beat detector

Beat Detector is not available at the moment. we are working on the all-new Beat Detector 3 – hopefully it will be available soon!
The new Beat Detector 2.0 detects the tempo of the music in BPM (Beats Per Minute) continuously in realtime. It will be available very soon – it is already in review at iTunes!
It displays the 4 most probable BPM results, their predecessors and a corresponding rhythm pattern. It comes with a great GUI: its color coding illustrates the relationship between detected BPM values and the rhythm pattern energies. Previous values flow away in a smooth animation. The Beat Detector supports Inter App Audio, Audiobus and Airplay and is already optimised for iOS 8.The Beat Detector works on audio signals coming through the microphone, any attached audio hardware or Audiobus / Inter App Audio.The Beat Detector calculates it’s current result by analyzing previously measured BPM values going back to 20 seconds. Tap the display once to reset this memory and restart calculation.
Beat Detector features: – automatic realtime beat detection – innovative GUI showing the 4 most probable BPM values, a timeline and corresponding rhythm pattern – automatic input level gate – Audiobus and Inter App Audio support – Airplay support – full iOS 8 support

Analyzer Top Grossing Music App in Belarus!!!

Today something amazing happened! 😉 We are number one in Belarus!

frequency response compensation

All iDevices running iOS 5 have a built-in low cut filter for the built-in microphones and the headphone jack input.

This issue has been solved by Apple since iOS 6.

The reason for the low cut of the pre-iOS 6 devices is – as we believe – that they are designed mainly for recording and processing human speech. This high-pass represents a serious drawback for all kinds of frequency related measurements based on the use of the built-in microphone or the headphone jack. We gave this problem a lot of thoughts and decided to develop a compensation.

Please note: the compensation curves (offered as In-App purchases in the Analyzer and the Spectrograph) compensate for the corresponding device, microphone and (in the case of running iOS 5.x) the heavy low cut filter. In the latter case we are aware that the compensation pushes the noise in the low frequencies, but after much testing done by experienced sound engineers we are very happy with the results! Compensation curves are available for the built-in microphones (on Analyzer included), selected headsets and the i-series mics i436i456 and i266 from MicW. We offer the frequency responses as In-App Purchases. You can get them by visiting the store in the menu.

The compensation for the measurement microphone i436 from Mic-W includes a setting for the individual sensitivity given in the manual of each i436. In Germany, Switzerland and Austria all products from Mic-W are distributed by Synthax GmbH

If you are running our Apps on iOS 6 or later, the compensation curves linearize the frequency response of the corresponding microphones and devices.

Frequency responses of the iDevices running iOS 6 (measurement mode activated):

iPhone 5, iPad 2-4 headset-in frequency response

iPhone4DeviceFrequencyResponse

iPhone3GSDeviceFrequencyResponse

iPod Touch 4 frequency response

Here are the frequency responses of some external mics available for iDevices attached to the headset input:

 

The MicW i436 manual provides an individual sensitivity value. We integrated this as a setting in the i436 info page:

dB Volume update

Hi everybody, there’s a new update available: we improved the facebook performance and enlarged the facebook button – get it now!

dB Volume+ available on the App Store!!

One step further: our next app has made it! With dB Volume+ you can post everything on facebook: noise level, geodata, picture, comments… You could use it for analyzing noise levels in National Parks, around airports or for documenting your nights in the clubs – but let’s see what you’ll make out of it…

dB Volume is now available on the App Store!

Our next App made it through! We are proud to present our free of charge App dB Volume. You can measure the sound pressure level (SPL) and share it directly on facebook – we are really curious, how you will like and use this feature!

Analyzer update 1.0.2 available

Our update is available in the App Store! We fixed the latency issue and added facebook integration – now you can post your noise levels directly!

Get the update here:

important notice…

We experienced a latency problem at the Analyzer on some devices – and we fixed it. The necessary update (1.0.2) is already in review at iTunes, so it should be online in a few days. To get the best performance please make sure to get this update as soon as it is available – we will inform you via facebook, twitter and on this site!

dB Volume is waiting for review

It’s really exciting – we are happy to announce that we put our next App into the pipeline: dB Volume is now waiting for review in the App Store! It’s for free! With dB Volume you can measure the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) and post it directly in facebook – we are really curious, what resonance we’ll get…  🙂
