## What is Spectrojam?

Spectrojam® listens to your microphone and turns the sound it hears into colors and shapes on your screen. If you speak, for example, you will see the individual frequencies emitted by your voice. If you whistle, you will see shapes and colors move and change on the screen in perfect sync with your tune. You will be amazed to see the frequency composition of the sounds in your everyday life. Each noise has a unique signature, and now you can see it all!

The Musical Note Display can translate the sounds you make into musical notes. This allows anyone to sing a perfect "A" without even hearing a reference note. Spectrojam® can display up to 3 musical notes at the same time, allowing you to pick apart chords and harmonies. It works great with the human voice and musical instruments. Unlock Premium mode to access a high-resolution sound visualizer which displays up to 12.3 million samples simultaneously (8,192 frequencies * 1500 time slices) for extremely high precision and maximum clarity.

The Color Modulator smoothly cycles through your color selections, producing stunning visuals. If your environment is loud, simply use the Gain slider to reduce the overall input volume, or boost it if you want to detect whispers, breathing, and quiet background music. Explore your world in a whole new way. Download Spectrojam® today!

### 4/5 — Please add video record mode

*2024-05-27, version 1.3.0*

I like this app so far. I am having a hard time buying premium version. I can’t hide logo. I’d like to record some of my guitar, keys and drums as some spectrum modes as a mp4 video so can edit as part of music video with visual spectrum elements.

### 4/5 — How to get it premium?

*2023-12-03, version 1.3.0*

One star cut. I didn’t find the way to get the premium version to unlock full capabilities and hide logo. Otherwise, exactly what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Good & Simple Music Visualizer

*2023-08-15, version 1.3.0*

Exactly what I was looking for. Simple effects, easy to use, inexpensive. Great for lo-fi beats.

### 1/5 — Not worth one star

*2021-05-15, version 1.2.0*

Why would anyone want to spend money on an app that loads upside down on your iPad and has no idea what up and down is? Screen orientation is a feature smart phones and tablets use to keep the image or app correctly oriented. This app doesn’t. Why would anyone want to spend money on an app that’s only purpose is visual, when the text and images of that app, only have a one in four chance of being properly oriented? No thank you.

### 5/5 — Needs an addition

*2020-06-05, version 1.2.0*

It you could record your music I’m sure that this app would get used a lot

### 3/5 — Okay

*2020-03-29, version 1.2.0*

Looked pretty and started to vibe but then a google ad came up over the visuals and when I closed it it stayed.  Ruined it for me .

### 5/5 — Good for tap tone analysis

*2019-02-07, version 1.2.0*

It is very nice and reliable. I have used this app for tap tone analysis.

### 2/5 — Turns off Bluetooth headphones

*2018-12-12, version 1.2.0*

I have a pair of Jabra headphones. Although Bluetooth remains “On”, the music stops coming through on my headphones. If I close the app right after starting it (and my headphones becoming disabled), the headphones turn right back on.

Really cool effects, but can’t enjoy them at work, so all I can do is look at the cool Visualizer, yet hear nothing :/

### 5/5 — Best Sound Visualizer

*2018-07-01, version 1.2.0*

This is the best sound visualizer available on the app store...very accurate, too. If I play a note on my keyboard or guitar it will display the exact frequency. I use it all the time in my music studio.

### 2/5 — Didn't work well on iPad

*2018-03-05, version 1.1.1*

The ad says it unlocks the "premium" features after watching the video. Thats a little deceptive since they only are only unlocked for an hour. 
After unlocking premium features and adjusting input sensitivity to maximum level, visual display response was minimal even to loud sounds like clapping. Only sound input appears to be via the microphone which isn't very good.
