Display realtime values of filter/pulse sweeps #102

From Sanke Choe on Facebook:

Not sure how many find this useful but I've always liked the possibility to see real-time values of, i.e. filter cutoff frequency during play. Same goes for pulse. It could fit nicely right below the respective tables. The decreasing count value could also be put there "in live" to aid in syncing those long filter or pulse sweeps.

It can be quite useful to have pulse and filter cutoff displayed, graphically. I have had that in one of my editors. Just simple bars from left to right. Displaying pulse and cutoff realtime only as numbers can ofcourse also be useful, but in my opinion, not as much as graphically.

By graphically, I mean just some "meters" displaying where pulse and cutoff goes. Atleast you can see if your sounds go too far in one direction regarding pulse/cutoff. And can be good especially for pulse sounds, if you like me think "I want it to end up moving around square phase" etc. I hope I made myself somewhat clear. 🙂 I used sprites for that thing I did, but on pc I bet you need something else .. (Colas? crap joke..)

I'm more of a numbers guy 😃but graphical view sure is better than having nothing.

The information could probably fit neatly right below the respective tables. I.e. for pulse: 01: XXX 02: XXX 03: XXX And for filter: XXX XX So basically the values being to the SID at each tick.

A little graphical thing would be nice too, with a short running history. Usually I am interested in finding big jumps or overflow wrap-arounds, which I imagine is hard looking at live numbers.
