A universal monitor controller and goniometer plug-in that brings preamp-style routing and the look of an analogue oscilloscope to computer playback.

MAATgo is made for everyone who listens to, mixes or masters high-resolution files and streams on a computer, and it offers more functions than most hardware monitor controllers. Sum (L+R), difference (L-R), channel swap, polarity inversion for left, right or both, and solo as left/right, mono/diff or mid/side quickly reveal mono compatibility and phase issues. The goniometer displays the stereo image and phase relationship with an out-of-phase warning and optional auto-gain, and you can save gain, focus, phosphor colour, drawing style and persistence as a personal preset. Disabled controls are completely out of circuit, while active ones use double-precision floating-point processing at up to 384 kHz.
