This article describes display options available in ZYLIA Studio PRO plugin.

Polar pattern

This function allows you to set approximate microphone sound sensitivity in relation to angle. To enable polar pattern:

  • Select the virtual microphone from the list on the right side of the plugin window.
  • Click on “Polar pattern” button near the lower left corner of the plugin window.

The width and the separation mode have an effect on the shape of the polar pattern.

Since “OMNI” profile has equal sensitivity for all angles, it is not displayed.
