• Power History: The Power History ribbon is an overview history of the PPM and RMS meters. The Details
readout will track the Peak and RMS levels for the part of the display which lies under the cursor.
• Spectral History: The Spectral History ribbon is an overview history of the Spectragram. This display is
incredibly effective at revealing minute details of musical and sonic structure. When you hold down
the option key and click the mouse in the ribbon, a marker will appear to the right of the frequency

the mouse pointer. The Details readout will track the precise frequency range of the display feature you
are pointing at. If you hold down the Option key while clicking on a spectral feature in the ribbon, the
Details readout will display the precise frequency range that the selected feature occupies.

shows the correlation on a scale from from 1 to -1 at the cursor.
