Version 2.3 brings a massively improved software oscilloscope visualiser, several helper functions for Lua custom effects and files, and support for opening .wav and .aiff audio files!
As always, you can download it from the same link that you were originally sent by Gumroad.
New software oscilloscope visualiser
The new visualiser uses the same renderer as https://dood.al/oscilloscope (thanks @pishtaq for letting me use this!) which is widely regarded to be the best quality software oscilloscope.
However, osci-render's version comes with several improvements such as:
- Improved quality when full-screen
- Ability to change the intensity of the beam
- Control over the smudging effect applied to the image
If you find that you are having performance or stability issues using the new visualiser, you can always switch back to the old visualiser by going to View > Use Legacy Visualiser in the menu bar at the top.
.wav and .aiff audio file support
You can now open .wav and .aiff audio files in osci-render, allowing you to import audio from other software and apply osci-render's effects to it! This gives additional flexibility to the standalone app, where it was previously clunky to use with existing audio.
Lua helper functions
The new helper functions for Lua open up a lot more possibilities when making custom Lua files and effects. They simplify creating shapes and waves, and also allow multiple images to be mixed together using the osci_mix() function. Here's the full documentation of the new functions added: #249
