Beautiful but it's time for an update to create a more informative microphone section. Also, since people play music on the microphone reader, it would be more efficient and beautiful if each cymaglyph capture had a preset shorter life-span that is programmed to show only the prime resonance portion, in order to portray a more accurate representation of what would appear on the cymascope. Also, a real time graph of prime frequencies, to give more insight into what is being perceived would rock!

Purchased the app for the record function and it does not function as shown on the video. I have been unable to record anything. If I can get it to record I will give a better rating. Right now it's nice to look at the preset notes, but it's mostly useless.

"Use your voice to trigger the visible piano notes—great fun and can be used for voice coaching too." I downloaded it expecting that if I sang into the mic, I,d see the central pattern change and the correct key would appear to hold down. What actually happens is you hit the mic icon and the circle of keys disappears, replaced by a linear wave graphic and the name of the note you are singing. You still get the beautiful patterns though. For musical beginners (like me) it would be helpful if the app had the name for each white piano key to assist my fingers navigation. Took me a while to get used to my real linear keyboard after I'd graffiti'd it with a marker so the circular arrangement on the app bamboozled me. With some tweaks, this would be an excellent musical beginner tool. Already knew the app matched each piano key to a small movie of the real cymascope recording that note, so wasn't disappointed that you couldn't see live chord patterns. My girlfriend was disappointed by that though, so maybe in the future, once the apps database gets big enough and movie compression improves, the app will progress from beautiful to AWESOME.

The microphone will not show the corresponding cymatic. I purchased the app for that ability.If the devloper fixes and updates this then I will repurchase- however the comments from years ago state this same issue. I had high hopes for this app.

Wonderful app that is rooted in experimental observation! The visualzation of sound --- Remarkably executed by the team at Cymascope. Innovative and fun.
