HOW DOES THE SNAIL WORK ?
In short, there are two modes and three different display views :
The Modes:
Music Mode is the most suitable to view your music with, if for instance it contains complex polyphonic content.
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.
Zoomed Tuner View displays the hexagonal shape which rotates and slows down as you zero down to green on the exact reference frequency.
This display is the closest view to a traditional tuner while being incredibly more precise.
Sonogram View offers a more standard representation of the sound spectrum over time (vertically), highlighting the prevailing frequencies.
This view provides more detail of the frequencies' energy for analysis.
