Product Description:
Version 3.0 continues SignalSuite's tradition of offering tremendous flexibility in an audio test signal generator. The new version adds support for Audio Unit generator plug-ins, enhanced AppleScript support, advanced output device configuration, and the option to save generator configurations in projects.
Audio Unit generator support opens up endless possibilities for additional signal types. This includes signals stored in standard audio files, which can be now played within SignalSuite by using the AUAudioFilePlayer plug-in included with Mac OS X. It also opens up the option to play back signals sent across a network from another computer, via the AUNetSend/AUNetReceive plug-ins, which are also included with Mac OS X.
SignalSuite Features
- Select any audio output device available in Mac OS X (version 10.4 or later)
- Select any two output channels on multi-channel audio devices
- Choose from all output signal formats supported by the current audio device
- Invert polarity on either output channel
- Generate any of the following signal types:
- Sinusoid
- Square Wave with arbitrary duty cycle
- Triangle Wave
- Sawtooth Wave
- Random Noise (white or pink)
- Maximum Length Sequence, or MLS (white or pink)
- Pseudorandom Noise (white or pink), designed for a perfectly flat spectrum with corresponding FFT length
- Swept Sine (Chirp) with linear or logarithmic frequency sweep
- Optional Swept Cosine signal, phase-locked with Swept Sine
- Any signals produced by Audio Unit generator plug-ins
- Relative Phase adjustment between the two periodic signals
- Independent amplitude adjustment, fine and coarse frequency controls, and pan for periodic signals
- Choose upper and lower frequency limits, duration, sweep direction, and repeat of swept sine
- Choose any combination of available signal types to be active simultaneously
- Master Start/Pause control
- Master Volume control
- Start or pause SignalSuite from the dock icon popup menu
- Save signals of arbitrary duration directly to a standard audio file (AIFF or WAVE format)

This capability already has been around for many years on mac: wavebox, only $10 more. And it is solid software with a well thought out interface. Why should I gamble on unproven software? To save $10? Whats also really, really weird is that it seems like signalsuite are just mindlessly copying the other softwares features without adding any original ideas of their own. They also seem to be copying the organization of the user interface, but only to a point (probably because they would be sued).

"any standard audio software can generate all of these test signal and far more"
This kind of comment is far too common on Versiontracker and does a disservice to both developers and users.
Only specialized software such as SignalSuite offers flexibility and power beyond the half-baked afterthoughts that are "signal generation" on "standard audio software," which typically (when present) offer to make a sine wave or a square wave (not bandlimited, so expect aliasing) or a noise waveform. Such is a very limited level of functionality compared to SignalSuite.
People should refrain from reviewing software which works in outside their field of expertise.

Anyone that knows enough about audio to need a program like this probably already knows that any standard audio software can generate all of these test signal and far more. Why would anyone pay $25 for a trivial app that does far less than programs they already own?
