Test Tone Settings for
Generating Tone, Noise, and Beeps
The Fairlight page has a general purpose oscillator, the settings of which you can customize by choosing Fairlight > Test Tones Settings. This opens the Test Tones Settings window that you can configure to generate tones, noise, or beeps using five sets of controls:
— Enable/Disable Test Tones toggle: Lets you turn the Oscillator on or off system-wide.
— Frequency control: Sets a custom frequency of oscillating tone, from 20 Hz to 15kHz. Defaults to 1kHz.
— Frequency buttons: Lets you quickly select 100, 440, 1K, or 2K preset tones, or a continuous rising sweep of frequencies from 20 Hz to 15kHz.
— Noise type buttons: Two buttons let you choose from White noise or Pink noise.
— Level dial: Sets the output level for the tone or noise, from –50dB to +10dB. Defaults to –15 dB.
You can set up the Oscillator to output whatever kind of tone or noise you require, and then patch it to tracks for recording tones, or patch it to audio outputs for calibrating speakers. If you use the beep options of the ADR panel, those are performed via the Oscillator.
1 Choose Fairlight > Patch Input/Output to open the Patch Input/Output window.
2 Choose System Generator from the Source drop-down menu, and choose Audio Outputs from the Destination drop-down menu.
