- Tuner Mode – is the preferred to help tune an instrument as it increases the resolution of the analysis.
The Display Views:
- Snail View – provides a representation of the fundamental frequencies and all related harmonics or overtones in real time. Sound is displayed as ‘blobs’ along a spiralled view from the low frequencies in the center to higher frequencies (and their respective musical notes) up the spiral GUI.
