Introduction

S2L EQ / Spectrum displays a real-time equalization and visualization of the audio signal [i.e., audio spectrum].

Effect Settings

This MADRIX 5 Effect uses the following, individual controls:

▪Colors - Opens the Color Gradient to specify the colors. The default color is Red, Orange, Green.

▪Drop - Defines how quickly spectrum bars are not displayed any more and drop out of the matrix [in %]. The default value is 50. Valid values range from 1 to 100.

▪Fade - Defines how fast MADRIX 5 displays the effect. This value represents Beats Per Minute [BPM]. The default value is 3000. Valid values range from 1 to 3000.

▪Width 1 - Defines the first size of spectrum bars depending on the direction [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default value is 0.1. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.

▪Pitch 1 - Defines the first distance between spectrum bars depending on the direction [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default value is 0.1. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.

▪Width 2 - Defines the second size of spectrum bars depending on the direction [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default value is 100. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.

▪Pitch 2 - Defines the first distance between spectrum bars depending on the direction [in % of the Matrix Size]. The default value is 100. Valid values range from 0.01 to 100.

▪Display Range - Defines the extend of the effect across the matrix, creating empty space when adjusting the minimum and maximum accordingly. For radial directions, it defines the inner and outer radius. For non-radial directions, it defines the start and end of the bars. The size ratios are kept and the effect is not simply cut off but displayed contracted. The default values are 0 and 100. Valid values range from 0 to 100.
Note: Color Mode Matrix is applied to the Display Range and not the entire matrix. In this way, the color gradient always fully stretches across the displayed effect and is not cut off.

▪Freq. Range - Defines the Frequency Range. Allows you to limit the displayed range of frequencies. For example if the audio input does not cover lower or higher frequency ranges, you can make sure that the effect still covers the full matrix by cutting those lower and upper frequencies off, i.e. the defined range is rendered across the entire matrix. The default values are 0 and 100. Valid values range from 0 to 100.

 

Note: S2L EQ / Spectrum will interpolate frequency bands if the number of bands exceeds the set frequency range for an improved visual result [instead of duplicating available bands].
