Description

SignalScope X offers a range of powerful measurement and analysis tools to enhance your productivity in areas such as acoustics (sound and vibration), audio, electronics, and electroacoustics.

SignalScope X includes a free oscilloscope tool. SignalScope X makes additional tools available via 3 tiers of subscription-based tool sets to meet your basic, advanced, and professional needs. Each subscription works on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Features:
- Analyze signals coming from the Mac or iOS device’s current audio input device.
- Assign engineering units to your input signals and calibrate external transducers for accurate measurements.
- Assign input channel units and sensitivities for individual USB Audio devices.
- Connect lab-grade microphones and sensors to your Mac, iPad, or iPhone with suitable interface hardware for precise measurements.
- SignalScope offers enhanced support for select hardware from Digiducer, The Modal Shop, and miniDSP.
- Nominal acoustic sensitivities included for iPhone and iPad built-in microphones, voltage sensitivities for headset input (including the standard Lightning-to-headset adapter).
- Manually switch between available audio input and output sources.
- Load microphone frequency response data (FRD) and apply frequency response correction (FRC) to FFT-based measurements.
- Manually adjust audio sample rates, even up to 768 kHz, depending on hardware.
- Save acquired measurement data to CSV, TXT (tab-delimited), or MAT files.
- Save high-resolution analyzer display images to PDF files.
- Retrieve your data files from your device via Files (iCloud Drive), iTunes File Sharing, or through a web browser on another device. Files may also be opened in other compatible apps (e.g. Mail, Notes, Numbers, Dropbox, etc).

Basic Tools:
- Oscilloscope
- FFT Analyzer - Spectrum analyzer with user-settable frequency limits and signal triggering
- 2D Real-time Spectrogram Analyzer
- XY Plotter - Create Lissajous curves or visualize your stereo mix
- Stereo Signal Generator

Advanced Tools: (Advanced Tool Set also includes basic tools)
- 3D Real-time Spectrogram Analyzer - Stunning live visualization of incoming data
- Octave-band Analyzer - Whole and 1/3-octave RTA
- Level Meter - Overall signal level meter
- Max Levels
- Noise Dosimeter
- Data Recorder - Stream up to 8 channels to WAV, AIF, or CAF audio files
- Multi-channel Audio File Player - Analyze pre-recorded data

Pro Tools: (Pro Tool Set subscription includes basic and advanced tools)
- Dual-channel System Analyzer (Dual FFT analysis with support for Frequency Response Magnitude/Phase, Phase Delay, Group Delay, Coherence, Impulse Response and Cross-Correlation)
- Sound Intensity Analyzer - With a suitable p-p probe, measure sound intensity and acoustic particle velocity spectra (narrowband FFT and whole or 1/3-octave bands) and time waveforms.
- Room Acoustics Analyzer (T20, T30, T60, nonlinearity, EDT, Early Decay Time, Center Time, Clarity, and Definition in various frequency bands, adjustable Schroeder integration limits)
- MultiTool - Powerful data monitoring and project management (Add 2-6 subtools, depending on screen size, and save configurations for easy recall at a later time.)
- Polar Plot - Generate beautiful high-resolution plots of polar data loaded from properly formatted data in a text or csv file.

Additional Pro Features:
- User-defined custom metadata in saved audio and data files
- Data logging support in the Level Meter, Octave Analyzer, and Noise Dosimeter
- Percentile exceeded sound levels in the Level Meter and Octave Analyzer
- NC, RNC, and NR references curves, NC, SIL, and NR values in the Octave Analyzer

Useless on MBP 2013

SPL meter is useless. Totally inaccurate. No way to calibrate it that actually works. And even adjusting input volume in macOS settings doesn’t result in a significant change in amplitude. Only giving a second start because that’s the only feature I tested.

Amazing

This thing is awesome. Does exactly what I needed and then some. Well thought through design with a lot of nice touches.

Very expensive with zero upgrade path.

Paid for a full version with all the extras for the previous version of this app, as well as some companion apps made by the same company. Then they disappeared from the App Store, and a new functionally identical version appeared.
No upgrade path was offered. Not even a 1% upgrade discount. Nothing.
The authors argue that it was removed because the old binary no longer runs on iOS13. Of course, that just means the authors need to fix incompatibilities and recompile for the new iOS, thick is exactly what they’ve done, but chose to release it as a new app instead.
Every iOS developer is in the same boat. And yet, most have either just recompiled their apps for new iOS or rewrote, release as a new app, and offered an upgrade path. But not this one.
If this was an app for my grandfathers PC, it would maybe possible to argue that the app still runs. But that’s not a reality with iOS devices. The operating system can not be rolled back, people upgrade hardware often, and the inconvenience of carrying and maintaining an extra old device makes the already flimsy argument that the old app still works (if you kept and maintain an old device that has it installed) rather disingenuous.
This is a very expensive app. Certainly the most expensive one I ever owned on iOS. And now is it about as much use as the “I’m rich app”. And if I purchase the updated version, you may as well call it “I am stupid” app. Fool me once...
