Hi Phil & Rita, thank you, I much appreciate your comment. Would you consider giving the app a review and star rating in the Apple or Googeplay store?

Thank you, Werner, I'm glad you find the app helpful. Would you consider giving the app a review and star rating in the Apple or Googeplay store?

I will consider your request. I'm just a neophyte in cymatics. I like to compare CymaScope app with other musical parameters visualizers in different sound design progress phases, just to discover resemblances and differences in the most subtile changes and patterns of logic in all of it. It will take me a few months - maybe an entire year - to make that indeph review. One day you will receive my review, John.

This soundsynthesis-design approach by using the cymascope app (and other "aural parameters"-visualizers), can become a standalone PhD-project or at least a part of a PhD-project in preparation modus to be involved one day into the Research Center for Visual Poetics (University of Antwerp, Belgium) concerning "diaporama", a medium in between photography and film in which transitions, superimposition, third images, dissolving/morphing/blending views are very important. Visual sounds and visual music imagery (included cymatics and cymascope app glyphs) are very important for the PhD-diaporama artist in me. I will give the app a review and star rating in the Apple and/or Googleplay store once i did more research on it , especially what it realy can do in the process of sound-creating (comparing with other visualizers that mirrors other aural parameters).

@@wernervannuffel2608 Hello, I am curious as to what other quality visualizers you have discovered that could visualize various sound frequencies ? I do audio and visual productions and this is very fascinating for me but I am interested in having a real time visualizer that would allow me to experiment with custom frequencies that I can visualize as well as various harmonics within those frequencies ... any suggestions ?

Thank you, Drollroll, we are considering a desktop version for the future.

Hi Elan, I'm so glad you like our app. Would you consider giving it a review and star rating in the Apple or Googeplay store?

Hello Midinerd, thank you for your comments. The CymaScope used a range of water-filled cuvette diameters to the capture piano note videos in our app's memory, so our ELF (extremely low frequency) instrument was used to capture the lowest piano notes, followed by the MF (medium frequency) instrument to capture the remaining notes up to note 40. We are developing an 88 note version of the app, and for some of those notes we will switch to the HF (high frequency) instrument. Each diameter of water has a specific bandwidth of frequencies that it can accept and render visible. This is because the wavelength of air-borne sounds are compressed by approximately 829 to 1 when they enter water, due to the difference in density between water and air. It's the same reason why the cochlea, which is only around 30mm long, can detect long wavelength sounds. I hope this helps clarifies the matter for you.

Hello Pulsar, please contact me via the cymascope.com web site contact form and I will reply with my email address so we can begin a discussion on your question. Best wishes, John Stuart Reid

why not discuss that on here? why the secret? why would this question come up? is there a hidden agenda going on here?

Hello Liam, the cost reflects two years of work to develop the CymaScope app and all purchases help support our ongoing cymatics research. Also, all purchasers of this first generation CymaScope app will be offered the second generation app free when it becomes available. The second generation version will have many additional features and will cover the entire piano bandwidth.

Hello Nikkitytom, thanks for your kind comment and suggestion regarding a linear keyboard. The second generation CymaScope app, currently in design phase, does indeed feature a linear keyboard, in two registers, enabling all 88 notes to be made visible. Physics and musicology are a wonderful combination!

@@CymaScope is it coming soon John? I recently purchased the app and would very much prefer a full keyboard in traditional form to see the cymatic shapes solo. It’s 3 years since your reply to the person asking this. Thank you! Your work is extremely interesting

What is a B0? I'm interested in this response. Wouldn't the shapes be reflective of the frequencies, in collaboration with the shape and material that they are moving through (in this case the circular shape of the device, and the water)? Or, are you saying that the patterns expressed by the water are entirely an expression of how the water is shaped and has nothing to do with the frequencies that are being sent through it? Would this mean all the shapes that are expressed inside the cymascope are different structures that are already inherent in water? Thank you for your critical thinking.

@@emilejanse2672 B0 is a reference to a specific musical note; the note being a "B" at octave "0." Look up "B0 piano" and you'll see what it is. But to be even more specific with regards to this video and their device, the note B0 occupies a certain frequency. That frequency being at or very near to 30.87Hz. I don't recall the significance of B0 in thier presentation though. It's nearly been a year, so... To your other questions, I can answer all of those with a simple "no." No, I'm not saying the patterns expressed are due to anything inherent in the water. At any scale greater than that of the molecule, water really has no intrinsic form. So it's not like the introduction of these different frequencies "bring out" something from within the water itself. The water here is no more than a medium by which the propagation of energy waves is made apparent. The oscillating waves imparted onto the vessel move through the medium and reflect off of the solid surfaces which result in the creation of domains of constructive and destructive interference within the medium. How and where these domains manifest is almost entirely dependent on the properties of that which contains the medium. The size, shape, material, density, resonant frequency, etc. of the _container_ are what dictate the emergent patterns we see. Look up "Chladni figures" if you'd like to learn more. Hope this helps..
