The Zurich-based app agency Raskin Apps is contributing to the open source framework AudioKit UI with its app project Werckmeister for musicians. As the framework is also used by the Synesthesia AR app available on Apple Vision Pro, Raskin's code is already running on the latest Apple platform.
There are several technical tools for not only hearing music, but also seeing it. One of these is the spectrogram. This shows all the existing frequencies of a single tone, a sound or an entire piece of music on a time axis. The spectrogram can be used to recognize patterns, such as overtones, crackling or beats. Or to draw a digital "fingerprint" that can be compared with others, for example to compare and recognize bird calls.
We will be adding such a spectrogram to our app Werckmeister and have programmed the corresponding display and implemented it in the open source framework AudioKit UI integrated. It is called SpectrogramFlatView and is available in the latest version of the app Synesthesia AR available on the Apple Vision Pro "Spatial Computer". The app offers several ways to visualize music, including two spectrograms, one in 3D and our "flat" representation. This means that Raskin code is already running on Apple's latest technology.
