Turn the sound around you into motion with Music Pulse. Use your iPhone microphone to bring retro VU meters, LED displays, frequency spectra and imaginative light effects to life. Swipe to switch themes, choose from available colors and adjust sensitivity to your surroundings. Double-tap the visualizer to hide the controls for an immersive view. Add your own text with customizable color, size and font style. Explore designs inspired by classic audio equipment, glowing valves, cassettes and geometric light effects. Calibrate silence in a quiet environment to reduce unwanted visual activity from background noise. Audio is processed on your device. No account is required, and microphone audio is not saved or uploaded. Music Pulse listens through the microphone; it does not directly capture audio from other apps on your iPhone. The meters are for visualization, not calibrated sound-pressure measurements. Some themes feature bright lights and rapid changes in illumination.
