Alright Gang, I see how the meter works and it should do what we're
aiming for. Below I have pasted the help section on the tone meter, but
I need to say something first about the properties button. I use
window-eyes and had to reclass the custom control as it is, according to
the class box, an image button. Once you click button for the class, all
of the buttons show up properly as properties buttons. I'm not a jfw
user but I assume there is similar behavior? If you're not sure how to
do it, routing your pointer to the control just after the tone meter
selection combo box and left clicking will get you into the windows for
each meter to be set.
And now, as promised, here is the help page for the tone meter. I'm
having a bit of trouble with some of the combo boxes to read their
titles, but I haven't as yet played with this tone meter as I write
this. Please don't hesitate to email me offlist and I can pass
suggestions on to the developer.
Tone Meter Properties
Location: Right-click, Properties command on Tone Meter visual in
Control
window
The Tone Meter
visual plays a tone and displays a solid colour based on the peak
amplitude of the
waveform.
Shared
playback quality must be selected to allow the visual to generate tones.
The properties include settings for four tiered tones. Each tone has a
different
trigger level, frequency, waveform, and colour. The level value sets the
upper limit
to trigger the tone. The tone is used only if the peak amplitude is
below or equal
to the given level. If the peak is above that level, then a tone with a
higher level
is used. Each level must be higher than the previous level, so the
trigger for level
2 must be greater than the trigger for level 1, etc.
Tones are played at a fixed interval. Tone interval
changes the time between tones. By default a tone sounds once a second.
Duration sets how long the tone plays. Volume
changes the volume of the tone.
Sound tone only when Scroll Lock key is on
provides a quick way to turn on and off the tone by using the Scroll
Lock key on
the keyboard as a toggle switch.

Well, the audio meter isn't quite useful in this version. What I was
aiming for was a tone that would let you know if your levels were
getting too hot. This is more of an indicator, but it's a start, it's
the foundation of what I'm initially after.
