class:: FreqScopeView
summary:: Frequency analysis view
categories:: GUI>Views
related:: Classes/FreqScope

description::
FreqScopeView shows the frequency spectrum of a specified audio bus.

note::

The scope will remain active after a command-period. To turn it off you must use the 'active' method.
Very important: You must run code::kill():: when the parent window is closed to avoid problems. It also frees the buffers that the scope allocated and stops the FFT analysis synth. So:
code::
(
w = Window("My Analyzer", Rect(0, 0, 511, 300));
f = FreqScopeView(w, w.view.bounds);
w.onClose_({ f.kill }); // YOU MUST HAVE THIS
w.front;
)
::

::


classmethods::

method:: new
argument:: parent
The parent view.
argument:: bounds
An instance of link::Classes/Rect::, or a link::Classes/Point:: indicating code::width@height::.
discussion::
Example:
code::
// Start server
s.boot;

// Create analyzer in a window
(
w = Window("My Analyzer", Rect(0, 0, 511, 300)); // width should be 511
f = FreqScopeView(w, w.view.bounds);
f.active_(true); // turn it on the first time;

w.onClose_({ f.kill }); // you must have this
w.front;
{ SinOsc.ar([500, 1000], 0, 0.25).mean.dup }.play(s); // start two sine waves
)
::

method:: response
Create a scope in a special frequency-response mode. This uses FFT-based spectral division to estimate the frequency response of some effect, on the assumption that the signal to bus1 is transformed to the signal at bus2 by some linear time-invariant process.
argument:: parent
The parent view.
argument:: bounds
An instance of link::Classes/Rect::, or a link::Classes/Point:: indicating code::width@height::.
argument:: bus1
The bus on which the "pre" signal is found.
argument:: bus2
The bus on which the "post" signal is found.
argument:: freqMode
Linear (0) or log(1) frequency mode. Defaults to 1.
discussion::
Example:
code::
s.boot

// basic usage. try these. Each one will open a new window
// move the mouse left and right to test response in different ranges
LPF.scopeResponse
HPF.scopeResponse
MoogFF.scopeResponse
BBandPass.scopeResponse
BLowShelf.scopeResponse // by default BLowShelf doesn't mangle much
Resonz.scopeResponse
BRF.scopeResponse
Integrator.scopeResponse
Median.scopeResponse // nonlinear, and therefore interesting

// customize the parameters for more informative scoping
{|in| MoogFF.ar(in, freq: MouseX.kr(10, 10000, 1),
gain:MouseY.kr(4, 0))}.scopeResponse

subsection:: Subclassing and Internal Methods

The following methods are usually not used directly or are called by a primitive. Programmers can still call or override these as needed.

method:: initClass
Sets the classvar, code::server = Server.default::.

method:: server
A classvar.

instancemethods::

method:: kill
Very important. This must be run when the parent window is closed to avoid problems. It also frees the buffers that the scope allocated and stops the FFT analysis synth.

method:: active
Turn the scope on or off.
argument:: bool
An instance of link::Classes/Boolean::.

method:: freqMode
argument:: mode
0 = linear, 1 = logarithmic.

method:: inBus
The bus to listen on.
argument:: num
An audio link::Classes/Bus:: number.

method:: dbRange
Get/set the amplitude range.
argument:: db
A link::Classes/Number::.

method:: special
Put the scope into a special mode using a user-specified link::Classes/SynthDef::. Note that only very particular SynthDefs should be used, namely ones that are derived from the code::\freqScope0:: or code::\freqScope1:: SynthDefs. Most users will not need to use this method directly, but it can be used to provide a customised analysis shown in the scope.
argument:: defname
Name of the link::Classes/SynthDef:: you wish to use.
argument:: extraArgs
Extra arguments that you may wish to pass to the synth.


subsection:: Subclassing and Internal Methods

The following methods are usually not used directly or are called by a primitive. Programmers can still call or override these as needed.

method:: start

method:: eventSeq

method:: cmdPeriod

examples::

code::
// Start server

// Create analyzer in a window
(
w = Window("My Analyzer", Rect(0, 0, 511, 300)); // width should be 511
f = FreqScopeView(w, w.view.bounds);

w.onClose_({ f.kill }); // you must have this
w.front;
{ SinOsc.ar([500, 1000], 0, 0.25).mean.dup }.play(s); // start two sine waves
)

f.freqMode_(1); // change to log scale so we can see them
f.inBus_(1); // look at bus 1
f.dbRange_(200); // expand amplitude range
f.active_(false); // turn scope off (watch CPU)
f.active_(true); // turn it back on

// Now press command-period. The scope is still running.

{ Mix.ar(SinOsc.ar([500, 1200, 3000, 9000, 12000], 0, [0.2, 0.1, 0.05, 0.03, 0.01])) }.play(s); // restart some sines

// Close window and scope is killed.
