attribute is mapped to the elementcolor style color. Monochrome sonogram display toggle Toggles monochrome display of the sonogram. When turned off, the sonogram display uses a series of five colors. Two-color sonogram display Sets a two-color sonogram display. This the default setting. Monochrome sonogram display Sets a monochrome sonogram display. Vertical/Horizontal spectroscope display select Sets the vertical or horizontal orientation of the spectroscope~ object. By default it is horizontal, which means frequencies are displayed along the horizontal axis and amplitudes are displayed along the vertical axis in spectrogram mode, and time is displayed along the horizontal axis and frequency is displayed along the vertical axis in sonogram mode. In vertical mode the axes are reversed. Horizontal display Sets the horizontal display mode for sonogram and spectrogram displays. This is the default mode. In sonogram mode, frequencies are displayed along the horizontal axis and amplitudes are displayed along the vertical axis. In spectrogram mode, time is displayed along the horizontal axis and frequency is displayed along the vertical axis. Vertical display Sets the vertical display mode for sonogram and spectrogram displays. In sonogram mode, frequencies are displayed along the vertical axis and amplitudes are displayed along the horizontal axis. In spectrogram mode, time is displayed along the vertical axis and frequency is displayed along the horizontal axis. Amplitude/Phase spectrum display toggle Toggles the Amplitude/Phase spectrum display. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Minimum/maximum amplitude display Sets the minimum and maximum displayed amplitudes of the spectrum. The default values are 0 and 1.2, for the minimum and maximum, respectively. If the word range is followed by only one number, then it is used as the maximum value, and the minimum range is set to zero. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Sonogram scrolling mode. Sets the sonogram scrolling mode. By default the sonogram scrolling mode is set to Forward Draw.
TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Toggles sonogram mode. By default the sonogram display is off. Toggles sonogram mode. By default the sonogram display is off (meaning it displays a spectrogram, instead). N.B.: Although the terms "spectrogram" and "sonogram" are generally used interchangably to refer to a graph of the spectrum over time, we are using "spectrogram" in its literal sense - to refer to the drawing of a spectrum as an amplitude/frequency representation. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the high audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the high audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode. Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the low audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the low audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode. Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the medium audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the medium audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode. Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the medium high audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the medium high audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode. Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the low medium audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode Sets the color in RGBA format used by the spectroscope~ for displaying frequencies in the low medium audio range when the object is in color sonogram mode. Sets the background color of the spectroscope~ display in RGBA format when the object is displaying sonograms in two-color mode Sets the background color of the spectroscope~ display in RGBA format when the object is displaying sonograms in two-color mode. Sets the foreground color of the spectroscope~ display in RGBA format when the object is displaying sonograms in two-color mode Sets the foreground color of the spectroscope~ display in RGBA format when the object is displaying sonograms in two-color mode. Style Sets the style to be applied to the object. Styles can be set using the Format palette. The frequency/amplitude content of the signal is displayed.
