Hello Martin.
Ok, thanks, I will study all your notes.
WYL (Write You Later).

You can use a "tfft" from component palette tab "Math" which has no MSEsignal
interface. An example is here:

What do you mean with "1, 2, 3, 4 trick"?
FFT means "Fast Fourier Transform":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Fourier_transform
an efficient special case of DFT:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform
Discrete Fourier transform -
Wikipedia<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform>
en.wikipedia.org
In mathematics, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) converts a finite sequence
of equally-spaced samples of a function into an equivalent-length sequence of
equally ...
which is a sampled form of the continuous Fourier-transform:

I don't know if it is possible to do precision tuning measurement with FFT. I
fear not.

The fft component of MSEgui uses the FFTW library as backend:
http://www.fftw.org/
For realtime applications probably there are better solutions. For an audio
spectrum display a filterbank probably is better suited because an FFT has a
linear frequency scale and for audio one needs a logarithmic scale.

It is visible in white noise mode. With crest factor 1 the sample values are
in range -1..1, crest 2 -> -2..2 and so on.

It averages the spectrum values in order to show the "db/octave"
characteristic of the noise.
