Mac the Scope 4X 4.28 (Mac the Scope and Waavebox) Installer (Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.5)

Corrects an issue causing an unexpected quit in OS X 10.5 after changing the scope timebase (via the Time Base Expansion control). If you don't encounter this issue, or don't use the Time Base Expansion control, you don't need to install this update; a certain optimization has been removed compared to 4.27, and 4.28 will perform slightly more slowly than 4.27 on PPC machines.

  • Installer includes Mac the Scope 4.28 and Waavebox 1.73, documentation and support files.
  • Installs the time-restricted demonstration version. Unrestricted software is installed with this same installer and a Version 4.1 or later activation code. Note: an Internet connection is not required to install or run Mac the Scope.
  • Complete pricing and configuration information can be found at http://order.kagi.com/?UUJ.

System Requirements

  • Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) or Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) preferred. Compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.
  • 500 MHz or faster CPU. Sample rates higher than 48 kHz may require faster CPU.
  • Activation code, to install unrestricted (non-demo) version.

Important Information regarding the TechRTA iTunes visualizer plugin and iTunes 7

The iTunes 7.0 update has introduced several significant cosmetic problems in the display of the TechRTA visualizer and its preferences panel. Changes made by Apple to iTunes have resulted in compatibility issues with the TechRTA Visual Plug-in. The latest version of iTunes (7.5) has eliminated many of the issues, however.

To summarize:

  • The TechRTA Visual Plug-in has full compatibility with iTunes before iTunes 7.
  • The TechRTA Visual Plug-in will run on iTunes 7.5 (not other versions of iTunes 7), with the following limitations:

1. The preferences panel (Options...) of the TechRTA Visual Plug-in won't update properly when the tabs of the preferences panel are clicked. To see other options, first click the desired tab, activate the visualizer, then deactivate the visualizer.

2. The fullscreen display is interpolated from a smaller version, causing the text to appear jagged.

The TechRTA Visual Plug-in won't be recognized in iTunes running on an Intel processor Mac. We haven't yet finalized plans to update the plug-in to address this or the above issues, but expect to do so soon. Note that the visualizer as originally released has been compatible with iTunes all the way back to 1.0 (including Mac OS 9).

We urge customers to try the plug-in in Demo mode, to be certain that the performance is satisfactory on their system.

Audio MP3 Test Signal Files

Set your player to a low volume level before playing the files. Loudspeaker damage will occur if the volume is set too high!

1 kHz Burst: This is an MP3 file with short (100 millisecond), full-scale waveform pulses with a frequency of 1 kHz. Useful for comparing the transient response of the TechRTA plug-in to the iTunes built-in RTA. (Fast transient response is essential if the RTA is to track the musical signal in a meaningful way).

16 kHz Tone: This is an MP3 file with a continuous, full scale tone with a frequency of 16 kHz. Useful for comparing the frequency response of the TechRTA plug-in to the iTunes built-in RTA. (Extended high frequency response of the RTA is useful for examining the loss of high frequencies resulting from encoding MP3s at low bit rates). This file is bigger than the 1 kHz file because it was encoded at a higher bit rate (to preserve the 16 kHz!) :)
