## What is SonicDNACollector?

Capture the DNA of your analog gear. SonicDNA Collector turns your iPhone and USB audio interface into a professional measurement station for digital modeling.

■ IR Capture — Impulse Response Recording

Record studio-quality impulse responses from any analog gear:
• Automated ESS (Exponential Sine Sweep) measurement
• Farina deconvolution for accurate IR extraction
• Export to 7 formats: Universal, Helix, Axe-FX, Quad Cortex, NAM, ToneX, Kemper
• Quality scoring with SNR, T60, spectral analysis
• 96kHz/24bit capture, 48kHz WAV export

■ NAM Capture — Neural Amp Modeler Training Data

Create training datasets for Neural Amp Modeler:
• Capture input/output signal pairs through your amp or pedal
• Automated frame synchronization and resampling
• Export matched WAV pairs (48kHz/16bit) ready for NAM training
• Build your own amp/pedal models from real hardware

■ Precision Measurements

• Log Sine Sweep: Frequency response analysis (20Hz–20kHz)
• Gain Staircase: THD vs. gain characterization at multiple drive levels
• Real-time FFT spectrum and VU metering
• Session management with JSON metadata

■ Professional Audio Engine

• 96kHz/24bit recording via USB audio interface
• Real-time spectrum analysis with vDSP-optimized FFT
• THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) measurement
• Impulse response visualization

■ Library & Export

• All captures automatically saved to Library
• Share via AirDrop, Files, or any compatible app
• Organized by session with full metadata

■ Who Is This For?

• Guitarists & producers creating amp/cab IR collections
• Developers building NAM or profiling models
• Audio engineers archiving vintage equipment characteristics
• Anyone who wants to digitally preserve analog tone

■ Requirements

• iOS 17.0 or later
• USB audio interface (e.g., ZOOM AMS-22, Focusrite, etc.)
• Analog equipment to capture

■ Notes

• This app can output 0dBFS test signals — please manage speaker/headphone volume carefully
• Microphone permission is required for recording via audio interface
• No internet connection required — fully offline operation


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-03-12

Version 1.1.0 — IR Capture & NAM Capture

NEW FEATURES
• IR Capture: Record impulse responses from your analog gear and export as WAV files compatible with all major IR loaders (Helix, Axe-FX, Quad Cortex, Kemper, ToneX, NAM)
• NAM Capture: Capture input/output signal pairs for Neural Amp Modeler training — create your own amp/pedal models
• Library: All captured IR and NAM files are automatically saved and organized in the Library tab
• 4-tab interface: IR Capture / NAM / Measurements / Library

IMPROVEMENTS
• Significantly improved UI responsiveness — resolved frame drops and UI hangs
• Optimized FFT processing moved off the main thread
• Shared audio engine across all tabs (reduced memory usage)
• Canvas-based VU meters for smoother animation
• Quality score now includes Schroeder SNR, EDT, T60, spectral flatness, and composite scoring

UNDER THE HOOD
• Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics for better stability monitoring
• Migrated to @Observable for modern SwiftUI state management
• Extracted shared UI components and eliminated code duplication

### 1.0 — 2026-02-04
