you can run 4 or 5 instruments with no noticeable degradation in the graphics performance, and the graphics perfor-
mance is usually still acceptable even with all of the instruments enabled.

You can set up predefined groups of enabled instruments using the commands found in the group menu. This allows
you to quickly and easily “switch modes” as far as where your attention is focussed. Currently, instrument groups
only effect instruments in the consolidated Real Time Rack view described below.

SpectraFoo provides a two-channel consolidated “Real Time Rack” view that contains the all of the instruments in
one convenient window. When you use this view, the Spectragram, Spectragraph and Oscilloscope instruments have
linking buttons that allow you to either stereo link

the control parameters between the left and right channel

instruments, or to link

the control parameters of the Spectragram and Spectragraph of the same channel. These

linking buttons are very similar in concept to the link feature that appears on good-quality stereo compressors. For
example, the stereo link button on the Spectragraph allows you to ensure that both the left and right channel
Spectragraph instruments use the same frequency calibration. When instruments are stereo- linked, the parameters
for both channels can be controlled from either the left or right channel details window. These linking features are
currently only available in the Real Time Rack consolidated view.

Takes a snapshot of all of the current settings of the
power and solo buttons. A dialog box will appear allowing
you to name the group. When you name the configuration,
you may use the slash key (/) followed by the character of
your choice to create a command key to recall the group.
For example, you have a group you want to name
“My Scene”. If you type “My Scene/0” as the name, you
may recall this configuration by pressing 1-0.

from the menu. Click OK to delete - click cancel to abort
the delete operation.

These items make up the Group library. Items
