Free Download VST Plugin for Windows Below.

 

The Snail Plugin is available as a Standalone application for Mac and Windows OS, and AAX, AU and VST3 plug-in.

This plug-in offers a new way of tuning and analyzing an instrument in an extremely accurate way. It displays the intonation and visualizes music and sounds in a way that can help anyone improve their listening and intonation!

The inner workings of Snail comprises of two modes and three different display views :

The Modes:

• Music Mode – is the most suitable to view your music with, if for instance it contains complex polyphonic content.

• Tuner Mode – is the preferred to help tune an instrument as it increases the resolution of the analysis.

The Display Views:

• Snail View – provides a representation of the fundamental frequencies and all related harmonics or overtones in real time.

Sound is displayed as ‘blobs’ along a spiralled view from the low frequencies in the center to higher frequencies (and their respective musical notes) up the spiral GUI.

• Zoomed Tuner View – displays the hexagonal shape which rotates and slows down as you zero down to green on the exact reference frequency.

This display is the closest view to a traditional tuner while being incredibly more precise.

• Sonogram View – offers a more standard representation of the sound spectrum over time (vertically), highlighting the prevailing frequencies.

This view provides more detail of the frequencies’ energy for analysis.
