Scope

The Scope shows the real-time waveform coming out of Rift, which is known as an Oscilloscope, and a visual representation of how the positive and negative effects are combined, which we call the Distortion Scope.

Together, these visualizations provide insight into what the algorithms are doing and how the distortion and drive parameters affect the waveform.

For both Scopes, the waveform above the horizontal Blend line is the Positive Type, and below it is the Negative Type. The combined waveforms will look different depending on which Blend Mode is currently selected.

Distortion Scope

The Distortion Scope shows what the current distortion and drive settings will do to a 0 dB sine wave. It is unaffected by the feedback, filter, and output modules. This is useful for showing how the waveforms are blended, since the Oscilloscope display is often more complex, especially when the feedback and filter are active.

Oscilloscope

The Oscilloscope shows Rift’s final output. This is useful for seeing how the signal is being manipulated and making informed decisions when changing parameters.
