MAAT Incorporated has released Gōn, a cross platform goniometer plug-in for visualisation of digital audio signals.
Gōn is free software that replicates an analogue oscilloscope display with little complexity. This ‘phase scope’ plug-in quickly conveys global trends and potential trouble spots, with a visual out-of-phase warning. In addition, an optional, adjustable auto-gain feature ensures a usable display with a wide range of input amplitudes.
Unlike an oscilloscope, which takes up room in the studio, Gōn’s lack of any knobs or switches means its straightforward, resizable user interface contains a single button, the Preferences gear icon. Control over gain, focus, ‘phosphor’ colour, drawing style and persistence are all adjustable, and can be saved as a personal preset. All of Gōn’s visual monitoring is wrapped in an information-rich yet visually unobtrusive user interface that occupies little screen real estate. Likewise, the plug-in is ‘lightweight’ in
‘Gōn – rhymes with phone – is easy to use and provides a lot of information all in one place,’ says MAAT President, Friedemann Tischmeyer. ‘We have tuned the ballistics to correlate the visuals with what you are hearing, while keeping CPU useage to a minimum. As a bonus, we’re giving it away to help make your work day better.’
Sample rates up to 384kHz are supported for postproduction of true HRA PCM workflows. The plug-in is delivered in all modern formats, including cross-platform AAX, VST 2 and VST 3, as well as AU for macOS.
Gōn is the second of MAAT’s products to be built as a Universal Binary 2, ready for Apple’s next generation of silicon. Along with full functionality demo versions of their other products, the no-cost Gōn is available from MAAT Digital on the web.
