Help identify this spectral visualizer

[RJHollins]

ok ... had to post to the place with the smart people.

There is a 'spectral visualizer' that I'm trying to identify ... and looks quite cool for what it is.

The only display of it, is at the UnitedAudio [UAD] website, where they highlight their plugins.

Here's a link to one example
https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/equa ... ction.html

If you scroll down the page a bit, there is a Youtube vid that has this 'oscillator' type spectrum display.

If you were so kind to look at it ...

Anyone familiar with this display ?

Is there a VST version of it ?

If not ... might this be a Flowstone project ? [i've no idea how to do something like that].

Hey ... Thanks to anyone taking the time to check it out.

Sincerely,

RJHollins

I guess it was this?

Unfortunately I know little about anything. But maybe can get the discussion going...

Looks to me like a fixed regular spectrum display mapped onto a spline curve? With copies in less amplitude and then mirrored in Y negative.

Reminds me of alot of typical After Effects templates...

That would make sense since this UAD video is part of their marketing material maybe?

"If" they made that visualization in realtime code it might involve some kind of "spread spectrum" scheme. Visually spreading more narrow content signal to wider areas? Smoothing it out by the reduction of amp from spread (edit: but still mapped on to a spline).

Yeah I know. I talk way to much

This is the tutorial for AE:

But that doesn't help much in recreating the actual AE spectrum effect in FS...

Hi R&R ... wow, you found more than I was able to.

I watched the AF tutorial ... it was like Photoshop on steroids.

Your observation .... sounds reasonable

I just find this type of display they used very interesting. [and I have lots of analyzer plugins].

Thanks for taking the time, and sharing your insights ! Much appreciated.

I think I remember Grog putting up some spline examples [sure do miss his visits to the forum] ...

Anyway ... would be cool to have this as a VST.

Thanks again !!

It is... After Effects is very much like Photoshop but for post production editing of video/animation material.

It would be cool

I wonder how good FS is for complex or larger visualization though... performance wise. Maybe hogs to much CPU? But that might not even matter since the plugin can just be turned of when not using it.
