"I use this for analog, and audio measurements. Attach an Apple USB adapter and a $40 stereo A-D converter available online, and my iPad is like a $300 O'Scope." -thymeout- Oscilloscope app is great for analyzing audio range signals, or learning oscilloscope measurement basics. The interface includes many standard oscilloscope controls, such as: triggering, time and voltage per division, signal measurement cursors, and more. The app incorporates a signal (function) generator capable of generating sine, square, triangle, and sawtooth waveforms of up to 22 KHz. Calibration to an external reference signal is supported, guaranteeing the accuracy of measurements. Input can be acquired via the built-in microphone or an external mic/probe connected to the headset connector. For best results, use an external audio interface connected to your device dock. This allows for standard audio equipment to be connected, as well as for dual channel input. Oscilloscope probes also be connected (using a BNC connector). When feeding external signals via probes, you should take care not to exceed 1V AC voltage. Currently iDevices support only AC input. For up-to-date information on feeding signals and currently supported audio interfaces, please visit http://oa.onyx3.com Feature Highlights: ● Real-time waveform display (60 FPS) ● Triggering modes: Normal, Auto, Single ● Set trigger level and pre-trigger time ● Dual channel signal generator ● Reference signal calibration ● Pause function to get a screen capture ● Export traces as text file for further analysis ● Measure signal data using cursors ● Use "finger pinch" on screen to set voltage and time base ● Double tap screen to enter Black Panel mode ● Three color themes to choose from ● XY mode for viewing Lissajous figures ● Frequency range 20Hz-22KHz ● iPhone X ready

Oscilloscope is a professional audio analysis app that transforms your iPhone or iPad into a comprehensive audio measurement system. Whether you are a sound engineer, musician, podcaster, or audio enthusiast, Oscilloscope provides the tools you need to visualize and analyze sound with precision. REAL-TIME OSCILLOSCOPE View up to 3 seconds of audio waveform history with crystal-clear visualization. Pause playback to examine specific moments, scroll horizontally to navigate through captured audio, and pinch to zoom for detailed inspection. Support for stereo, left-only, right-only, and mono summed display modes gives you complete control over your analysis. SPECTROGRAM ANALYSIS Visualize frequency content over time with a professional-grade spectrogram display. The app features a perceptually-accurate Bark frequency scale that mirrors how human hearing perceives sound, making it ideal for music mixing, room acoustics analysis, and identifying problematic frequencies. STEREO CORRELATION METER The XY display mode provides a Lissajous-style visualization of stereo phase correlation. Instantly identify phase issues, mono compatibility problems, and stereo width characteristics. The integrated correlation meter shows real-time phase relationship between left and right channels. FREQUENCY DETECTION Identify frequencies with precision using advanced pitch detection. The app displays detected frequency in Hz, the corresponding musical note name, MIDI note number, and cents deviation from perfect pitch. Perfect for tuning instruments, analyzing vocals, or identifying resonant frequencies. TRIGGER MODES Choose between level-based triggering with adjustable threshold for stable waveform display, or frequency-based triggering for pitch-locked visualization. Lookahead compensation ensures you never miss the transient you are looking for. PROFESSIONAL FEATURES - Support for all audio input sources including built-in microphone, external audio interfaces, and inter-app audio - AUv3 Audio Unit plugin for use within your favorite DAW or host app - Stereo level meters with peak hold - Adjustable time window from microseconds to seconds - High-resolution display optimized for all iOS devices - Dark interface designed for studio environments MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES - Real-time waveform visualization at 60 frames per second - FFT-based spectrum analysis with configurable resolution - Bark-scale spectrogram for perceptual frequency analysis - Phase correlation measurement from -1 to +1 - Peak level metering with accurate dBFS display USE CASES - Live sound engineering and system tuning - Studio mixing and mastering reference - Acoustic measurement and room analysis - Musical instrument tuning and intonation checking - Podcast and broadcast audio monitoring - Educational demonstrations of sound and acoustics - Troubleshooting audio equipment and connections Oscilloscope delivers professional-grade audio analysis in a portable, intuitive package.
