## What is Svev & Sviv Lite?

Short introduction

Svev & Sviv Lite combine a world-class tuner/pitch monitor with a full-featured metronome in one unified tool. Whether you’re tuning with temperament modifications, refining intonation, or working with complex rhythms, this app delivers insight and control musicians rely on.

Precision and speed

Fast, accurate pitch tracking using a YIN algorithm with low latency, displaying real-time frequency and deviation. Ideal for string players, wind players, vocalists, and studio work.

Svev (hover): advanced pitch analysis

View a scrolling historical graph with intonation history and drift analysis, revealing subtle improvements over time. Magic-wand analysis provides statistics and suggestions based on a significantly larger sample set.

Sviv (spin): advanced rhythm-cycle metronome

A fully configurable metronome supporting complex time signatures, subdivisions, asymmetrical patterns, visual pulse synchronization, and multiple sound/vibration presets. Stage-friendly with setlist support, and exportable audio to use your grooves in other software.

Presets and profiles

Create custom tonal and rhythm profiles, share presets or audio, and switch quickly between setups for practice, recording, or performance.

Ease of use

An intuitive layout offering quick access to both deep technical analysis and simple practice tools. Fast startup, clear visual feedback, and flexible customization.

Who it’s for

Musicians, educators, conductors, producers — and anyone looking to improve intonation and rhythm. From beginners needing clear feedback to advanced users demanding precision.

Combining the power of a microtonal vocal and instrumental pitch monitor and an advanced metronome in one app, this app has a goal of delivering world class features for practicing musicians at all levels.

Sviv Lite — Precise feature description

Overview:
Sviv Lite is a focused iOS metronome module built for practice and performance. It combines ultra-efficient processing with flexible rhythmic tools and clear visual cues, allowing musicians to rehearse longer and perform reliably.

Low CPU usage:
Engineered for minimal battery and CPU impact — instant start, stable timing, and uninterrupted performance, even on older devices.

Complex time signatures:
Native support for arbitrary and asymmetrical time signatures. Drag and drop beats to position them ahead of or behind a normalized rhythm pattern — switch seamlessly between symmetric and free-form bars.

Modulated subdivisions:
Create modulated subdivisions and polymetric groupings (triplets over duplets, odd groupings, tuplets) and save them as reusable patterns.

Preset bank:
Save and recall named presets for practice, rehearsal, and stage setups (tempo, time signature, subdivision, sound profile, vibration and visual settings).

Visual pulse synchronization:
High-contrast, low-latency visual pulse displays (flash, LED bar, wave) synchronized to audio and vibration — ideal for noisy stages or silent practice.

Tap asymmetric (or any) groove:
Tap input analyzes timing to generate asymmetric grooves, building repeatable patterns while preserving human micro-timing. Capture a feel and instantly loop it as a metronomic pattern.

Scene & performance features:
Quick-load performance mode, adjustable audio routing, and automatic mute when running in the background.

Usability:
Large, responsive controls; clear tempo input (tap, BPM wheel, fine adjustment); visual metronome and optional vibration cues for silent venues.

Who it’s for:
Practicing musicians, ensemble leaders, DJs, and live performers who require precise timing, flexible groove design, and reliable low-resource performance.

Other improvements

Improved Svev with faster pitch tracking:
Signal analysis has been optimized for lower latency and more responsive visuals across both quiet and complex sound sources.

Scrollable pitch history graph:
You can now scroll back in time and review intonation curves for entire sessions — ideal for identifying patterns and tracking progress over time.

Expanded sample base for magic-wand analysis:
The data foundation behind intelligent suggestions has been significantly expanded, resulting in more accurate analysis and improved adjustment recommendations.

Bug fixes and stability improvements:
Although no crashes have been logged, potential crash scenarios have been addressed, memory handling improved, and UI responsiveness fine-tuned on older devices.

Minor enhancements:
Improved language and help texts, better handling of external audio sources, and tighter synchronization between pitch graphs and logged sessions.

Thanks for all the feedback — feel free to send suggestions. Keep practicing, and stay tuned for upcoming updates shaped by user feedback.
