Field notes
MonoCheck provides separate correlation readings for the whole mix and its lows, mids, and highs, alongside a vectorscope and several listening modes. Deepwake’s effect pads can be triggered by hand or run from separate step lanes, each with its own rate, length, and gate. The listed formats are VST3 and, on macOS, Audio Unit; Pro Tools is not supported.
