Frequency-Domain Graph
The most dominant display on the main screen is a large graphical area depicting
the audio frequency range of 20Hz – 20kHz arranged in logarithmic fashion with
gradations at selected frequencies. The scale of the vertical axis changes according
to its context.
Managing the Blue Dots – Tutorial
We’ve worked very hard on the design of the Wheatstone graphical user
interface to make it intuitive, friendly, and easy to navigate and interpret,
in spite of how many controls the user has access to.
Each of the processing section’s screens has a graphical area where
not only visual representations of processing activity are shown, but in
some cases individual adjustments of different sections of the processing
can be made.
All of the operating parameters of the five band leveller, compressor, and limiter
can be individually adjusted by manipulating the positions of various “Dots” on that
section’s graphical screen. Each “dot” represents one processing
“band.”
By double clicking a blue dot (to highlight it and turn it Red)
and then dragging it with the mouse a particular parameter for a
band can be adjusted.
By right clicking on the graphical display area with your mouse
the options on the right will appear:
By default, all adjusters (the blue dots) are
Grouped, that is they
are coupled to each other so that if you grab one with the mouse
(single left click and hold) and then slide the mouse up and down,
all blue points move up and down together.
When a blue dot is double‑clicked, it turns orange to indicate that it has been
selected. It then may be moved individually, and to anywhere along the vertical scale.
If another blue dot is clicked somewhere else on the line, it too will turn orange….
Now if you move the mouse to a point between the two dots selected in the above
steps, right click the mouse, and select
UnGroup Adjusters, all the dots between the
first two dots that were double clicked to turn them orange will also turn orange.
