The frequency analyzer in Renoise is very nice. I use it all the time at highest resolution (16384 block size / logarithmic scale).
Only the bass area resolution seems to be a bit unprecise. If you compare it to other analyzers, e.g. you won’t see clearly a falloff of sub basses while using an high pass. The curves are quite inexact in the low end.
Can you improve the resolution for the bass area, so that in logarithmic view, the resolution is just as fine as in high freq area? Are the analyzer bands/points logarithmic in logarithmic view, or linear just as in linear view? That wouldn’t make a lot of sense… Right?
Also a speed setting between “fast” and “instant” would be nice, imo. Using “instant”, the falloff doesn’t seem to be interpolated anymore at all, which looks kind of ugly and stuttering.
If I play a sine over all octaves watching it on a logarithmic scaled analyzer view, the low frequencies will be displayed much more wide and will become thinner for each upper octave.
If the analyzed freq points would be placed also in logarithmic gaps, wouldn’t the sine displayed with same width/precision on each octave?
EDIT: I wrote rubbish. Renoise’s analyzer is advanced over other analyzers (maybe only not below 100Hz). Actually it seems to be the best analyzer that is available on the market What I would love is a zooming function where you select an area in the analyzer, so the freq-wave is expanded in amplitude and the 16384 FFT bands are used only for a selected area, so providing more precision! This + a falloff setting between fast and instant would be a incredible solution.

What settings do you use to get a good view of bass? I’ve been messing with it but can’t come up with anything good…
If I play a saw wave at E2 it just looks like mush on the analyzer. If I play it at E4 then I can see all the harmonics no problem.
I’ll take a screen shot later if it helps… but I’m just curious what settings people are using to get a precise look at bass. I want to see individual harmonics playing a saw wave at E2…
