PPMulator is a meter which exactly mimics the look and feel of a professional broadcast Peak Programme Meter (PPM). By adding PPMulator to the master output of your audio editing program, you can record, edit, mix and export your audio within a precisely-calibrated workspace - something which is often impossible to do when working in a non-studio environment.

PPMulator is designed to closely follow the ballistics of mono, stereo and mid-side (MS) PPM meters conforming to IEC 268-10/DIN 45406 and has a number of built-in additional features, including various display options and a highly-useful Peak Logging process which logs all peaks/overloads against the timecode in the host application where they occurred.

PPMulator - Initial Feature Set:

• Configurable as a Type I/Type II PPM, or set your own custom reference levels, ballistics and settings.
• Both 'box-and-needle' PPM or plasma bargraph graphical display options.
• Unique Peak Logging feature - create lists of 'overs' logged against timecode for unattended mixes/laybacks.
• Mono/Stereo or Mid-Side (MS) metering options, with overload LED.
• Fully-resizable single or dual meter display.
• Monitor both input level when recording and output level when mixing.
• Mono gain trim to M3 (-3dB) or M6 (-6dB) standards.
• Phase-error warning light for maximum mono compatibility.
• Built-in reference tone generator for meter alignment and calibration.
