How to Use the Waveform Visualizer

See your sound waves in real-time

Open Visualizer

Starts with 440 Hz sine wave visualization

What the Visualizer Shows

The waveform visualizer displays your audio signal in real-time, showing the characteristic shape of each waveform type:

  • Real-time waveform display with grid overlay
  • Stable display using zero-crossing detection
  • Adaptive cycle display based on frequency
  • A live readout of the current frequency, period, and signal level

Waveform Shapes

Sine wave visualization - smooth, rounded waveform

Sharp rectangular pulses
Try It
Triangle wave visualization - linear slopes forming triangles
Triangle
Linear zigzag pattern
Try It
Sawtooth wave visualization - ramp up with sharp drop
Sawtooth
Ramp up, instant drop
Try It

How to Use

  1. The waveform panel sits below the controls and is shown by default — use its Show/Hide toggle to collapse or reveal it
  2. Press Play to start generating audio
  3. Try different waveform types to see their shapes
  4. Adjust frequency to see how cycles change
Pro Tip: Higher frequencies show more cycles in the display. Lower frequencies show fewer, larger waves.
