Looking for a visualizationg plugin like Wave Candy in FLStudio

I was watching these Zebra tutorials from Jon Audio and he's using this plugin called Wave Candy that has a super precise spectrogram visualization.



Eg see the attached image of these organ like partials.

Is there any plugin that can do this?

I've tried SuperVision in Cubase but even increasing the FFT resolution to the max it's nowhere near as sharp.

Maybe demo DMG Audio's Trackmeter. It says it has chromatic tuning, but I could not find a video to see it in action.

Blue Cat Audio's Freqanalyst has a note detector, I believe (a bit shaky on that)--not sure how it is implemented relative to Wave Candy.

Thanks I was just looking at this. The spectrogram is not as sharp as Wave Candy though.

This is Vision 4X:

This is Wave Candy from the video I linked in my first post:

Damn: wave candy spectrogram looking like a MIDI editor in that shot :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
 
That bass is quite complex but you can still see the individual harmonics at the bottom (even with the low resolution of the video).

This is a saw wave with Wave Candy:

This is a saw wave with SuperVision at max FFT an max contrast

And when you start pitch bending, there's a lot of aliasing (even in a 4K monitor)

I don't have FLStudio but from that low res video, Wave Candy seems to display more detail even when bending harmonics of complex waveforms.

And this is Vision 4X

Ahh I see what you mean. There must be another one that is of similar quality

After googling a bit I've found people looking for a Wave Candy alternative for years... so apparently not.

FLStudio are probably faking the visualization somehow but damn it's so nice to see the spectral effects of Zebra.

Yeah that video is really good :emoji_thumbsup:
 
MMultiAnalyzer isn't maybe as nice looking, but there are parameters to tweak the image, and finding harmonics and what note each one is--that's pretty easy with this one.
 
I use Toneboosters Spectrogram everyday for work as a game sound design engineer. Works great for my needs, and its free. Allows me to quickly find the key / pitch of sound fx that need to match the key of the music. spectrogram.png
 
Thought I'd do this again, but with a more accurate falling ramp, from MSoundFactory, and also switching Super Resolution on for a second pass.
Still looks a little noisy compared to Wave Candy, but I don't have Zebra HZ to compare it with exactly the same waveform, so impossible to tell whether it's wave candy cleaning up the visualisation, or MMultiAnalyser accurately representing a less accurate waveform.
