Monitor

Adaptive monitor that previews whatever signal is patched into it — audio, control values, MIDI, or images. The input is a wildcard socket that adopts the connected signal type and renders an appropriate live display, and the node is a terminal sink with no outputs, so it can be dropped anywhere in a patch to inspect a signal without altering the routing.

Inputs

Input

• ID: input
• Kind: unknown
• Rate: control
• Coercion: Allowed with warning
• Description: Signal to inspect. Adopts the connected signal type.

• Type: enum
• Control: select
• Range or Options: Auto (auto), Wave (waveform), Scope (scope), Clock (clock), FFT (spectrum), Value (value), MIDI (midi)
• Default: Auto (auto)

Notes

• Canonical ID: an.monitor
• Category: analysis
• Runtime Surface: control
• Runtime Targets: control-main-thread
• JUCE Early Access: Supported
• Early Access Note: Native-supported in the plugin for authored audio, value, and MIDI monitor flows. Runtime preparation lowers authored an.monitor nodes onto the existing native viewer and midi.monitor paths, while image-mode monitor signals remain a documented migration gap.
