About

Visualised Audio

This app analyzes single musical notes, displaying their pitch and visualizing harmonics. It helps musicians refine their playing technique by showing accuracy to pitch and the subtle differences in instrument sound through harmonic analysis. It requires microphone access and a quiet environment for optimal performance.

Highlights
  • Monophonic pitch detection
  • Note and harmonic visualization
  • Playing technique fine-tuning
  • Harmonic analysis of instruments
  • Practice aid for scales
  • Adjustable sensitivity slider

Visualised Audio can classify single notes using monophonic pitch detection and visualise notes and harmonies. Visualised Audio can help you fine tune your playing technique by showing you how close to pitch you are. Visualised Audio can show you all the beautiful harmonics that your instrument is creating. Is there a difference between your $100 instrument and your $2000 instrument? Visualised Audio is a fun tool to use while you're practising scales as it's showing you what the notes look like and which harmonics lie on top of the fundamental pitch. If your instrument is creating strong harmonics you can use the slider at the bottom make the application less sensitive and thus help it classify the fundamental pitch instead of the harmonic. Left on the slider means less sensitive to harmonics. The default value should be good for most people. Since the application makes heavy use of the microphone it needs both access to it as well as a relatively quiet environment. Note - The classified note detected by the app Error - The deviation from the note in cents Clarity - How pure the signal is. This has nothing to do with error.

Sound Scope Analyzer visualizes sound from your microphone in real time — an oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer in your pocket. ● Real-Time Mode • Watch waveforms like on an oscilloscope (a trigger keeps periodic waves steady on screen) • CRT-style afterglow effect you can toggle on and off • Frequency spectrum up to 24 kHz with automatic noise-floor removal, so real sounds stand out clearly • Fixed or auto scaling for each axis; pinch to zoom and drag to pan ● Timbre Mode • Automatically detects a sustained long tone (like singing “ahh”) and analyzes it with high frequency resolution • Shows the fundamental note name and frequency, with offset in cents • Marks each harmonic peak with its note name and measured frequency • Save the analysis result to Photos as an image • Sound source presets: voice, whistle, piano, guitar, bowed strings, and winds ● Great for • Long-tone practice and tone checks for winds, strings, and vocals • Comparing the harmonic structure of different instruments • Learning the physics of sound: frequency, waveforms, and harmonics • Exploring the sounds around you ● Privacy All audio is processed entirely on your device. Nothing is ever recorded, stored, or transmitted. Available in English and Japanese.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sound Scope Analyzer at none against Visualised Audio's 3. Sound Scope Analyzer also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 14 months). Visualised Audio's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
