See your music in motion. MusicEcho turns sound into terrain, light and lightning that react in real time. Bass shapes the landscape, high frequencies illuminate the details, and each change in your music takes a visible form. • Terrain and lightning: switch between two visual effects from the home screen preview cards. • Color themes: choose a palette or let colors follow the artwork of a recognized song. • Song recognition: see the identified song and its artwork, with alternative cover editions when available. • Your viewpoint: drag to orbit and pinch to zoom into the scene. • Every screen: enjoy layouts for iPhone, iPad and Mac, in portrait or landscape. On iPhone and iPad, allow microphone access to react to music playing around you. On Mac, allow system audio capture to visualize your computer's sound. MusicEcho is a music visualizer; it does not provide music streaming or song playback. Bring a moving backdrop to your music at a party, on your desk or during a quiet evening. Questions or ideas?
