Overview

Waveform Analyzer is a native macOS application designed for audio enthusiasts and professionals to build, visualize, and analyze sound waves. It offers a user-friendly interface to explore fundamental sound properties through waveform generation and spectral analysis in real time.

Update: A very rough web-based recreation of Waveform Analyzer is available at tone-gen.com — built in just a few hours for quick experimentation.

Features

  • Four independent oscillators producing sine, triangle, sawtooth, and square waveforms
  • Precise frequency control with adjustments down to 0.0001 Hz and direct numeric input
  • Real-time waveform visualization with an integrated oscilloscope
  • Frequency analysis using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
  • Interactive controls for experimenting with sound synthesis
  • Supported waveforms: sine, triangle, sawtooth, square
