The sound that you hear is made up of vibrations at different frequencies. Two instruments, such as a guitar or a trumpet, might play the same note -- what makes them sound different are the harmonic frequencies that combine to make the overall tone. Spectral Eye will reveal these frequencies, so you can see what your sounds are made from. Using a Fast Fourier transform, incoming sound is split into individual sine waves, which are then displayed on the screen. Frequency spectrum displays are not uncommon; what makes Spectral Eye different is the arrangement of the frequencies into a spiral, so that octaves line up as rays coming from the center. The `concert pitch' of A is a vibration at 440 cycles per second. One octave above this is a doubling to 880, and an octave below is 220. On the Spectral Eye display, these frequencies fall into a line. You can see the structure clearly on the display as you make different kinds of sounds or play music. The stronger the frequency, the larger the red dot and white line; the size of the dots on the display scale to show the relative frequency strengths clearly. When you pluck a string on a guitar, the string will vibrate at a root frequency, but also at a frequency that is twice that of the root, as well as a number of different multiples. The resonant frequencies are what make different guitars sound unique. Harmonies between the frequencies of multiple notes are what make chords sound interesting. As the tone of a synthesizer note changes, you can see different component frequencies rise and fall. In addition to displaying the frequencies, you can also generate sound using Spectral Eye; we have included a simple synthesizer, which will generate either a pure sine wave, or a sine wave with an additional frequency a fifth above. Move the control on the right or bottom part of the screen to change the tone, and touch the main display and move in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner to change the pitch. The version of Spectral Eye also includes MIDI; you can start a MIDI synthesizer, and then use the Spectral Eye display to trigger notes. There are dozens of excellent synthesizers available; you can use this app to not only play them, but to see how their sounds are formed. And if you're trying to pick out the notes to a song, you can watch the display to see where the notes land. Spectral Eye is free, and will remain that way. No pop-up ads. No nag screen. Just good clean fun. If you like the app, we would very much appreciate a review in the app store. The core technology in Spectral Eye is part of our polyphonic pitch-to-MIDI app MIDImorphosis, which will let you use an ordinary guitar or other instrument to control MIDI synthesizers. This technology is also part of Infinite Looper, our innovative MIDI looping app. We have a number of other music-related apps available; we hope you dig Spectral Eye, and if you want to help us keep good things going, reviews or purchases of our other apps would be awesome!}

I am writing this review because they made this app free to use and thus free to enjoy. Its like a part of humanity in us that just wants to share the joy like a celebration of life. Thank you, I love science and sound is amazing, not prticularly for hearing it but that sound is ripples of pressure through the air, higher frequencies make closer ripples, low base makes long ripples, louder sounds increase the pressure, quiter is less pressure. So you can scientifically create the pressure and size within the air, but one really cool thing you can do with these pressure ripples is reflect them back to their source, and if you get the distance between the source and the reflection surface to be a distance that is a multiple of the width of a ripple then you get what looks like sound standing still, you would need some fog and light to see it, but its called a standing wave and you could place little nurf pelletts in the standing wave and the standing wave will hold them in place, if your reflecting vertically else they will fall but vertical floating balls is what many people like to dramatize the effect by calling it levitation and indeed is entertaining. Its not the toy aspect that is interesting, its the contemplation of what you have actuallly done that would seem impossible, a strip of pressurized air that has no walls yet does not leak. Imagination can lead us to what we could do with that. I hope you enjoyed my small add-on knowlege. Thank you Developers!

I have found this app incredibly useful over the years; it’s gone with me on many adventures into the woods, as I figure out and fine tune my skills and experiment on various flutes. I use it to tune my instruments. I’ve discovered all kinds of neat relationships in the structures of sound. It’s helped me to fine tune and understand my voice. If there was a device that only had this app on it, and it was unavailable on the App Store, I would buy it. Dear developer, please don’t let this app die. 🙏❤️🤙

OMG! 😳 It’s so magical! I think this measurement technique must be implemented on all modern devices. It’s absolutely genius, simple and so much explanatory! Everyone can learn a lot about sound, notes tones and voice tuning just by interacting with this amazing tool!

A fantastic app. So simple but does exactly what it’s supposed to do. No frills and yet it has a lovely interface. It’s a lot of fun to see what makes up the sounds that surround you. 5 stars

This is a really neat way to interact with sound and music. It took a little bit, and a look at the info pane, to “get it,” but now that I do, this is proving to be a fantastic tool with sound design. Especially when aiming for complex synth sounds intending to suggest, but not state, different timbres to hint at, say a trumpet, but not to BE a trumpet. And in fact can help super nerds actually veer away from specific instrument “sounds,” by allowing them/us to see which harmonics to avoid. To say nothing about how it can help tune a drum set or drum machine. Truly a stellar bit of kit for anyone into sound for the sake of sound. This means musicians, physicists, sound designers, and anyone who wants to understand what makes THAT wobble, that drives them/us good-mad, better than the other wobble that just annoys them/us or makes us bad-mad. I’d love to see a graphics update, but for free I’m not even remotely complaining. I also ask that you make a way that people who DO want to throw resources at you be given at least some way to do so. Not necessarily with a purchase. It probably wouldn’t be employed a lot, so it would be imprudent to create a specific commercial account, but a simple means of sending a couple bucks here and there would help you see that people DO appreciate developers, and that we want you to keep developing. Some of us also get how evil certain... let’s call them “business arrangements,” can be. How many times can a dollar be taxed before the one being taxed has to pay more than the dollar earned? [rhetorical] Developers: thanks for the stellar tool, and for making it free, AND free of ads! I’ve actually been just quitting anything that ads AT me anymore, and the ads that open something?!? Bad-mad for sure! I’ve also avoided “in app purchase,” apps for a long, long time. At least since the first few burned me. I find both approaches to be dishonest. DRM is another nightmare too vast a topic to get into. The ultra short version is that spending resources (time, money, creativity, at least) on inconveniencing the people who actually support the product and/or developer takes resources from making an app or product, or service, or support, or anything that can take something from good to OMG TAKE MY MONEY. I want apps that inspire OMG TMM, and these days products have to overcome product abandonment burns too. Sorry this is so long, I don’t get out much.

I wish this, exactly this, was included in every synth. Because trying to recreate a specific sound using pretty much any synth is soooo much more difficult without a spectrum analizer such as this. But it's fairly rare to find any on the app store that actually show the notes, and the octives, in such an easy layout such as this. But I mainly came here to say, that it's 2020. Audiobus 3 is here. Auv3 is here too. Add some ios versions later, and sadly, this app kind of only works with the mic now. If you launch it with AUM... Well... It doesn't launch at all. AUM gives an error and suggests you try again. And if you launch it with Audiobus 3, it actually launches, but it receives no audio from Audiobus... It just continue to receive mic, and Audiobus thinks this app is "asleep". So I'm still using it, with just the mic. I play back audio through my phones speaker, lol. Not ideal, but it's still the best, and it's free. This app needs to be updated, but maybe the dev doesn't have time. Any chance it could be released as open source? Then maybe someone else would be willing to update it, to keep it functioning fully?
