Similar to the human cochlea where the different frequencies are split-up and analyzed, The Snail for iOS uses a spiral grid to visualize root notes and overtones of any incoming sound with utmost precision. The Snail is based on recently developed technology making instrument tuning easy and audio analysis music-oriented and fun to watch. Tune any instrument with utmost precision Version 2 offers an additional guitar tuning mode that is available in the tuning view. Just tap on a dedicated string name, play a note and adjust the guitar tuning accordingly. Another major improvement is the new split window mode. Whenever you do any adjustments to parameters you now see how the edits affect the visualization in the upper section. This works in both visualization modes. One mode is the snail grid, a complete musical overview of the audio spectrum. The other one, the tuner view, is especially designed to focus on the root note for tuning purposes. In both views there is a sine tuning oscillator available which is controlled simply by touching the desired note on the iPhone display. There are a lot of customizable parameters. No problem if you would like to tune transposing instruments or if you need a tuning reference other than 440 Hz. Patented technology The well-known IRCAM institute for acoustic and music research in Paris is responsible for the new technology of detection and visualization. It is a patented invention by Thomas Hélie, CNRS researcher at the Sciences and Technologies for Music and Sound (STMS) Laboratory (IRCAM/CNRS/Sorbonne Université). The Snail is also available for macOS and Windows, as stand-alone app or plug-in (VST3/AU/AAX), distributed by Plugivery. Key features • Precise audio analysis and instrument tuning in two modes. • Snail view for a sophisticated visual representation of root note and overtone structures. • Tuner view to tune instruments and to control pitches of voices and other sources. • Fast access guitar tuning (GT) mode. • Split window settings menu. • Visual gain and mic gain controllers. • Switchable auto detection. • Touch sine tuning oscillator. • 2 color modes: coherency index and magnitude. • Adjustable grid range (octaves). • Setup for transposing instruments. • Many customizable parameters like tuning reference, frequency tracking and audio window size.}

最高のアプリ。 耳コピにも、チューニングにも、演奏にも、いろんな音が可視化されるのがとても楽しい。そして使い易く便利。 カリンバやウクレレのチューニングや和音の耳コピに使ってます。最高のアプリ。開発してくれてありがとう! The best app. It's very fun to visualize various sounds for ear training, tuning, and playing. And it's easy to use and convenient. I use it for tuning my kalimba and ukulele, and for ear training chords. The best app. Thank you for developing it!

The ability to tune multiple instruments at once and pin point the frequencies of sound we would not normally be able to discern as pitches is incredible. What brings this app down, however, is that it does not retain settings after closing and the tuning reference is not precise enough.

チューナーとしては普段使いにしたいところなのですが、起動のたびに440から442に変更しなければならないのが残念。 毎回あの小さなスライダーで442に変更するのは非常にストレス。 買い切りとはいえ有料なので、せめて前回閉じた時の設定を記憶してて欲しいのですが。。。

Die App erlaubt das Stimmen inkl der Obertöne, super übersichtlich und schnell. Gerade auch bei problematischen Klangquellen, wie zB komplexen Oszillatoren (mit Crossmodulation ein Segen. Bitte noch eine app für die Uhr, dann kann ich alle anderen Tuner löschen und sechs Sterne vergeben ;) Auf dem iPad kann die App noch mehr, das ist aber nicht so griffbereit..

Y aurait il, avec options, possibilités du choix de gamme pythagoricienne ou tempérée, recalculant simplement les octaves sur proposition de l’entrée d’une fréquence fondamentale au choix de l’utilisateur ? ( de zéro hertz à 25 Kilo …) Dans tous les cas, un grand MERCI

very apps dev, thank you. pls fix (1) sometimes the markings doesnt show only the white arc-like. (2) white arc-like is not accurate if u adjust the grid range. (3) can the setting override the default so i wont always adjust it, just add a reset setting for default? thank you for reading out.

Ha mais merci, c’est beau, c’est à des années lumières du reste, c’est extrêmement ludique pour tous ceux qui n’ont pas l’oreille absolue, et c’est gratuit. Merci l’Ircam, continuez, c’est une parfaite mise en pratique de recherche appliquée pour le grand public et les musiciens.

I have this app as a VST on my computer and it’s part of my workflow. However, in a twist, it doesn’t work well here. It worked the first time I opened it, but every time since, the app doesn’t accept any sound in. The only use that comes out of it is the sine wave played as your finger travels around the interface. Expected a bit better but there is still use to be had
