Global Bars

Navigation bar

The Navigation bar appears at the top of all views. As well as links to different editor views and to the preference, it also offers you the possibility to mute and unmute rooms.

The status and help bars appear at the bottom of all views. It gives information about the status of audio connections, sample rate, block size and through latency. Some inline help also appears here when the mouse moves over elements of the SPAT Revolution graphical user interface. The Provide feedback button sends a message directly to FLUX:: Immersive support which automatically includes your system information for our support team.

Status bar

The status bar helps you easily monitor many critical information about your hardware and your incoming or outgoing audio stream.

Input stream

Allows monitoring of the good reception of audio through LAP. + When “No connection” is displayed, this means that no SPAT Send plug-in with LAP enabled is seen by SPAT Revolution. + When a connection is validated, it should provide a timecode, corresponding to the DAW transport position. + If the sample rate or block size is unmatched between SPAT Revolution and the DAW used, the “all in sync” mention will turn red and count the sync errors.

Hardware device

This section helps you monitor your audio hardware and how it interacts with SPAT Revolution.

You can see the name of your input & output device.
The block size and sample rate of SPAT Revolution.
The whole latency of the system. This depends on the block size and on the selected audio interfaces. Using different audio interfaces can result in higher latency.

Timecode source

Here, you can choose which timecode SPAT Revolution should look at.

By default, it is set to “Absolute”. It refers to the clock of your computer, no matter the connection with an audio interface or with LAP streams.
“LAP Send” looks at the clock provided by SPAT Sends plug-ins.
“LAP Return” looks at the clock provided by SPAT Returns plug-ins.
“Audio hardware” looks at the clock provided by the selected audio interfaces.

Timecode

Let you monitor the timecode seen by SPAT Revolution. For proper operation of snapshots and automations, it should be always running.

Clock source

Choose what clock SPAT should follow. + Internal. + Hardware. + Auto: use hardware if one is connected.

Support

Allows to send feedback to the FLUX:: Immersive support team.

Note

With Send/Return plug-ins, if the sampling rate and block size between DAW and SPAT Revolution are different, the status bar will be red. Double-click on this bar to automatically change them into SPAT Revolution.

Snapshot bar

This toolbar has been designed to help to handle snapshots without navigating to the snapshots page. Some of the most important snapshot actions will be found on it: * Recall the Previous snapshot. * The name of the Current snapshot. Clicking on it will display the snapshot list, enabling to recall any snapshot of the list. * Recall the Next snapshot. * Update the current snapshot. * Enable or disable the Relative Recall. * Propagate values between snapshots.

This bar can be hidden on the snapshot panel of the Preference page.

Note

More information about snapshots can be found on the [snapshots page -@snapshot].

Transport bar

The transport bar allows to access to the recording feature of SPAT Revolution. It is possible to write the audio stream going through any blocs (except for the sources) to audio files.

It is possible to launch the recording by clicking on the “Record” button in the transport bar, located at the bottom of the user interface, or using the shortcut “Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+R”. The session must have been saved to enable the recording. Otherwise, a popup will appear asking to save the session. Closing the session, deleting a block, or dearming a block will automatically stopped the recording.

Media stream bar

This bar provides information about the recording blocks, the file names and path, the elapsed time of recording, the number of channels recorded, and more. It will be automatically displayed when arming a block. Also, it can be shown/hidden via the menu “View/Show media stream”, or via the shortcut “Cmd/Ctrl+Alt+Shift+O”.
