I’m looking for something with the dimensions and orientation of the NYSTHI Single Slim VU Meter which is handy for a lot of things besides audio, but I’m hoping to find one that behaves like one of the ten meters in NYSTHI GraphicMeter, for CVs and such
No VU ballistics, no RMS timing, no non-linear transfer function, nothing like that. Just have the height of the bar be directly proportional to the signal level.
With, say, a steady 5V input, the Single Slim VU Meter is pinned. On an AS MonoVUmeter, 12 out of the 15 dots are lit. Both of those do their own jobs and do it well. On the NYSTHI Graphic Meter the green bar is exactly half-way to the 10, which is good, but it takes up a lot of real estate if you want the meters to be immediately next to the module you are monitoring.
Some of the optional modes in NYSTHI GraphicMeter (“unipolar” and/or “absolute values”) are nice though.
For now, I’ve been using “Single Slim VU Meter”. The Peak Hold bar is somewhat useful for monitoring triggers too.
I’m not sure what you mean by “feature creep” in this context, because my wish is for a less sophisticated meter.
Unless you mean that the existing meters have too many features that cannot be turned off. Then yeah.
As far as the notion of using the VCA for a meter goes, I’d call that “emergent gameplay”.
Bingo. Like a single one from the GraphicMeter, turned vertically.
As it is, it’s handy for multiple outputs of one module like a Sequencer or Shift Register, but for many modules spread all over the place it results in a lot of cables dangling everywhere and you lose the visual connection.
Count Modula “BAR GRAPH” - Could it have a 1HP option?
Yes. From there click on the nysthi repository. From there click on issues. You enter a new issue there. But you need to sign up for a free GitHub account to do that.
Woo-hoo!
NSYTHI Single Slim VU Meter v2.0.10 does exactly what I wished for now, and more.
VU ballistics turned on or off, and a couple of voltage ranges to choose from.
there is also the new PolyVoltageMeter that is exactly the same
but using a poly cable and can present til 16 meters in small space
very good for examining voltages (or audio signals) in poly cables
