Sonic Visualiser Screenshots

Sonic Visualiser 1.0 showing a waveform pane and a melodic range spectrogram pane.

Sonic Visualiser 1.0 showing about a minute of the final movement of Mahler's 9th symphony, performed by the Czech Philharmonic under Vaclav Neumann. (In fact the whole final movement is loaded and may be scrolled through – see the green overview at the bottom of the window.)

Sonic Visualiser 1.0 in Russian – translation thanks to the hard work of Alexandre Prokoudine. The Russian translation is included in the standard program and should be used automatically if your locale is set appropriately.

Sonic Visualiser 0.9 showing a waveform, beat locations detected by a Vamp plugin, an onset likelihood curve, a spectrogram with instantaneous frequency estimates and a "harmonic cursor" showing the relative locations of higher harmonics of a frequency, a waveform mapped to dB scale, and an amplitude measure shown using a colour shading.
