Advanced peak meter

With Digital Peak Meter Pro you can monitor both the RMS and peak value, thanks to the real time display of the envelopes. You can also record these envelopes as automation curves in your favorite host, as well as the transformed envelopes that you can totally control and monitor with the 'amount' and 'offset' parameters.

On top of that you can also send MIDI CC messages following the envelopes and transformed envelope in order to manage any parameter of any plug-in or external MIDI hardware with the envelopes of the audio signal. Thanks to these new real-time capabilities, you will now also be able to use it live: let the drummer control the frequency of the guitarist's wah-pedal, mute the singer during the bass solo...
