auch is a gnuplot-like program to visualize harmonics and test the effect of digital and analog filters.

This tool was originally made to see what the SoundBlaster X-FI soundcard can do. I wanted to...

- Compare original audio (.wav files) with processed audio and see the effect of EAX and SVM,...
- See the difference between MIDI - and real instruments.

Displays and settings:

auch has a simply concept. There are four 'displays':

- display :0 Audio from a .wav file (left channel)
- display :1 Audio from a .wav file (right channel)
- display :2 The microphone (or audio-in) (left channel)
- display :3 The microphone (id.) (right channel)

What's New in This Release:
A sixth visualisation of harmonics in auch is the "IFS display".
It's a fractal representation of music, based on "Iterated Function Systems".
These IFS systems act as the "recipe" for a fractal derived from basic harmonic ratios: octave (2:1), perfect fifth (3:2), major third (5:4), and major seventh (~15:8).
This display allows you to zoom in on a slice of the sphere with the fractal image to show more details of that fractal.
