What's new in 0.37.0

  • Measure a speaker with a microphone. For a Bluetooth speaker or a car, the device tab can play a set of tones, listen with the microphone from three spots around where you sit, and save a gentle correction as a preset that loads whenever that speaker connects. It cuts peaks by up to 12 dB, lifts dips by no more than 4 dB, and leaves alone what the speaker can't really play. A USB measurement microphone is used when one is plugged in. Nothing is recorded or kept: only each tone's level is read.
  • The version now shows beside the app's name at the top, so it's clear which build is running.
  • The spectrum's info button sits clear of the panel's edge, centred over the dB labels.

Everything since 0.33.0

0.37.0

  • Measure a speaker with a microphone.

  • The spectrum's info button sits clear of the panel's edge, centred over the dB labels.

0.36.0

  • New filter types: tilt, notch and band pass.
  • Slopes for high and low pass, from a gentle 6 to a steep 48 dB per octave. Existing filters stay at 12, so presets sound the same.
  • Left, right or both: each parametric filter can shape one channel only, for headphones whose sides differ.
  • Dynamic filters: a bell or shelf can also turn its range down while it gets loud, like a compressor for just that part of the sound.
  • A tab for what's playing, named and drawn for it: Phone, Headphones, Earbuds, Speaker or Car. It animates when the device changes, and its page offers what suits that device.
  • Output level meter beside the spectrum, which turns red when peaks reach full scale. Tap it to read about it.
  • Discarding changes no longer leaves the filter editor empty.
  • Filter type names no longer get cut off.

0.35.0

  • The graphic EQ faders show the whole sound. Picking a preset moves them to its curve, so each fader reads the real dB at its band. Only your difference from the preset is saved, so presets sound exactly as before.
  • Reset puts the faders back on the preset's curve.
  • Where a preset cuts deeper than a fader reaches, the fader rests at the bottom and the readout gives the real figure.

0.34.0

  • The code uses the Eigentone name throughout, with the package io.github.dragjon.eigentone.
  • After updating from 0.33.0 or earlier: add the Quick Settings tile and home-screen widget again, grant notification access again if you use per-app presets, and re-pin preset shortcuts. Your presets and settings are kept.
  • Share codes from before the name change no longer work. Share the preset again for a new code.
  • "Report a problem" in Settings fits on one line.
