ASPiK includes several custom VSTGUI4 controls including a subclassed CVuMeter object. You can use it to add meter ballistics (which are pulled from your PluginParameter's settings) as well as for making upside-down (for vertical meters) or right-to-left (for horizontal meters) that are commonly used in gain reduction metering. The PluginParameter object carries around most of the information that is required, but you need to enable the custom-view in order to take advantage of the extended functionality in the CVuMeterEx object (ASPiK's custom view). Doing so just involved changing the custom-view field in the VSTGUI4 GUI designer.

For any CVuMeter object, you may apply one of the following values:

• MeterView - this is the standard meter but including the meter ballistics you setup in the linked PluginParameter object
• InvertedMeterView - this is the upside-down or right-to-left version, including the same ballistics as the normal MeterView, but inverted.
