SPV-2

Five meters

Each meter reads one dimension of sound — built to be read, not just admired.

Oscilloscope

Watch the raw waveform over time. Switch between Waveform and Lissajous (XY), tune the time and vertical scale, and let auto-trigger lock the trace to check phase and stereo image.

  • Waveform
  • Lissajous (XY)

Spectrum Analyzer

A 32-band logarithmic FFT lays out the whole spectrum from lows to highs. Peak-hold and frequency labels make it easy to spot a muddy low end or a harsh top.

  • 32-band FFT
  • Peak hold

Chromagram

Detects the pitch classes sounding right now — polyphonically — and maps them onto a piano keyboard. Note Flow scrolls the harmony past as a moving ribbon.

  • Polyphonic
  • Note Flow

BPM Detection

Picks up onsets with spectral flux and estimates tempo by autocorrelation. The track's BPM reads out live — a quick reference for beatmatching or transcribing.

  • Spectral flux

Key Detection

Estimates the key from the chroma profile and shows it in DJ-friendly Camelot notation — so you can pick a harmonically matching next track in seconds.

  • Camelot

Track Info

Title, channel, BPM, and key in one compact readout — the identity of whatever's playing, always next to the meters.

40+ themes

Ten built in — Default, Neon, Monochrome, Amber, Phosphor, Sakura and more — plus Strudel-derived variants for 40+ in total. Recolor the meters to match your mood or the lighting in the booth.

10 built in + 41 from Strudel

Strudel auto-sync: when you're capturing strudel.cc, the meters automatically follow your editor's theme.

Where it works

Works out of the box across the major music and video services — and extends to anywhere you need.

Zero interference

SPV-2 doesn't touch the page, doesn't track you, and doesn't send anything out. Audio is captured via Chrome's tabCapture API and processed entirely inside the extension.

Three principles

Release notes

Since launch, the meters, supported sites, themes, and languages have grown steadily.

  1. v1.3.1

    Smoother low-end in the Spectrum view: the lowest bars no longer flatten out, now interpolated cleanly down to 20 Hz. Spanish localization added.

  2. v1.3.0

    Japanese and German localization (both the extension UI and the Web Store listing).

  3. v1.2.0

    Strudel integration. Added 41 Strudel-derived themes; on strudel.cc the meters auto-sync to your editor theme. New theme picker, too.

  4. v1.1.0

    Multi-site support. Added 10+ sites beyond YouTube, an All-websites mode, a vertical scale for the Oscilloscope, and a confirmation step before the permissions dialog.

  5. v1.0.0

    First release. Five meters (Oscilloscope, Spectrum, Chromagram, BPM, Key) plus Track Info, ten themes, and a customizable layout.

Start watching your sound.

Open the side panel and the song you're already playing comes alive on the meters.
